EQUIPMENT AND COMPLETION OF GEOLOGICAL WORKS
§ 2
Breakdown of geological work on stages
(1) Geological work is carried out in stages. The stage of geological work is defined by the section of the implementation of the geological plan corresponding to its effective breakdown according to the principle of gradual recognition; is expressed by a geological task.
(2) The purpose of the division of geological work into stages is to rationally organise the cognitive process, gradually acquire sets of knowledge available in planning and decision making and reduce the risk of the surveyed geological intention. If the classification of the cognitive process is not effective from these points of view, geological work may be carried out without the division into stages or stages.
(3) The objective of the geological work of the stage is expressed in the project of the geological work. However, the results of the geological work carried out under their project may exceed the objective of the stage due to more favourable geological conditions, the technological properties of bearing minerals and, where appropriate, economic conditions.
(4) If the implementation of the next stage is conditional on the resolution of a specific question, such as the possibility of drainage of the mineral deposit, the solution of the treatment and processing technology, the possibility and manner of discharge and disposal of mineralised and thermal waters, the solution of which is beyond the set of geological works of the stage, this particular question is already being addressed at this stage.
(5) Geological work may be carried out in sections (phases) if this reduces the risk of work and contributes to further guidance. The breakdown of geological work on sections (phases) should be defined and justified in the project of geological work on the relevant stage.
§ 3
Geological research
(1) Geological research includes a set of geological works which:
(a) examine the creation and operation of geological processes which make the geological construction of the territory conditional on the creation and transformation of its constituents (minerals, rocks);

(c) resolve the tasks of specifying knowledge of the laws and elements of the geological construction of the territory under consideration, identifying and quantifying the forecasting sources of minerals and groundwater and protecting them, evaluating rock structures in terms of suitability for underground storage of gases, liquids and waste, and assessing the geometrical characteristics of the territory and geological factors affecting the environment.

(2) In the implementation and evaluation of geological work, the identified geological facts necessary to address the geological task and the lithological, petrological, mineralogical, stratigraphic and tectonic findings relevant to the geological construction of the area under examination or from a scientific point of view shall be documented and evaluated. At the necessary stage, the identified occurrences of mineral deposits and groundwater sources must be assessed, even if their search and survey were not the object of geological work. If geological work is intended to seek out and explore mineral deposits, it should be evaluated in addition to the observed use of the observed mineral and other possibilities of its economical use and supported by test results.
(3) If scientific or economic knowledge exceeding the objective of the geological work pursued by the project is found when carrying out geological work, and such knowledge requires more detailed verification, the solving organisation shall notify the contracting authority of the geological work and the Czech Geological Office.
