Uticaj razvoja metageologije na optimalnost geološko-ekonomske ocene mineralnih resursa

The influence of metalogeology on the optimum economic-geological estimation of mineral resources

Abstract

The emergence and development of a new sdentific discipline — metageology — have essentially influenced the geology in general, and each of the geologic disciplines in particular. It provides for a systematic, logic—based examination of the study subject, structure and method used, with the emphasis laid on the most important concepts and corresponding terms, classification, assessments and different types of conclusions.

This article analyses characteristic relations between the metageology and the economic geology, primarily the estimation of mineral resources, or ore occurrences and deposits and hierarchically higher metallogenic units from the economic-geological aspect.
