Geological Survey Program Project Undertaken by the Zhengzhou Institute for Comprehensive Utilization of Mineral Resources, China Geological Survey “ National Mineral Resources ‘ Three Rates ’ and development level survey ” in the 5 A work project “ Key mining areas ‘ Three Rates ’ Field Investigation and Experimental Verification ”、 “ Research on Technical Requirements for the Comprehensive Utilization of Gold, Copper, Aluminum, Iron, and Manganese Ores ”、 “ Research on Comprehensive Utilization Policies for Mineral Resources and Analysis of Typical Mine Cases ”、 “ Black metal mine ‘ Three Rates ' Comprehensive Field Survey and Evaluation ” and “ Important Mineral Resources of Qinghai Province ‘ Three Rates ’ Investigation and Evaluation ” Recently, the project successfully passed the expert review organized by the North China Project Office of the China Geological Survey. Thus, after a period of time spent by all members of the project team... 3 Years of hard work and effort, national mineral resources “ Three Rates ” The survey project on development levels has been fully completed and accepted, successfully fulfilling the task one year ahead of schedule.

　　National Mineral Resources “ Three Rates ” The overall objective of the development level survey project is to conduct a nationwide survey of key mines. “ Three Rates ” Conduct comprehensive surveys and assessments, build a national database for the comprehensive survey and assessment of the “three rates” in key mines across the country, carry out research and development as well as promotion and application of integrated utilization technologies, and strengthen the scientific, standardized, and institutionalized approach to integrated resource utilization. This will provide foundational data and technical support for the scientifically sound formulation of mineral resource strategies and plans that are tailored to China’s national conditions, public sentiments, and mining realities.

　　3 Over the past years, this project has been carried out nationwide, covering the sectors of coal, oil and gas, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, chemicals, and non-metallic minerals. 22 of a mineral species “ Three Rates ” The current situation survey has basically clarified the exploration and utilization of China’s major mineral resources. “ Three Rates ” Current situation, research has been prepared. “ Three Rates ” Industry standards, and based on the location coordinates of mining enterprises, a nationwide map has been drawn. 22 Map showing the distribution of operating mines and mineral deposits; designed and established a nationwide network of key mines. “ Three Rates ” Investigation and Evaluation Database, developed and constructed key national mines. “ Three Rates ” Integrated Survey and Evaluation Information System, the National Special Database for the Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of Mineral Resources, and the Information Analysis System; a comparative analysis of domestic and international conditions regarding mineral exploration, development, and utilization, as well as related factors. “ Three Rates ” Indicators that comprehensively analyze various types of minerals. “ Three Rates ” The influencing factors were examined, and the study explored the major achievements and existing problems in China’s mineral resource exploration and development, while also putting forward relevant recommendations.

　　National Mineral Resources “ Three Rates ” The survey on the level of development and utilization represents the first comprehensive and systematic assessment of China’s efforts to conserve and make integrated use of its important mineral resources since the founding of New China. It is part of the implementation of the national... “ The 12th Five-Year Plan ” An important initiative for planning and building a harmonious society that is resource-efficient and environmentally friendly—a proposal put forward by the Ministry of Natural Resources. “ Assess the situation, establish standards, promote technology, and ensure implementation. ” The comprehensive utilization initiatives provide strong technical support.
