矿产资源与其环境是一个自组织耗散结构系统，矿产资源的开发利用势必要引起系统熵增大。讨论了矿产资源开发利用的正、负价值问题，进一步建立了矿产资源开发利用系统价值模型，依此模型将矿产资源开发利用分为发展型、萎缩型及滞长型。 Mineral resources and its environment is a self-organizing dissipative structure system, the development and utilization of mineral resources is bound to cause increased system entropy. Discussed the positive and negative value of exploitation and utilization of mineral resources, and further established the system value model of exploitation and utilization of mineral resources. According to this model, the development and utilization of mineral resources can be divided into development type, shrinkage type and stagnation type.
