Coal. petroleum, natural gas, gold, iron, magnesite, graphite, talc, molding sand, glass sand and some others account for large portion in reserves and yields of that in the whole country. The region faced also shortages of copper, molybdenum, oil shale, zirconium, tantalum, rare earth, and beryllium, although they have large reserves, but limited by economical and technical factors. Geological mapping and mineral exploration activities have been intensive. Only the north part of Daxinanling Mountains in the region leaves unexplored. GIS applications in mineral resource assessment in the region start not long. Databases for GIS applications are on the way of construction. Well - trained technical staff and expertise do not meet the demand. This article reviews the situation of mineral resources and GIS applications for mineral resource assessment in the region. Suggestions on multi - lateral cooperation and GIS training are also made.展开更多

The construction of Spatial Information Grid overcomes the shortages of personal computers when dealing with geological data. The authors introduce the definition, architecture and flow of mineral resources assessment by weights of evidence model based on Spatial Information Grid (SIG). Meanwhile, a case study on the prediction of copper mineral occurrence in the Middle-Lower Yangtze metallogenic belt is given. The results show that mineral resources assessement based on SIG is an effective new method which provides a way of sharing and integrating distributed geospatial information and improves the efficiency greatly.展开更多

This system adopts an integrated technique of data warehouse composed of affairs processing layer and analysis application layer. The affairs processing layer includes multiform databases (such as geological database, geophysical database, geochemical database), while the analysis application layer includes data warehouse, online analysis processing and data mining. This paper also presents in detail the data warehouse of the present system and the appropriate spatial analysis methods and models. Finally, this paper presents the prospect of the system.展开更多

The research in mineral resources assessment based on GIS plays a more important and particular role in development of Gejiu. Now mineral resources assessment has been guided by new theories. It makes full use of a large information data of geology, geophysics, geochemistry and remote sensing, which are obtained from current geology exploration, in order to carry out integration mineral analysis, assessment, and to research into the data farther in high levels. At present, the processing of data by computer technique has become more powerful, because GIS was developed in recent years. Particularly, GIS has opened up vast prospects for integrated processing of geoscience data and prognosis of ore resources. GIS can analyze, extract mineral information, quantitatively assess mineral resources, delineate tractes, construct variables, carry out prospecting targets selection and so on.展开更多
