ABSTRACT
The theory of Quantitative Appraisal for Mineral Resources with Integrated Information (QAMRII) includes three parts. The first is the theory of metallogenic prognosis. The second is the theory of statistical prognosis of resource occurrences. The third is the theory of quantitative prediction of mineral resources. QAMRII regards the geological hypothesis as geological prerequisite, the geological bodies and the possible mineral resources bodies as the basic prognosis units in prediction. Different kinds of geo – data are generally not unanimous. QAMRII studies the interrelation of geological, geochemical, geophysical, and remote sensing information for the prognosis of mineral resources, including larger and superlarge deposits and blind deposits, of known and unknown types. A wide range of methods to transform, associate, and synthesize the different kinds of information, to delineate the geological and mineral resource bodies, to select the model units, to choose the mathematical models, to determine the necessary variables are studied in QAMRII.
