Abstract

The increasing importance of addressing the climate crises through carbon neutrality is accelerating the transition to cleaner energy, such as in the case of electricity. This has led to a surge in demand for critical minerals, such as battery materials, that are essential for electrification, and rare earth elements (REE) that are essential for high-tech industries. Therefore, securing a stable supply chain of critical minerals is essential for a country's sustainable development. To build a foundation and database for exploration of critical minerals that do not have established ore genesis models and specialized exploration technologies yet, KIGAM has developed a mineral resources data platform that can increase exploration efficiency and share exploration data anywhere in the world, and its features are introduced here.

탄소 중립을 통한 기후 위기 대응의 중요성이 높아짐에 따라 전기와 같은 친환경 에너지로의 전환이 빨라지고 있다. 이로 인해 전기화에 필수적인 배터리 원료와 첨단 산업에 필수적인 희토류와 같은 핵심광물에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있다. 따라서 핵심광물 공급망의 안정적 확보는 국가의 지속 가능한 발전에 있어 매우 중요하다. 이에 한국지질자원연구원은 아직 광상 성인 및 이에 특화된 탐사기술이 확립되지 않은 핵심광물 탐사의 기반 및 DB 구축을 위해 탐사 효율을 높이고 전 세계 어디에서도 탐사 자료를 공유할 수 있는 광물자원 데이터 플랫폼을 개발하였으며 본 논문에 그 내용을 소개하였다.
