Abstract: Keletale Lead-zinc ore is a key typical deposit with major characteristics in non-ferrous and precious metals ore-forming in the southern Aletai edge. The current exploration reserves are about 5 million t. In order to further expand the vision of deposit reserves, and according to the proven lead-zinc resources in Keketale lead-zinc deposit, the law zipf's law is applied to predict long-term resources reserves, laying a theoretical basis for further lead-zinc exploration in this region. The prediction results indicate that there is a large prospecting prospect in Keketale lead-zinc deposit with about 15.786 million t of lead-zinc resources required to identify.

Key words: Resource reserve prediction, Zipf's law, Lead-zinc ore
