However, long-term mining has led to the depletion of proven reserves in the Qingchengzi ore concentration zone. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out prospecting in the periphery of the existing ore bodies. Taking into account the complex surface conditions of the Qingchengzi mining area, we carried out an airborne time-domain electromagnetic survey in this region and obtained a high-precision underground resistivity model which covers the whole area. The quasi-3D inversion result shows a good agreement with the surface geological information. After analyzing the relationship between the underground geological structures and the resistivity model, we constructed a geological model with the distribution of the main strata, the rock masses and the faults. The reconstructed resistivity distribution of the entire region added new knowledge to understand the geology of the Qingchengzi survey area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14194716","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]],"date-time":"2022-09-22T23:07:55Z","timestamp":1663888075000},"page":"4716","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Application of Time-Domain Airborne Electromagnetic Method to the Study of Qingchengzi Ore Concentration Area in China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0368-0238","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changmin","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Engineering Laboratory for Deep Resources Equipment and Technology, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Innovation Academy for Earth Science, CAS, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8055-6225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qingyun","family":"Di","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Engineering Laboratory for Deep Resources Equipment and Technology, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Innovation Academy for Earth Science, CAS, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9687-894X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Da","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Engineering Laboratory for Deep Resources Equipment and Technology, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Innovation Academy for Earth Science, CAS, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaotian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Engineering Laboratory for Deep Resources Equipment and Technology, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Innovation Academy for Earth Science, CAS, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Yilang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Engineering Laboratory for Deep Resources Equipment and Technology, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"Innovation Academy for Earth Science, CAS, Beijing 100029, China"},{"name":"College of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jseaes.2014.05.009","article-title":"Geochronology, geochemistry and Hf isotope of Late Triassic magmatic rocks of Qingchengzi district in Liaodong peninsula, Northeast China","volume":"91","author":"Duan","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
