Abstract:Within the scope of six districts and counties in Tai'an city, there occurred metallic mineral resources, such as iron and gold, and non-metallic mineral resources, such as coal and gypsum. Two types of minerals resources occurred in five uplifts and five depressions alternately with the trend of SN. Iron, gold and other minerals occurred in the uplifts; while coal, gypsum and other minerals occurred in depressions. On the basis of analyzing structural characteristics of uplifts, it is regarded that uplifts and depressions with the trend of SN are integrated. The deep part of the depression has the similar geological conditions with the uplifts. Similar analogy theory will provide space for geological prospecting work. In two types of minerals and probably omissed minerals exploration, iron and gold deposit should be found in uplift, and coal, gypsum, oil exploration should be found in depressions. Comprehensive prospecting and exploration ideas should be established in order to integrate mining and co-ordinate the implementation of fully equipped exploration.
