Abstract

In mineral exploration, the exploration-discovery-mining (EDM) cycle may take 10–13 years. New and innovative approaches that can shorten the EDM cycle are fundamental to boosting the supply of mineral resources in the global market. In this paper, we propose a methodology for accelerating the EDM cycle by enabling confidentiality-preserving minerals data sharing, potentially shortening the exploration and discovery parts of the cycle. However, it is a highly challenging problem due to the need to balance diverse aspects related to the loss of confidential information and protecting competitive advantage. We investigate how data confidentiality risk assessment and data obfuscation technologies can be brought together to enable the sharing of otherwise sensitive data. We have defined several metrics to quantify the data confidentiality loss and utility gain in sharing data and developed various methods to obfuscate data by suppressing or sampling values. The confidentiality loss and utility loss caused by different obfuscation methods have been studied and empirically validated using a real-life mineral dataset provided by an Australian minerals company. Our proposed methods will enable mining and exploration companies to make informed decisions on what and how much information could be shared to achieve mutual benefits in mineral exploration at an acceptable cost of data confidentiality loss.

矿产勘探和采矿权属的可信数据共享
在矿产勘探中,勘探-发现-开采(EDM)周期可能需要 10-13 年。能够缩短 EDM 周期的创新方法是促进全球市场矿产资源供应的基础。在本文中,我们提出了一种通过实现保密矿物数据共享来加快 EDM 周期的方法,从而有可能缩短周期中的勘探和发现部分。然而,这是一个极具挑战性的问题,因为需要平衡与机密信息丢失和保护竞争优势相关的多个方面。我们研究了如何将数据保密性风险评估和数据混淆技术结合起来,以实现敏感数据的共享。我们定义了多个指标来量化数据共享中的数据保密性损失和效用增益,并开发了多种方法,通过抑制或采样值来混淆数据。我们使用澳大利亚一家矿产公司提供的真实矿产数据集,对不同混淆方法造成的保密性损失和效用损失进行了研究和经验验证。我们提出的方法将使采矿和勘探公司能够做出明智的决定,确定可以共享哪些信息以及共享多少信息,从而以可接受的数据保密性损失为代价,在矿产勘探中实现互惠互利。

期刊介绍: Journal of Geochemical Exploration is mostly dedicated to publication of original studies in exploration and environmental geochemistry and related topics. Contributions considered of prevalent interest for the journal include researches based on the application of innovative methods to: define the genesis and the evolution of mineral deposits including transfer of elements in large-scale mineralized areas. analyze complex systems at the boundaries between bio-geochemistry, metal transport and mineral accumulation. evaluate effects of historical mining activities on the surface environment. trace pollutant sources and define their fate and transport models in the near-surface and surface environments involving solid, fluid and aerial matrices. assess and quantify natural and technogenic radioactivity in the environment. determine geochemical anomalies and set baseline reference values using compositional data analysis, multivariate statistics and geo-spatial analysis. assess the impacts of anthropogenic contamination on ecosystems and human health at local and regional scale to prioritize and classify risks through deterministic and stochastic approaches. Papers dedicated to the presentation of newly developed methods in analytical geochemistry to be applied in the field or in laboratory are also within the topics of interest for the journal.
