As we all know, resource exploration is the most upstream of the industrial chain of mining enterprises, and the construction of ecological mining and green exploration is the first step. To this end, Shandong Gold Group Co., Ltd. has taken green exploration as the first step to deploy a green mining "big chess game". Since 2018, Shandong Gold has started the road of green exploration and construction, exploring advanced technology, safe and efficient, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly exploration work modes. Up to now, all 6 prospecting projects of 3 geological prospecting units under Shandong Gold have been included in the national green prospecting demonstration project list. Among them, Shandong Gold Geological and Mineral Exploration Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Golden Geological Prospecting Company") was entrusted by the China Gold Association to lead the preparation and completion of the group standard "Gold Geological Green Prospecting Technical Specifications" to be issued by China Metallurgical Industry Press, which means Shandong's green exploration of gold has achieved a qualitative leap from "crossing the river by feeling the stones" to "leading the country by demonstration." Green exploration has become the "green code" for Shandong Gold to unlock the high-quality conversion between "green water and green mountains" and "Jinshan Yinshan".

If you want to be straight, you must rule it out. To do a good job in green exploration, first of all, there must be implementation standards. However, green exploration is a new term derived from the construction of green mines in recent years. It is a brand-new concept and model of mineral exploration. At the beginning of the construction of green exploration in 2018, high-level national standards and industry standards have not yet been issued, and there are very few geological exploration units in the industry that implement green exploration. The lack of institutional standards has undoubtedly become a "blocker" in their green exploration journey.

"Since there is no standard in the industry, then create your own standards, and let Shandong Gold's standards become the yardstick and guide." It is precisely with this spirit of "seeking no easy things, no refuge", Shandong Gold has organized geological technology many times. , Drilling, construction, safety and environmental protection, and material supply personnel to conduct a large discussion, starting from each process and each link of mineral exploration, and jointly looking for various ways to save energy, reduce consumption, reduce noise, and reduce pollution, and finally complete the compilation by the end of 2018 "Green Prospecting Planning", formulating "Green Prospecting Project Management Measures", "Solid Minerals Green Prospecting Work Standard", "Green Prospecting Project Field Project Final Environmental Protection Acceptance Requirements" and other systems, forming the whole process of survey design, construction, inspection, and acceptance Closed-loop management model.

Under the guidance of these plans, systems, and standards, Shandong Gold’s three geological prospecting companies (Golden Geological Prospecting Company, Inner Mongolia Geological Prospecting Company, and Western Geological Prospecting Company) all completed green exploration and construction at the end of 2018. Standardized management, from drilling into the site, leveling the site, building foundations, installing equipment, drilling-construction-final hole, demolition, site restoration, etc. all links are strictly implemented in accordance with the standards, and the construction site is now completely new.

Green exploration is not simply "greening", planting trees and flowers on site, but a systematic "green change" with all elements such as safety, management, environmental protection, technological innovation, and corporate culture. Among them, technological innovation is the first driving force to promote the transformation of resource exploration from traditional prospecting to green, intelligent, and digital.

In the construction of green exploration, Shandong Gold continues to eliminate geological prospecting methods and technologies that have a greater impact on the ecological environment, and introduces and develops advanced prospecting methods, methods, equipment and techniques to achieve the goal of "changing cages for birds". This has brought a reborn transformation in the way of surveying.

Digital geological prospecting, realizing precise prospecting. Casting the net widely, it is better to make fine troughs, scientifically deploy, and optimize the exploration area to reduce the environmental disturbance caused by the prospecting project from the source. To this end, Shandong Gold has built a "Mountain Gold Cloud" platform to establish a comprehensive three-dimensional geological model integrating remote sensing, geology, geophysical and geochemical prospecting, surveying and mapping and other factors around important metallogenic belts within and outside the province to realize the visualization of geological resources and further improve the prediction target. The accuracy of the area and the gold content of the prospecting results reduce the environmental damage caused by ineffective exploration.

One base is porous, reducing the project area. In the traditional prospecting technology, trench exploration has particularly serious damage to the surface vegetation. In the process of geological exploration, Shandong Gold used drills instead of troughs to carry out surveys on the premise of satisfying the purpose of geological surveys, and gave priority to the selection of a basic multi-hole design plan to avoid the disturbance of the ecological environment due to repeated construction. For example, the reporter learned from the deep and peripheral gold mine exploration projects in the new city that they optimized the original 18500m/15 holes to 14690m/12 holes in order to avoid the residential areas reasonably during the construction design, which reduced the occupation of 9 sites. The temporary land saving rate reaches 60%.

Innovative technology to achieve energy saving and consumption reduction. Shandong Gold has established a drilling technology and equipment innovation studio to carry out green exploration equipment improvement and technological process innovation. According to the studio technician Pan Yao, "We have conducted hundreds of experiments only to reduce the energy consumption of the drilling rig." Based on the principle that the variable frequency motor is more energy-efficient than the same frequency motor, the XY-6B drilling rig is frequency-converted. The transformation is equipped with a frequency conversion control soft-characteristic start control cabinet. After the transformation, the drilling rig saves more than 20% of energy consumption, which not only achieves the goal of environmental protection, but also improves work efficiency.

The successful research and development of 　　XY-6B drilling rig has also greatly increased the "gold content" of Shandong Gold's green exploration. Such technological transformations abound in innovation studios. In order to meet the requirements of green exploration, a drilling fluid circulation system, an oil pan device, a coring winch protection device, a drilling audio and video command system, and a drilling platform support device have been developed one after another. Drilling steering frame hoisting auxiliary device... It is precisely with the support of these scientific research inventions that Shandong gold green exploration and construction has undergone a radical transformation.

In January 2020, Shandong Gold's "General Survey of Shuangshanzi Copper Polymetallic Deposit in Aluhorqin Banner" and "Exploration of Black Lead-Zinc Polymetallic Deposit in Xiwuzhumuqin Banner" were successfully selected as the first batch of national green exploration demonstration projects. , Only 18 projects nationwide were selected. In January 2021, the green exploration project of Shandong Gold "Exploration of the Peripheral and Deep Gold Mines of Xincheng Mining Area" was selected as the second batch of national green exploration demonstration projects with the first place in Shandong Province.

In the construction of ecological civilization, Shandong Gold will not only be able to "self-help" and build a green mining system integrating green exploration, green mining, and green selection and smelting. In the goal of carbon neutrality, we consciously fulfill the responsibilities of state-owned enterprises, lead and demonstrate the green upgrade of other mining enterprises, and work together to create a new situation in the "ecological industry".

In 2019, Shandong Gold was invited to participate in the "First Exploration Summit Forum of Shandong Province" sponsored by the Geological Society of Shandong Province and the "20th Annual Conference of National Prospecting Engineering Academic Exchange" sponsored by the Geological Society of China. High praise from Fang and experts at the conference: “You have taken the right direction to build a green exploration demonstration project. In the context of building an ecological civilization, your green exploration has not only been in the forefront of the province, it has provided experience and experience for other geological exploration companies. Demonstration, and it is also of great significance to promote the green transformation of geological exploration." In 2021, entrusted by the China Gold Association, Shandong Gold led the preparation of the national group standard "Golden Geological Green Prospecting Technical Specifications" (T/CGA018-2021), in 2021 Approved for publication on January 25, 2005, and will be published and distributed by China Metallurgical Industry Press. The release of this standard has given a clearer, more operable and greener group standard for mineral exploration.

The fruitful results of green exploration have given Shandong Gold countless fans in the same industry. In recent years, China National Gold Resources Co., Ltd., Zhaojin Group, Inner Mongolia Jincai Industrial Group, Hunan Gold Group, Tianjin Geological Survey Center, Shandong Seventh Geological and Mineral Exploration Institute and other large, medium and small mining enterprises and brother geological prospecting units have come to learn from the experience. communicate with. According to Sun Zhifu, the person in charge of the Golden Geological Exploration Company of Shandong Gold, “Green exploration has a high output ratio in the long run. XY-6B drilling rig frequency conversion energy-saving transformation, reducing energy consumption by more than 20%; FRP recycling system discharge The reduction rate of rock dust content is 68.75%; the laying of environmentally friendly geotextiles and oil pans ensures that the oil does not fall to the ground, prevents soil pollution, and the later treatment investment is greatly reduced; the sound insulation wall is set up, and the noise is controlled at 70 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night , Has been recognized by surrounding residents. Green exploration has achieved a win-win situation of ecological, economic and social benefits."

People live up to the green hills, and green hills will surely live up to others. Shandong Gold will continue to firmly implement the "two mountains" theory, follow the new development concept of "innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing", actively integrate into the new pattern of national ecological civilization construction, deepen the development of green mining, and continue to maintain the "first-class" demonstration leading position , Let green become the bright background color for Shandong Gold to become the world's leading mining group.
