青海省镍矿资源开发利用现状浅析

世界上镍工业资源主要为红土型、硫化镍及海底含镍锰结核3种,我国镍资源储量占全球第九,主要以硫化镍矿为主,而西部地区,尤其是西北地区是我国最主要硫化镍矿产资源地.近年来,随着青海省夏日哈木超大型铜镍硫化物矿床的发现,青海省加大了硫化镍矿资源的找寻力度,发现了一批成矿潜力较大的矿床(点),省内铜镍资源有望进一步得到拓展.本文通过分析青海省内镍矿资源分布、勘探开发及目前全球镍资源供需变化等,为我国镍矿业的投资、开发、管理提供参考依据.

ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT EXPLORATION AND UTILIZATION SITUATION OF NICKEL RESOURCES IN QINGHAI PROVINCE

The world's nickel resources occur in three types:lateritic nickel, nickel sulfide and nickel-manganese nodules on the ocean floor. The nickel reserve of China, dominated by nickel sulfide type, comes ninth in the world. The northwest region of China is the main production place for nickel sulfide resources. In recent years, with the discovery of the Xiarihamu super-large Cu-Ni sulfide deposit and other deposits/occurrences with great metallogenic potential in Qinghai Province, the subsequent Cu-Ni resources development within the province will be hopefully realized. The analysis on nickel resources distribution, exploration and development in Qinghai and the global nickel supply-demand changes would provide reference for the country's nickel investment, exploitation and management.
