论地质科学与勘查找矿的关系

本文从历史的角度探讨地质科学与勘查找矿的关系。十九世纪中叶以前，地质学家并不把找矿视为其工作范畴内的事情。然而，随着地质科学理论体系的成熟和发展，其知识和思想方法已广泛应用于勘查找矿，并且随着找矿难度的加大，勘查找矿越来越离不开地质科学理论的指导。勘查找矿的新发现、新成果也在不断地促进成矿理论的更新。同时也要避免迷信、盲从新理论和贬低地质理论在勘查找矿中的作用的两种错误倾向。

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GEOSCIENCE AND EXPLORATION

The relationship between geoscience and exploration is discussed from the historical view. Exploration of mineralresources was not treated as the contents of the most geologist's research before the middle age of nineteen century. However lasthe theoretical system of geoscience was maturated and developed, it's knowledge and thinking method we are widely used in exploration. As the exploration of mineral deposits is getting increasing difficult,the guide of geoscience is increasingly being reliedon. The new discovery and result of exploration have been furthering the development of metallogenic theory.
