Abstract Using geochemical information obtained in Sous-Massa-Dela area of Morocco, the authors adopted the method for drawing the ternary diagram to infer the covering situation of the geological body as well as the intensity of element composite anomaly and predict types of mineral resources. Based on sieving rock-forming elements with strong correlation, this method utilizes the element content data of three units to realize mapping and deduces the geological body and evaluates the composite anomaly of metallogenic elements based on the color chart of the ternary diagram. The results obtained by the authors show that the ternary diagram method is quite effective in dividing the geological body, delineating the distribution of composite anomaly of metallogenic elements and predicting distribution of polymetallic mineral resources. It is proved that the method can reflect the characteristics of geological division.
