Clustering of Down-Hole Physical Properties Measurement to Characterize Rock Units at the Victoria Cu-Ni Property

Summary Magnetic susceptibility, density, and gamma ray counts are three physical properties measured within a hole drilled at Victoria property, were used to identify rock types. The fuzzy k-means clustering algorithm was used to divide the data into different clusters, each of which represented a rock group with similar physical properties characteristics. The number of clusters reveals the number of rock groups which are identifiable based on physical properties measurements. Characterization of physical properties of rocks within the hole will help to modify the geological model and plan further exploration activities.
