History and important progress of research and compilation of Annals of Geolo-gy of Mineral Resources of China and its application in exploration break-through strategic action
As the first large-scale professional annal in the field of mineral resources in New China,Annals of Geology of Mineral Resources of China has deployed more than 120 tasks since its launch in 2014,with plans to complete more than 230 annals.With the joint efforts of more than 630 units/organizations and over 4500 geological profes-sionals,more than 200 annals have been finally reviewed and approved,of which 87 annals have been officially published,with a total of nerly 60 000 pages and approximately 130 million words.Through the compialtion writ-ing and research of annals,we have basically identified the current situation of discovered mineral species and mineral deposits in China.We have systematically compiled a new generation of distribution maps of mineral de-posits,geological maps of ore deposit,and maps of metallogenic regularity The annal comprehensively showcas-es the spatiotemporal distribution and metallogenic regularity of mineral resources,analyzes the potential and prospecting prospects of mineral resources in China,and lays the foundation for ensuring national energy and re-source security.By comprehensively summarizing the geological exploration achievements of over a century in China,we have deepened the research on regional metallogenic regularity,established multi-scale mineralization models and exploration models,and innovated and developed the theory of minerogenetic series.Following the principle of"servicing and publishing while compiling and researching",the annals have been widely applied in mineral resource planning and management,mineral exploration deployment,talent cultivation,and scientific popularization,especially in guiding the exploration of minerals such as rare minerals,rare earth minerals,scat-tered minerals,iron,gold,lithium,bauxite,graphite,fluorite,quartz,etc.These annals have played an important role in supporting the new round of exploration breakthrough strategic action.
