A Systemic Approach Integrating Genetic, Mining and Management Visions: The Geologic and Mining Knowledge System
- 1 Natural Resources and Environment Laboratory, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, Polydisciplinary Faculty of Taza, Taza, Morocco
Abstract
Following the example of other industrial activities, mining evaluation is now exposed to socio-economical and technological constraints which are unstable in quick evolution. The keys to its success are increasingly related to a methodology of work more scientific than ever. The Systemic Approach has broadly showed its effectiveness in numerous disciplinary fields, both scientific and engineering ones: Biology, Economy, Social and Management Sciences, Quality Management, Information Systems … Helped by technological progress, this approach has especially excelled in the management of spatial information (e.g. GIS ). It constitutes therefore an excellent solution to the problems of mining evaluation by the integration of genetic, mining and managerial data within an Information System , thus optimizing scientific and economic valuation of mineral resources.
