Liu Zhiyi and colleagues have used the penetration capability of muons for the detection of cultural relicts and ores. Using self developed detection equipment, they conducted field measurement in a gold mine in northwest China’s Gansu Province. Using six sets of equipment to scan a large area of the gold mine, the imaging results clearly showed gold veins, several goaf areas and a low density geological structure above the scanned area.
