Abstract:In this paper, the compilation principles of specifications for diamond exploration(DZ/T 0384—2021) have been expounded. Meanwhile, main contents of the specifications, such as the exploration purpose of diamond ore deposits, the division of exploration stages, the degree of exploration work, exploration technical means have been clearly defined. The requirements of green exploration work have been integrated into the specifications. In this paper,the division of the scale of diamond ore deposits has been divided, the interval of basic exploration engineering, the general industrial index, reasonable volume of beneficiation samples, and the calculation of average grade have been studied.
