Combination relationship of mineral resources in coal measures for comprehensive exploration

The comprehensive exploration and cooperative exploitation of mineral resources in coal measures are the social hot-topics and the front direction in coal field. Through the systematic collection of previous research results, field researching, and symposium discussing, considering the occurrence characteristics, mineral matter phase characteristics and the comprehensive exploration and evaluation of different kinds of coal minerals resources, three kinds of minerals combination types in coal measures were preliminarily divided on the basis of the common features of these resources from the perspective of comprehensive exploration, including coal and coal-based variant solid mineral combination, coal and coal-based consubstantial solid mineral combination, coal and unconventional gas combination, for the purpose of providing theoretical guidance for the formulation of comprehensive exploration engineering plan in coal measures.
