China News Service, Xining, July 25 (Reporter Zhang Tianfu) During the 21st "YFIT", a new concept, new achievement and new salt lake-Salt Lake Green Prospecting Technology Seminar was held in Xining from the 24th to the 25th. The reporter was informed that in China's "cornucopia" Qaidam Basin, in recent years, the results of the exploration of salt lake resources have been gratifying, achieving the prospecting goal of "recreating a Chaerhan" and opening up a second space for potassium in the Qaidam Basin.
According to a reporter from Chinanews.com, among the potential value of approximately one hundred billion yuan in mineral resources in Qinghai province, the potential total value of 11 salt lake minerals including sodium salt, mirabilite, lithium ore, potash, and magnesium salt account for the potential total value of mineral resources in the province 90% of them. The province’s salt lake mineral resources are mainly stored in the Haixi Mongolian-Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province in China’s "cornucopia" Qaidam Basin.
According to the person in charge of the Qaidam Comprehensive Geological and Mineral Exploration Institute of Qinghai Province, Qinghai Province has continuously strengthened the exploration and deployment of deep brine in the exploration of salt lake resources, and has made a breakthrough in prospecting for the first time in the Dalangtan-Heibei depression in the Qaidam Basin. The large-scale sandy gravel pore brine potash mines were subsequently realized in Chahan Slatu, Kunteyi, Mahai and other areas, and breakthroughs in sand gravel pore brine prospecting were realized, and the prospecting of "recreating a Chaerhan" was realized. The goal has opened up a second space for finding potassium in the Qaidam Basin.
It is reported that at the above-mentioned seminar, the participating experts discussed the green development of the Chaerhan Salt Lake resources and its technological progress, the research progress of the Lop Nur Salt Lake development, the new progress in the study of Triassic lithium and potassium resources in the Sichuan Basin, and the Cretaceous-Paleogene basins in South China Six topics were reported and exchanged on the cause of formation and exploration progress of potassium-lithium brine, and the revision progress of salt mineral exploration specifications.
The above-mentioned seminar was hosted by Qinghai Provincial Department of Natural Resources, Qinghai Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Exploration and Development, Sinochem General Administration of Geology and Mines, Qinghai Provincial Federation of Experts and Talents, Qinghai Qaidam Comprehensive Geological and Mineral Exploration Institute, and Sinochem General Administration of Geology and Mines. The Institute and the Key Laboratory of Qaidam Salt Lake Resource Exploration and Research in Qinghai Province. (Finish)
