Resource aspect of concepts of economic geology
The subject of the study is the informative mapping of geological features and processes with them as natural and economic resources. The purpose of this article is to develop some theoretical propositions that treat economic geology as a resource science. Methodology of work - the method of abstract-logical analysis (in determining the system of concepts and indicators of geological-resource information); monographic analysis (when using the resource approach), comparison and generalization (when forming conclusions and proposals). Results of work. Conducting explorations of geological information, according to literary sources, substantiates the notion of the geological resource field, which should be considered theoretically and practically as a resource, reflecting the resource and economic side of minerals, their deposits and other geological objects and processes with them. That is, it explores geological and economic objects, generally called the ones we need of natural origin. Mineral deposits are considered as a production resource object, a source of mineral raw materials (for its further use in the production of industrial products). Geological and economic needs are studied in the process of exploration of subsoil geology, that is, substantively and in some respects, mineral deposits as production objects, for exploitation in further economic and production activities with minerals; information is generated to determine the complex of production (technical, economic, economic, financial and other) indicators of geological enterprises (exploration), mining companies (mining), processing enterprises (eg, metallurgical, coal, energy) belonging to objects of national ownership. Conclusions - Our applied scientific geological-resource branch should be considered theoretically and practically as due to resource science, which combines the study and geological assessment and the reflected economic evaluation of subsoil objects and processes with them, ie natural in origin and as economic origin objects. Geological and economic needs are explored in the process of exploration of the subsoil, ie on the basis of: origin as natural objects; by use as economic objects (minerals can be mined goods, raw materials; the field is used as a production object), etc .; reflected in content or in certain indicators, mineral deposits as production objects, for the purpose of exploitation in further economic and production activities with minerals.
