新的资源-环境勘查一体化评价观及建议

从矿产资源勘查、评价阶段开始考虑矿山环境问题,是实现绿色矿业的基石之一。本文从矿产资源勘查角度,讨论在矿产资源勘查的不同阶段(区域矿产普查、远景区勘查到矿床勘探即详查),传统资源学家所必须考虑的环境问题及地质勘探过程中所获资料在矿床(山)环境评价中的作用。作者建议:①为适应我国新时期地质工作的需要,应适时启动资源-环境一体化方面的研究,在资源评价和勘查阶段考虑环境问题,从资源评价与勘查获得的大量资料中提取环境信息,不仅可帮助解决一些与资源有关的环境问题,而且可提高地质资料的利用率;②虽然资源学家理解矿床环境有关的地质作用,具有研究矿床环境的某些优势,但我们必须即时转变观念,不断更新知识,特别是环境科学、流行病学和生物科学方面的知识,才能真正实现角色转换。

A NEW SUGGESTION TO BUILD A BRIDGE BETWEEN EXPLORATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES

To build an environmental friendly mining industry,it is essential to assess the impacts of mineral exploration.From geological view points,traditional economic or exploration geologists should take it into consideration of the environmental problems from different phases of mineral exploration(exploration planning,regional exploration,prospect evaluation and prospect characterization) and use the data for the purpose of exploring mineral resources to solve environmental problems for the mining planning and mining.The authors suggest that: to meet the demand of geological survey in the 21th century,a linkage should be established between mineral resources and environment,environmental issues should be considered from mineral exploration and assessment;although economic or exploration geologists can understand the environmental processes of mineral exploitation well and have some advantages to deal with the problems of geo-environment as compared with other scientists,they should totally renew their view points and knowledge timely,especially on environmental science,biology and epidemic disease.
