The way of orefinding refers to the technical point of view and the methods to be applied to mineral exploration, which can roughly be identified as empirical, genetic, technical, and information approaches. For empirical way, ore finding relies on the direct/indirect indicators of ore without much concern about their geneses. The genetic study tries to explain the underlying mechanisms of ore formation so that they can be applied to orefinding more universally. The technical approach focuses on technical devices applicable to orefinding. The information system integrates all available geological and mineralogical data with modern digital tolls so that a more comprehensive strategy for orefinding can be achieved. All the way above have played roles in mineral exploration, although problems from each category remain to be solved. No matter what way is being chosen for ore exploration, the following three issues should be clear in mind ,otherwise things may go to the opposite of one's wishes and cause major uncertainties and economic lose. Firstly, ore genetic research is highly tentative, and its conclusions should be valued objectively and applied properly. Secondly, mineral exploration is a series of practical activities aimed at finding ores that can be developed economically. Those geological studies necessary to mineral exploration should not be viewed the same as genetic research in ore deposits, and, in the meantime, some of the empirical knowledge summarized from practices should not be confused with oreforming theories. Thirdly, mineral exploration is such a complicated systematic practice that the way of orefinding must be changed based on situation and reality, for which an integrated information system is critical to evaluate the existing data, ideas, and technical requirements.
