西北地质调查与战略性矿产找矿勘查

矿产资源是一个国家经济社会发展的基石，是工业化发展建设依赖的基础。战略性矿产的重大发现对服务国家战略和重大需求、保障国家矿产资源安全一直发挥着不可替代的关键作用。西北地区地质构造演化复杂，矿产资源丰富。笔者分3个时段分述地质调查找矿成果和服务国家需求的重大成效，全面总结西北地区重要成矿带成矿规律和资源潜力，提出未来战略性矿产找矿行动部署工作建议。这3个时段分别是1962年建所至20世纪90年代末、1999年至党的十八大、党的十八大以来。西北地质调查与矿产勘查工作全程聚焦经济社会发展，站在全面服务国家重大战略需求的角度，创新成矿理论认识和勘查技术方法，驱动地质调查与矿产勘查取得显著成果，为西北地区工业现代化建设和西部大开发国家战略、脱贫攻坚、丝绸之路经济带核心区建设及乡村振兴做出了重要贡献，全面引领服务和支撑生态文明建设和经济社会健康快速高质量发展。为保障国家未来的经济安全、国防安全和战略性新兴产业发展需求，西北矿产地质调查工作全面服从服务于《战略性矿产找矿行动纲要（2021~2035年）》，在铜、镍、钴、稀有金属等战略性矿产找矿突破方面作出新的贡献，全面提升西北地区战略性矿产资源保障国家需求与资源安全的能力和水平。

Geological Survey and Prospecting of Strategic Minerals in Northwest China

Mineral resources are the cornerstone of a country's economic and social development. The major discoveries of strategic minerals have played an irreplaceable key role in serving national strategies and ensuring the security of national mineral resources. In the future, mineral resources will continue to play a vital role in economic and social development in China. The geological structure in Northwest China with abundant mineral resources has a complicated geological evolution process. To comprehensively summarize the metallogenic regularities and resource potentials of important metallogenic belts in Northwest China, this article divides the major achievements of geological surveys in Northwest China into three periods. These three periods are from the establishment of the Northwest Geological Survey in 1962 to the end of the 1990s, from 1999 to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, respectively. The geological survey and mineral exploration work in Northwest China focused on economic and social development throughout the entire process, served the country's major strategic needs, innovated the understanding of mineralization theory, explored techniques and methods, and driven the remarkable results of geological survey and mineral exploration. It contributed to the modernization of Northwest China's industry, the development of the western region, the national strategy for poverty alleviation, the construction of the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, and the revitalization of the countryside. It comprehensively leads services and supports the construction of ecological civilization and the rapid and high-quality development of economic and social health. To ensure the national economic security, national defense security, and the development of strategic emerging industries, the Northwest Geological Survey is fully obeyed and served in the "Strategic Mineral Prospecting Action Program (2021-2035)", which covers copper, nickel, cobalt, and rare metals, to make new contributions to breakthroughs in prospecting for strategic minerals, to comprehensively improve the ability and level of strategic mineral resources in the northwestern region, and to ensure national demand and resource security.
