Faults, which role greatly in the generation and spatial distribution of mineral resources, are always related to the lineament interpreted from remote sensing data. This paper introduces an improved segment tracing algorithm (STA) to interpret lineament from remote sensing data (DEM) in Gejiu tin mine, China. In this analysis, a lineament is treated as a straight line in the horizontal plane and its dip is not considered. A fault is created by connecting several lineaments, which appear to belong to the same system, using the criteria of distance and directional angle. The proposed method was applied to mines in Gejiu tin mine, a area of Triassic limestone with tin mine. A correlation exists between interpreted fault orientations and (1) the predominant azimuth of joints appearing on the tunnel walls of a tin deposit in the limestone area and (2) the orientation of main tin deposits. Furthermore, the proposed method is capable of calculating the intersection pattern of fractures at an arbitrary level below the ground surface.

There are several surveying methods whose practical function is to determine the areas of land, distances, heights, the amount of earthwork, and to produce reduced images of the earth's surface. The research looks at how geodetic and remote sensing methods can be used, and the results they provide in quarry surveying. The most important in quarry surveying is to get an accurate land surface for calculation of the volume of mineral resources. After quarries surveying, it is possible to calculate the amount of remaining mineral resources. Within the framework of the research, were performed surveying in quarries with geodetic surveying and remote sensing methods. For geodetic surveying was used GNSS receiver and a robotic total station, but from remote sensing methods were used aerial photography and aerial laser scanning. The most important reason why it is important to get an accurate surface and make an accurate volume calculation in quarry surveying is the economic factor. The economic analysis was carried out using a comparison method based on volume, market price and natural resources tax. The research presents the advantages and disadvantages of each surveying method and explains the results obtained, based on economic calculations. The main conclusion is that the accuracy of the preparation of land surface relief models is based mainly on economic calculations because mineral resources are a commodity that is bought and sold for which tax is payable.

The traditional data processing and analysis method of remote sensing image processing system cannot meet the hyperspectral remote sensing mass data processing and the need of practical application in mineral resources exploration. By studying the systematical analysis and key technology on the hyperspectral mineral information identification module, and analyzing and thinking about the relevant theoretical methods and technical process, carried out the development of hyperspectral mineral information identification module based on IDL and integrated with ENVI software, providing the basic support platform for hyperspectral remote sensing mineral resources exploration. Meanwhile, the existing problems were discussed from the spectral characteristics mechanism analysis of rock and the hyperspectral mineral identification optimization algorithms.

The Fourth generation industrial age and 5G + intelligent communication in the "Fourth Paradigm of Science" in the 21st century provide a new opportunity for research on the relationship between mining development and environmental protection. This paper is based on the theory of metallogenic geodynamics background, metallogenic process and quantitative evaluation and chooses the Luanchuan district as a case study, using deep-level artificial intelligence mining and three/four-dimensional (3D/4D) multi-disciplinary, multi-parameter and multi-scale modeling technology platform of geoscience big data (including multi-dimensional and multi-scale geological, geophysical, geochemical, hyperspectral and highresolution remote sensing (multi-temporal) and real-time mining data), carrying out the construction of 3D geological model, metallogenic process model and quantitative exploration model from district to deposit scales and the quantitative prediction and evaluation of the regional Mo polymetallic mineral resources, the aim is to realize the dynamic evaluation of highprecision 3D geological (rock, structure, hydrology, soil, etc.) environment protection and comprehensive development and utilization of mineral resources in digital and wisdom mines, it provides scientific information for the sustainable development of mineral resources and mine environment in the study area. The research results are summarized as follows: (1) The geoscience big data related to mineral resource prediction and evaluation of district include mining data such as 3D geological modeling, geophysics interpretation, geochemistry, and remote sensing modeling, which are combined with GeoCube3.0 software. The optimization of deep targets and comprehensive evaluation of mineral resources in Luanchuan district (500 km2, 2.5 km deep) have been realized, including 6.5 million tons of Mo, 1.5 million tons of W, and 5 million tons of Pb-Zn-Ag. (2) The 3D geological modeling of geology, mineral deposit, and exploration targeting is related to the mine environment. The data of exploration and mining in the pits of Nannihu – Sandaozhuang – Shangfang deposits and the deep channels of Luotuoshan and Xigou deposits show a poor spatial correlation between the NW-trending porphyryskarn deposits and the ore bodies. The NE-trending faults are usually tensional or tensional-torsional structures formed in the post-metallogenic period, which is the migration pathway of hydrothermal fluid of the related Pb-Zn deposit. There is a risk of groundwater pollution in the high-altitude Pb-Zn mining zones, such as the Lengshui and Bailugou deposits controlled by NE-trending faults are developed outside of porphyry-skarn types of Mo (W) deposits in the Luanchuan area. (3) Construction of mineral resources and environmental assessment and decision-making in intelligent digital mines: 3D geological model is established in large mines and associated with ancient mining caves, pit, and deep roadway engineering in the mining areas to realize reasonable orientation and sustainable development of mining industry. The hyperspectral database is used to construct three-dimensional useful and harmful element models to realize the association of exploration, mining, and mineral processing mineralogy for the recovery of harmful elements (As, Sb, Hg, etc.). 0.5 m resolution Worldview2 images are used to identify the distribution of Fe in the wastewater and slag slurry of important tailings reservoirs, so as to protect surface runoff and soil pollution.

Lands disturbed by open cuts and associated dumps often become unsuitable for further use as construction sites. Disturbed lands are technogenically altered soils with new changed physicomechanical and physicochemical properties. The paper examines the results of researching the disturbed lands of common mineral resources open cuts in Moscow region, provides a description of the causes and types of land disturbance, as well as examples of images of disturbed lands on satellite images. For this purposes, thematic and topographic maps and remote sensing materials - satellite images of the territory of the Moscow region were used. The problems of impact of common mineral resources extraction on the natural complexes in the region, the scale of technogenic transformation of the earth surface as a result of open cuts mining as well as the geoecological problems arising in this case are considered. Numerical geoecological assessment of sand quarries in Moscow region is also given.
