According to recently released first-quarter statistical data on land and resources from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the mineral rights market continued the sluggish trend seen last year. In the first quarter, a total of exploration rights were granted nationwide. 139 One, down year-on-year 18.8% ; Transfer price 1.27 100 million yuan, down year-on-year 65.9% Transfer of mining rights 246 One, down year-on-year 32.8% ; Transfer price 11.52 100 million yuan, down year-on-year 5.8% 。

　　Relevant officials from the Department of Regulation and Monitoring of the Ministry of Natural Resources analyzed that supply-side structural reform is driving continued adjustments in the mineral rights market, and overall overcapacity in resource products is contributing to the sluggishness of the mineral rights market. Looking at fixed-asset investment, in the first quarter, investment in the mining industry... 1178 100 million yuan, down year-on-year 18.1% It is the only industry among industrial investments to have experienced negative growth. Mining enterprises above a designated size nationwide are reporting losses. 54.1 100 million yuan—the only industry in the industrial sector reporting a loss, compared to a profit during the same period last year. 633.5 Hundred million yuan. Although prices of major mineral products rebounded in the first quarter, the mining industry as a whole remains in a period of deep adjustment, influenced by multiple factors including slow global economic growth, weak market demand, and overall overcapacity in mineral production. The continued decline in nationwide exploration investment also reflects a clear lack of investment confidence among enterprises. 2015 According to the "China Land and Resources Bulletin," 2015 Annual national geological exploration investment is approximately... 900 100 million yuan, down approximately ... from the previous year. 20% It has been declining steadily for three consecutive years.

　　The official stated that resolving overcapacity will be the primary task for the coming period. 3 In the month, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Land issued the “Opinions on Supporting the Steel and Coal Industries in Resolving Overcapacity and Achieving Recovery and Development,” clearly stipulating... 3 This year, the approval process for delineating coal mining area boundaries will be halted. Applications for establishing new coal mining rights or for expanding production scales without prior approval will no longer be accepted. For industries with severe overcapacity that have not been approved and filed in accordance with national regulations, no land-use plans for new projects will be allocated, and no procedures for converting agricultural land, land expropriation reviews, or land supply formalities will be processed. Moreover, despite overall resource overcapacity, demand for certain new energy and new material products continues to grow relatively rapidly. Driven by the rapid development of the new-energy vehicle industry, demand for lithium concentrate has surged significantly, and lithium hydroxide production capacity has expanded rapidly. Meanwhile, demand for new materials such as graphene, fluorinated salts, and titanium dioxide remains robust.

　　The data released this time also show that a total of geological disasters occurred nationwide in the first quarter. 304 Start, cause 43 Death of a person, 10 Injury to people, direct economic loss 8606.1 Ten thousand yuan. The number of geological disasters increased year-on-year. 1.3 The number of deaths and missing persons, as well as direct economic losses, have both increased, rising by [specific percentage or amount]. 2 Double and 1.7 Twice as many. A total of geohazards have been successfully forecast nationwide. 15 Start, and avoid casualties. 358 People, avoid direct economic losses. 408 Ten thousand yuan.
