Over the past 15 years, China's rapid growth in demand for energy resources. The domestic mineral resources consumption maintains two digit growth, petroleum, iron, copper, aluminum, potassium and other bulk mineral imports soared, the high degree of dependence on foreign oil, respectively: 54.8%, 53.6%, 52.9% iron ore refining aluminum, copper, potassium 52.4% 69% refining. China has become the world's coal, iron and steel, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc and other bulk cement, mineral consuming country, oil consumption ranks second in the world.
The next 10 to 20 years, it is our country industrialization, urbanization, agricultural modernization and important period, the mineral resources demand a rigid ascendant posture, shortage of resources to the economic development of our country will further enhance the constraint. According to the 45 kinds of main mineral products reserves guarantee degree analysis to predict, to 2020, 25 kinds of mineral products will appear in varying degrees of shortage, 11 of which the national economy the pillar of mineral. According to the identified resource reserves and forecast demand analysis, China's oil, copper, aluminum, iron, potassium and other bulk minerals foreign degree of dependency will still be in perch.
In recent years, with the rapid rise of emerging economies, economic interest game between countries, global mineral resources competitive aggravate, overseas mineral resource utilization cost rise, the difficulty and risk increase. China as the largest consumer of resources, resource supply on the foreign market, it is neither practical nor possible, even if our country the sources of energy and mineral resources in the important staple heteronomy, will seriously affect the social and economic development of our country security. Therefore, must be based on domestic, to strengthen energy and prospecting of important mineral resources, improving energy resource to ensure ability.
A number of mineral resource exploration and development base to succeed
" Eleven five" period of 12 years, the implementation of land and resources survey in the newly discovered mineral deposits of more than 900, including 432 large and medium-sized mineral, uranium, iron, copper, aluminum, potassium and other important mineral add a number of resources, new found that China's largest reserves amounted to tens of millions of tons of Tibet flooding dragon copper mine, reserves of 30 tons of Liaoning large iron Taiwan, the initial formation of a number of national mineral resources exploration and development to replace base. Especially the" eleven five" since, our country geological exploration into a new peak, add a large number of resources and reserves.
" Eleven five" period, oil, natural gas geological reserves to grow steadily, for 5 consecutive years of proven oil geological reserves of more than 10 tons, 57.6 tons of total reserves, a" fifteen" a net increase of 13.1 tons, grow 29.4%. Coal, iron, copper, bauxite, zinc, molybdenum, gold and other important mineral exploration by new batch has a significant impact on the large scale mineral, western key mining geological prospecting made important progress, in the eastern part of the old mine deep and peripheral prospecting results highlight.
The eastern half of petroleum resource has not yet been proven
The State Council recently passed the" prospecting breakthrough strategy action plan ( 2011 - 2020 )". " Compendium" put forward to carry out prospecting breakthrough strategy. Our country is located in the Pacific Rim, the ancient Asian Tethyan metallogenic domain and three interchanges, favorable ore-forming conditions. National mineral resource potential evaluation show that, our country has great potential for prospecting of important mineral.
Oil and gas resources have great potential. According to the 2010 oil gas resource dynamic evaluation results, our country petroleum geological resources 881 tons, natural gas geological resources 52 trillion cubic meters, coal-bed gas geological resources 36.8 trillion cubic meters. By the end of 2010, accumulative total to identify oil geological reserves of 312.8 tons, accumulative total proved reserves rate 35.5%; identification of natural gas geological reserves 9.3 trillion stere, accumulative total proved reserves rate 17.9%; identification of coal-bed gas geological reserves of 273400000000 cubic meters, only 0.74% of proved reserves. Scientific predictions that the eastern half, has not yet been proven oil resources in western area, and 3 / 4 petroleum resources to be found.
The sources of energy such as coal, uranium mineral resources prospect is considerable. According to the analysis of the results of prediction and evaluation of coal resources, the coal to be identified resources reserves of 3.95 trillion tons, by the end of 2010 resources to identify the rate of 25.9%. The western region geological work degree is low, resource conditions, coal looking prospect greatly.
At present, our country's important mineral resources overall identify magnitudes of about 1 / 4 - 1 / 3. Iron, copper, aluminum, gold, salt and predict the amount of resources is to identify resources quantity of 2 - 3 times. The country has been found in the hundreds of thousands of geophysical and geochemical anomalies in the 2 / 3 not after two above the level of verification, the potential for prospecting. Western important mining of mineral exploration work has just started, there is a great potential for prospecting. Our previous exploration depth overall in 500 meters deep to shallow, there is a great potential, to attack deep deposit. Support more than 80% of the capacity of the 1010 large and medium-sized mines are mainly distributed in the East, mine resource potential survey, full of old mine of mining resource potential, can add a number of recoverable reserves and quickly transformed into productivity.
