Ministry of land: Twelve-Five will effectively reduce the external dependence of important mineral species

According to the Chinese voice of the "News and newspaper Digest," the Ministry of Land and Resources said that 35, China will carry out "national Geological Prospecting Action Plan" to effectively reduce the number of major important minerals of external dependence. The 12-year survey of land and resources shows that China's future prospecting prospects are very optimistic.　　China's potash forecast resources are at least twice to 3 times times the amount of resources identified, only in the old steel base in the north, is expected to add 5 billion tons of iron ore resources, in addition, China will form a number of tens of millions of tons of copper base, copper ore dependence on the situation is expected to change.　　Ministry of Land and Resources Deputy Minister Wang Min said that the Ministry of Land and Resources is brewing in 21 provinces in the country to carry out large-scale geological prospecting operations, plans to spend 5 years to invest 30 billion yuan, to ensure that "Twelve-Five" during the new batch of iron ore and other domestic scarce mineral reserves, the formation of dozens of large resources exploration and　　Wang Min: Highlighting uranium, iron, copper, aluminum, gold, lead and zinc and potash and other countries shortage of large mineral resources, in the country 19 important metallogenic belt, selected 45 key exploration areas, and strive to achieve a rapid geological prospecting breakthrough, and comprehensively enhance the capacity of resource protection. Regarding the change of the degree of dependence of some important mineral species in China during 35, Chen Renyi, director of China Geological Survey's Resources review department, made such a judgment: Chen Renyi: Copper should basically mean that 35 period control within 75% of such an external degree of dependence, iron ore our country can control to 50% within, Potash should be able to be around 60%.
