Abstract: Solid mineral exploration provides resource guarantee for national economic construction and social development. Traditional solid mineral exploration often uses such prospecting projects as trenches, shallow wells, tunnels,and boreholes, which have a greater negative impact on the ecological environment. To discuss in depth the role of solid mineral green exploration in energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental protection, and harmonious exploration, this article introduced in details the ecological environment and resources of the demonstration area and compared the impact of traditional solid mineral exploration and green exploration on the environment,taking as an example of Xinmin bauxite mine green exploration demonstration, which is in Daozhen County, Guizhou Province. Results show that energy consumption and pollutant emissions can be reduced through scientific engineering layout, adjustment of exploration equipment that has a greater impact on the ecological environment, and the use of advanced exploration techniques. Meanwhile the damage to the ecological environment caused by geological exploration activities can also be greatly reduced.The disturbance to the environment can be reduced and the groundwater environment can also be protected by reasonable layout and construction of drilling site, the application of environmental protection washing liquid and the scientific and standard closure of drilling hole.Through environmental restoration and governance, the damaged ecological environment can be restored so that geological exploration and ecological environment protection develop harmoniously.The implementation of green exploration increases local income, promotes poverty alleviation strategies, and builds a harmonious geological survey environment. In summary, the green exploration of solid minerals is of great benefit in energy saving and emission reduction. It can reduce the disturbance to the ecological environment, can restore the ecological environment to the greatest extent, and can also build a harmonious and win-win geological exploration environment.
