Abstract: Jiaodong Xiling Gold Mine is the largest single gold deposit discovered by Shandong Gold Geological and Mineral Exploration Co., Ltd., it has taken more than ten years from detailed investigation to the end of exploration. Shandong Gold Geological and Mineral Exploration Co., Ltd. has carried out a series of pioneering work during the exploration process, especially in the aspects of green exploration, deep drilling technology research and development, achievement transformation, digital collection of rock core physical data and so on, which can provide reference for solid mineral exploration work in China in the new era. During the exploration period, with the premise of green ecological development, the transformation from traditional geology to ecological geology is accelerated; based on the background of the big data era, promotes the digital, intelligent, and high-tech development of the industry, improves the Internet “geological cloud” platform, promotes exchanges of the industry, and achieves resource and achievement sharing. In the middle and later stages of exploration, in the face of the COVID-19, strengthens scientific management and control and improves the epidemic prevention system, realizes a harmonious win-win situation between safety and production, and accumulates management experience in dealing with disasters, epidemics and other emergencies in the process of discovering large and super large deposits. The successful exploration of Xiling Super Large Gold Mine is a comprehensive application of multiple advanced measures and technological innovations, highlighting the high-level development path of scientific and digital exploration
