The reporter from 1 Moon 27 It was learned at the National Geological Survey Work Conference held in Beijing that, 2014 Year, the central government invested nearly in the fully equipped exploration area. 10 hundreds of millions of yuan, stimulating local and enterprise investment of nearly... 50 100 million yuan, 17 The integrated exploration area has made good progress, with a new batch of resources discovered for key minerals such as gold, copper, lead-zinc, manganese, and bauxite, paving the way for achieving... “358” The second-phase goals have laid the foundation.

　　The meeting revealed that the Duolong deposit in Tibet has newly discovered copper resources. 300 Ten thousand tons—the region’s prospective resource reserves are expected to exceed. 2000 Ten thousand tons; Newly discovered lead-zinc resources in Luziyuan, Yunnan Province 45 Ten thousand tons; the total resource volume is expected to reach 500 Tens of thousands of tons—providing a guarantee for the establishment of a new resource base. Exploration efforts for tin and manganese are steadily intensifying; a large-scale tin deposit has been newly discovered at Weilastuo in Inner Mongolia, with preliminary resource estimates already under control. 6 Ten thousand tons: Newly discovered manganese resources in Xixibao, Guizhou. 7000 Tens of thousands of tons have laid a solid foundation for achieving the tin-manganese exploration target. Significant breakthroughs at the Xiarihamu nickel deposit, the Huohuo Yun lead-zinc deposit in Xinjiang, and the Xiqinling gold deposit are facilitating the gradual establishment of new resource bases.

　　While new discoveries have been made in land-based energy and geological surveys, significant progress has also been achieved in the exploration of critical mineral resources. The nationwide geological survey has identified a total of geophysical and geochemical anomalies. 6300 Location: Discovery of mineral (or ore) occurrences 1000 Elsewhere, delineate mineral exploration target areas. 300 Other newly discovered mineral deposits 35 Specifically within the integrated exploration zones, the driving effect of public-interest geological work is evident, and some of these integrated exploration zones are in the process of becoming new resource bases for China.

　　Significant achievements have been made in surveys of bulk scarce minerals, emerging energy and materials minerals, as well as in exploration for new mineral deposits in the deep and peripheral areas of old mines. Basic geological surveys have supported important progress in the exploration of chromite deposits in the Luobusha region of Tibet, with the potential to develop a resource base of tens of millions of tons. Additionally, the Qaidam Basin in Qinghai Province has identified substantial prospective resources of potassium chloride. 1 Hundred million tons; Newly discovered lithium oxide resources around Jiamika in Sichuan. 64 Ten thousand tons—reaching a super-large scale—has laid the resource foundation for building the western Sichuan new-energy industry base. Discovered in Chengbu, Hunan. 18 A high-purity quartz vein with a content greater than 99% Newly discovered in Yichang, Hubei 2 In the crystalline graphite medium-sized mineral deposit area, nearly one million tons of prospective niobium mineralization zones have been discovered in Zhuxi, Hubei Province. Other notable deposits include the Qixia Mountain lead-zinc mine in Jiangsu Province, the Lala copper mine in Sichuan Province, and the Laowan gold mine in Henan Province. 14 A major mineral exploration breakthrough has been achieved in the mining area. 39 The mining area has achieved significant progress.
