Digital geology and quantitative mineral exploration

Abstract

Abstract:

The concept of mineral exploration, or so-called “exploration philosophy” in the Western countries, is the thoughts, methodology, technology, goal and organization guiding mineral exploration. The three basic elements of mineral exploration are “what to find”, “where to find” and “how to find”. As these elements evolve with time, it provides a powerful force to gradually changing the concept, methodology and technology of mineral exploration. Innovative ideas of mineral exploration come from the continuing scientific exploration and development keeping pace with the times. Digital geology, the data analysis component of geoscience, is the combination of mathematical geology and information technology.Geological data science uses the general methodology of data science to study geology based on the characteristics of geological data and the needs of geological work. And digital mineral exploration is the application of digital geology in mineral exploration to reduce uncertainty in ore prospecting.

Key words: three basic elements of mineral exploration, integrated digital ore-finding patterns, quantitative assessment of mineral resources, mathematical geology, digital geoscience
