深海硫化物资源富含Cu、Zn、Fe、Mn等10多种金属,开发价值极高,对其进行准确的评价能够为将来的勘探开采提供非常重要的数据支持。概述了深海硫化物资源的分布特征与赋存特点;介绍了深海硫化物资源的评价方法以及评价所需设备,并以南太索尔瓦拉1远景矿区资源评价为例,对硫化物资源评价方法进行了讨论,并分析了存在的问题。
Deep seafloor is a huge resource restore for the future human development, such as sulfide resource rich in many kinds of metals, including Cu, Zn,Fe and Mn etc. It would supply important supporting data for future exploration after exact evaluation of the sulfide resource. In this paper the distribution and occurrence characteristics of sulfide recourse in deepsea are analyzed, and the method for sulfide resource evaluation and the sampling equipments are introduced. Finally, the resource eval- uation method and problems existing are discussed in the case of Solwara 1 massive sulfide prospect.
