On Nov.3rd, The Progress and Achievements in Geological Survey forum of CHINA MINING 2013 was held. The journalist learned from the forum that China would continue to strengthen geological survey in important metallogenic area. A batch of newly-found mineral occurrences and prospecting clues pointed out the direction for prospecting.
China had completed 1:50000 regional geological survey with an area of 210,000 square kilometers (accumulatively completed 630,000 square kilometers in 3 years), which had improved work in metallogenic area by 17%. More than 590 mineral occurrences had been newly found and regional geological features and prospecting background had been ascertained by regional geological survey; 4126 geophysical anomalies had been discovered, 218 geophysical anomalies had been verified, ore had been found in 42 geophysical anomalies; 309 geochemical anomalies had been zoned, 56 geochemical anomalies had been verified and ore had been found in dozens of geochemical anomalies. Besides, China had carried out 21 fundamental geology comprehensive studies in the important metallogenic belts, creatively worked out metallogenic geological background map which could provide detailed and intuitional geological background information. China also obtained new ideas in the research of big regional fundamental geological problems, which pointed the way for future prospecting.
Xiao Guiyi, Deputy Director of Foundation Department of China Geological Survey, introduced that exciting discoveries of prospecting in many areas resulted from regional geological survey. 63 mineral occurrences had been discovered around metallogenic belt of Qaidam Basin; 38 mineral occurrences had been discovered in metallogenic belt of Kunlun-Altun Mountain. Prospecting of copper multi metal and iron ore had made great progress; More than 20 mineral occurrences had been discovered in metallogenic belt of Tianshan Mountain; 64 mineral occurrences had been found in the north of metallogenic belt of Great Khingan. China Geological Survey will continue to stress metallogenic belt and strengthen regional geological survey in scale of 1:50000 and 1:250000. (Wang Shaoyong) (Translated by TLRHVC)
About CHINA MINING
As a global mining summit forum and exhibition, CHINA MINING Congress and Expo has Since first held in 1999, the scope and influence of CHINA MINING has grown rapidly year by year. become one of the world’s top mining events, and one of the world’s largest mining exploration, development and trading platforms, covering all aspects of the whole mining industry chain, including geological survey, exploration and development, mining rights trading, mining investment and financing, smelting and processing, mining techniques and equipment, mining services, etc. playing an active promotion role in creating exchange opportunities and enhancing mutual cooperation between domestic and foreign mining enterprises.
CHINA MINING Congress and Expo 2013 were held at Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center in Tianjin on November 2-5, 2013. We invite you to join the event and to celebrate the 15th anniversary of CHINA MINING with us. For more information about CHINA MINING 2013, please visit: m.balanzskin.com.
