On October 21 of CHINA MINING 2015, “Rainbow-3”, a medium-sized UVA geophysical comprehensive measuring system developed independently by China, made its international debut. This marked that, after a two-year trial trip and trial production, the system of the Rainbow-3 has formally entered into the civil field of geological investigation and mineral exploration and began to enter into the stage of commercial use.
The Rainbow-3 system is the first comprehensive measuring system of medium-sized UVA geophysics in the world which focus on geological investigation and mineral exploration development, integrate advanced aviation magnetic and radioactive measurement methods, and will be used in the fields of basic geological survey, metallic minerals and radioactive mineral exploration. Compared with traditional manned aerogeophysical survey system, the system has four major advantages of high safety coefficient, high measurement quality, high work efficiency and high degree of intelligence, which holds a leading position in the world.
Rainbow-3 system was co-developed by Geophysical and Geochemical Prospecting Institute ASTRI of CGS, China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics and Airborne Survey and Remote Sensing Center of Nuclear Industry organized by China Geological Survey of Land and Resources. After the work of our scientific research personals, we completed the practical upgrade transformation, method and technological development, experiment and demonstration, and mass production of the system. The stand-alone workload can reach more than 20,000 traverse kilometers per month with the average single traverse kilometers reaching 1,200, realizing its full-year and all-climate working, which reasonably avoided the conflict with the time of the civil aviation aircraft and achieved the improvement of production efficiency and work quality.
The annual CHINA MINING Congress and Expo is an important platform of Chinese and foreign mining areas to carry out pragmatic cooperation. The Congress covers some industrial chains in the fields of geological survey, exploration and development, technology and equipment and mining services, offers a great channel for the mutual cooperation of domestic and foreign mining companies in Chinese and international market, and creates opportunities to set up business network and expand business cooperation.
For a long time, aviation geophysical measuring equipment in China could not be applied in overseas, which has been restricted by transferring machine from abroad, equipment transportation, equipment maintenance and different countries’ site condition and task cost. Rainbow-3 system realized modular production and containerized traffic, and greatly improved the efficiency of equipment transport and maintenance. Rainbow-3’s public appearance is a perfect display of domestic UVA production’s achieving civil industrialization application stepping onto the international stage. It realized the leap transition from technological achievement to industrialized development and will promote domestic drones stepping onto the stage of the world’s geological survey.

About CHINA MINING
Since first held in 1999, the scope and influence of CHINA MINING has grown rapidly year by year. As a global mining summit forum and exhibition, CHINA MINING Congress and Expo has become one of the world’s top mining events, and one of the world’s largest mining exploration, development and trading platforms, covering all aspects of the whole mining industry chain, including geological survey, exploration and development, mining rights trading, mining investment and financing, smelting and processing, mining techniques and equipment, mining services, etc. playing an active promotion role in creating exchange opportunities and enhancing mutual cooperation between domestic and foreign mining enterprises.
CHINA MINING Congress and Expo 2015 will be held at Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center in Tianjin on October 20th-23rd, 2015. We invite you to join the event and to celebrate the 17th anniversary of CHINA MINING with us. For more information about CHINA MINING 2015, please visit: www.chinaminingtj.org.
