战略新兴矿产调查工程进展与主要成果

随着我国经济社会发展和产业升级,钾盐、稀有金属、稀土金属、稀散金属、萤石、叶蜡石、脉石英、晶质石墨、硼等矿产在新一代信息技术、新能源汽车及高端装备制造等战略性新兴产业发展中发挥着越来越关键的作用,需求量也逐步攀升。 “战略新兴矿产调查工程”(2019—2021)以查明重要矿种的资源潜力、取得找矿突破、助推形成大型资源基地为目标,以矿调为手段,开展全国重点地区大型资源基地和重要矿集区锂、钾、铍、铌钽、萤石、脉石英等矿种成矿规律和找矿方法的创新研究,同时开展矿产资源的综合利用研究,取得了一批重大找矿成果,丰富了成矿理论,创新了找矿方法。概要介绍了该工程在川东北锂钾找矿、川西稀有稀土金属矿产调查、新疆阿尔金稀有金属矿产调查、江西赣南—福建浦城地区萤石、硼资源、东部地区脉石英、叶蜡石特种非金属矿产找矿等方面取得的新进展; 介绍了川东北、川西、阿尔金等主要成矿带稀有稀土矿产、萤石、脉石英等关键矿种成矿规律、勘查技术方法、绿色调查及综合利用等方面取得的成果,对进一步提高我国钾盐、锂矿、萤石、脉石英等战略性矿产资源保障程度和研究程度,促进新兴产业发展和我国战略性矿产后续调查评价具有重要意义。

Progresses and main achievements on strategic emerging minerals survey project

With the economic development and industrial upgrading in China, minerals such as potash, rare resources, rare earth resources, scattered metals, fluorite, pyrophyllite, gangue quartz, crystalline graphite, and boron are playing an increasingly critical role in the development of the seven kinds of strategic emerging industries, including the new generation of information technology, new energy vehicles and high-end equipment manufacturing. Besides, the demand of these mineral resources is also gradually increasing. The “Strategic Emerging Mineral Survey Project” (2019-2021) aims to achieve the identification of resource potential of important minerals, breakthroughs of prospecting and formation of the large-scale resource bases. Based on the mineral survey, the researchers in this project have carried out innovative research on the metallogenic laws and prospecting methods of lithium, potash, beryllium, niobium, tantalum, fluorite, vein quartz, and other minerals in large resource bases and important ore concentration areas in key areas of China. Besides, the comprehensive utilization of these mineral resources were also carried out and a number of major prospecting results were achieved, which enriching the metallogenic theory and innovating the prospecting methods. The new progress of the project is briefly introduced in the prospecting of lithium and potash in Northeastern Sichuan, the investigation of rare resources and rare earth resources in Western Sichuan, the investigation of rare resources in Altyn of Xinjiang, the survey of fluorite boron resources in southern Jiangxi and Pucheng area of Fujian, and the exploration of gangue quartz pyrophyllite special non-metallic mineral in Eastern China. The achievements were also introduced, including metallogenic regularity research, exploration technology and method, green investigation and comprehensive utilization of rare earth resources, fluorite, vein quartz and other key minerals in the main metallogenic belts such as Northeastern Sichuan, Western Sichuan and Altyn. It is of great significance to further improve the resource guarantee and research degree of strategic minerals such as potash, lithium ore, fluorite and vein quartz in China, and to promote the development of emerging industries and the follow-up investigation and evaluation of strategic minerals in China.
