Abstract
The problem of rational use of natural resources in prospecting, mining and processing of minerals is considered as a task of improving the efficiency of environmental management at all its stages: from prospecting and evaluation of deposits to the write-off of reserves during their development. The prospecting and appraisal stage in this scheme seems to be the most important due to the significant geological and economic risks involved in such works. The implementation of a rational approach to environmental management in the conditions of market relations is based on the strategy of cost optimization for prospecting and appraisal geological and exploration works, which is impossible without the use of modern information technologies.
