In the second phase of exploration in Huiyang Ni ore district Luoyang spade exploration technique dominates the exploration and it is complemented with pitting.Good result is obtained.Ni grade curve of Luoyang spade exploration technique can be correlated with that of pitting and Fe grade curves change in the same tendency.Also Ni grade curve tendency of Luoyang spade technique is very similar to that of shallow drilling.Therefore,we consider that Luoyang spade exploration technique is suitable for shallow exploration of lateritic Ni deposit whose Ni grade changes very little.Combined with pitting and shallow drilling Luoyang spade technique will show advantages in the risk exploration.
