Abstract: At present, the supply and demand situation of mineral resources in China is tightening and the depth and difficulty of mineral exploration and mining are constantly increasing. In the current new situation of geological prospecting, the application of geological theoretical achievements to guide exploration practice and accelerate the integration of geological exploration and production with scientific research, reflects the important supporting role of geological research in serving exploration. It is a powerful measure to enhance geological exploration research capabilities, promote geological technology innovation, and cultivate inter-disciplinary talents in geology and scientific research. From the perspective of geological technology management, taking the project of Central Geological Exploration Fund Management Center as an example, analyses that “integration of production and research” is the success model to deeply integrate geological exploration and production with scientific research. Introduces its functions in practice, characteristic and typical cases; discusses its problems, such as the insufficient investment in scientific research funds and weak awareness of scientific and technological innovation disconnection between exploration and scientific research, the emphasis on exploration over scientific research, and lack of inter-disciplinary talents. Addressing these problems, proposes following innovative measures and suggestions for technology management: increase scientific research investment in geological exploration projects and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements; building an integrated operational mechanism for production, education and research; improving the geological exploration and scientific research index evaluation system; cultivating inter-disciplinary talents in geology and scientific research.
