关于矿床学创新问题的探讨

Innovative research on mineral deposit geology.

为保证矿产资源的持续供应和国家资源安全,需要加强矿床研究以指导矿产勘查的重大突破。在简要回顾矿床学百年发展历史的基础上,初步概括了矿床学开拓创新的基本条件,包括:①矿业发展是推动矿床学发展的原动力;②地学的整体发展为矿床研究提供了基础;③新技术装备提高了发现和创新的能力;④科学的思维方法;⑤个人创造和几代人的共同努力。针对国家需求、学科发展前缘和中国矿床特色相结合的原则,提出了重大地质事件与大规模成矿,深部过程、浅表环境与成矿作用等需要深入研究的10个矿床学科学问题。最后提出了改进矿床学研究的6点意见和建议,强调矿床研究要主动服务于矿产勘查,要深入野外一线并将继承与开创很好地结合。

The study of mineral deposit geology should be strengthened in the 21st century in order to discover new deposits and ensure a continuing supply of mineral resources. Based on a brief review of important achievements of mineral deposit geology in the last century, the author summarizes the basic factors on the innovative research of ore deposit geology, including： （1） development of mining industry as the motive power; （2） the Earth sciences, which constitutes the foundation for the successful search of new deposits; （3） introduction of advanced techniques and innovative scientific thinking; and （4） the combination of personal efforts and collective wisdom. Based on economic demands, geoscience trends and the characteristics of metallogenic systems in China, the author puts forward ten research topics which may guide the mineral exploration industry, including： major geological events and metallogenic systems; deep seated processes, shallow environment and ore deposition; etc. Finally, some suggestions are made to improve research on metallogenic systems in the future.
