Accurately positioning detection of concealed deposits or orebodies is one of the difficult problems in mineral exploration field. Theory calculation and exploration practices for tunnel gravity indicate that 3D highprecision Tunnel Gravity Exploration Method (TGEM) can find concealed highdensity threedimensional orebodies in the depth. The orefinding breakthroughs at the depth of the Zhaotong Maoping carbonatehosted Zn–Pb–(Ag–Ge) deposit in Northeastern Yunnan have proved that the exploration method in combination with MEAHFZ method is effective to detect concealed highdensity orebodies. TGEM may overcome anomalous ambiguity of other geophysical methods for 3D positioning of concealed orebodies.
