矿床研究急需加强

MORE EFFORTS SHOULD BE MADE FOR RESEARCH ON ORE DEPOSITS

It has been emphasized in the article that research on geology of ore deposits wou1d playgreat role in ore prospecting’ However l a common neg1ect in the study on geology of ore de-posits was exposed in the circles of geological workes’ Phenomena showing that neglect wereenumerated as follows: 1. The research on geology of ore deposits was not regared as a basisfor reconnaissance and prospecting and an indispensable part of exploration works. 2. The re-search in geological institutes was to be underestimated and was to be considered as lladd flow-ers to the bracade. " The artic1e recommends nine successful models which were establishedthrough research on geology of ore deposits and have played an important role in ore prospect-ings around the world: (1)Occurrence model for Archaeozoic Au-bearing uranium conglomer-ate 1 (2)Occurrence mode1 for uranium roll; (3)Genetic model for sedimentary phosphate; (4 )Model for porphyry molybdenum deposit; (5)Genetic model for nickel (p1atinum ) deposit inMg-rich lava; (6)Process model for regional sedimentary basin; (7)Genetic model for volcanic-metallogenic process; (8)Metallogenic model for natural sulfur associated with gypsumand anhydrite; (9)Model for porphyry copper deposit. In the third paragraphy there is a detailed description of the relationship between geological aehievement in the study on Kuroko deposit and deposit-discovering in Kitashika Basin, Japan. The fact that "Three years are neededfor conceiving a new hypothesis and another five years for discovering a new ore deposit" explains the importance of research on geology of ore deposits. The overarching recommendationis that there should be a major commitment to the study on geology of ore deposits..
