矿产区划——地质科学研究与矿产勘查结合的新形式

矿产区划是"研究成矿规律、进行矿产预测、提出选区和地质工作部署建议"的工作,属基础性、公益性、科研性、先导性融合一体的矿产勘查前期工作。矿产区划工作在我国已实施了三轮,每一轮矿产区划工作都是由国土资源部领导直接部署,即由政府提出、政府下属的地勘单位、科研单位实施。矿产区划成果是部署矿产勘查,编制地质矿产保证工程和地质工作中、长期发展规划的资料基础及科学依据;矿产区划成果直接引领地质找矿突破和大型、超大型矿床的勘查。矿产区划的指导理论是区域成矿学,特别是矿床成矿系列理论最有效。三轮矿产区划的成果证实:矿产区划工作成果促进我国矿产勘查工作的发展,实现了地质找矿的突破;创建了我国独有的矿产预测新理论,发展和充实了矿床成矿系列理论;带动了计算机技术在矿产勘查中的应用;实现了地质矿产理论研究与矿产勘查的一体化。

Mineral Resources Assessment: A New Combination Model of Scientific Research with Mineral Exploration

Mineral resources assessment (MRA) is shaped by the work of metalloge nicrese arch and prognosis for making recommen dations of prospecting target areasand geological work deployments;it belongs to the preliminary processes of mineral exploration with the integrating nature of basic, public, scientific researching and precursory. Three rounds of national wide MRA have been accomplished in China, under the leadership of departments of land and resources, i.e., being proposed by the government,and enforced by government affiliated geological exploration enterprises and scientific research in stitutions.The achievements of MRA provide data base and scientific basis for arranging mineral exploration,as well as for the documentation of Geologicaland Mineral Resources Security Projects and medium to long term development plans. The achievements are also directly applied in practices of the National Exploration and Development Planning projects, and exploration of large and super large ore deposits. MRA programs are guided theoretically by the regional metallogeny, in which the most effective is the theory of minerogenetic series. The third round of MRA in China has demonstrated its results to be fruitful in a wide range: stimulates the development of mineral exploration, with a series of breakthrough in ore prospecting;created a new theory of metallogenic prognosis;promoted and enriched the theory of minerogenetic series;brings about the continuous applications and innovation of computer technology in mineral exploration;integrated the theoretical studies of geology and metallogeny with the practices of mineral exploration.
