THE LU-ZONG IRON-COPPER INTEGRATED EXPLORATION ZONE IN ANHUI PROVINCE A SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE IN INNOVATION OF NEW ORE-PROSPECTING MECHANISM

The Lujiang-Zongyang area is the only ministerial-level integrated exploration zone and has undergone three major stages from ore-prospecting works to four-party exploration and integrated exploration,and brought the Nihe Mode into being,represented by major breakthroughs in fundamental geology,sci-tech innovation and deep ore prospecting.Successful practices include integrated exploration linkage mechanism,sci-tech lead and support,scheme instruction and fundamental geological work strengthening,funding guide and pull,effective incentive mechanism and mineral title management innovation mechanism.The experience and mode of the Lu-Zong iron-copper integrated exploration zone have promoted innovation of ore prospecting mechanism in the province and the country.Another highlight of the experience in integrated exploration is from the Wuhe area,Anhui Province.
