Achieving green exploration is a challenge that all geological exploration units must face and also a mustdo for them. Shandong Gold Geology and Mineral Exploration Co. Ltd. is the first unit to explore and practice the way of green exploration in Shandong Province. First, the green exploration plan, system and standard of the company were made up. Then, in the preferred demonstration project for green exploration, standardized management was implemented for the drill rig with the optimal design of “multiholes at one position ” to minimize land occupation; the XY6B drill rig was improved for energy conservation; technical upgrading was performed for the material, structure and layout of the drilling fluid circulation system to strengthen waste management with the environmental geotextiles laid, and the sound proof walls constructed to prevent environmental pollution. The experiences accumulated are worthy of promotion and reference.
