Abstract. Ban Lim area, Caobang province has proposed high potential of lead-zinc resources, which have occurred in different geological formations. In this paper, based on the collecting, synthetics and processing geological data, especially applied mathematical methods to recognize studied objects of exploration process and quantitative description. The results show that the lead-zinc orebodies in Ban Lim area are mainly occurred in lens-shaped and distributed in layered surfaces of dolomitized limestone of Coc Xo formation. The average lead-zinc content of the orebodies is in a range from 3.27% to 8.33%, its coefficient of variation (Vc) is in a range from 13.71% (evenly) to 137.92% (very unevenly). On the whole, the lead-zinc contents of the orebodies in Ban Lim area mainly comply with the standard normal distribution. The average thicknesses of the orebodies are in a range from 0.92 m to 6.48 m, its coefficient of variation (Vm) is in the range from 8.7% (stable) to 132.95% (very unstable). Quantitative calculation results have shown that Ban Lim lead-zinc deposit belongs to group III of deposits. For the exploration of this type of minerals, it is recommended to use linear grid pattern. Appropriate exploration grid pattern for category 122 reserve is (60-80)×(30-40) m.
