China News Service, Beijing, February 2 (Reporter Pang Wuji) On February 1, 2024, a symposium commemorating the 74th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong’s “Develop Mining” inscription was held in Beijing. Xu Dachun, member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. He said that my country's mining development has entered a new period of "four superpositions" of rising demand, policy adjustment, promotion of high-quality development and high-level protection, and a period of instability and uncertainty in the external environment.
Xu Dachun pointed out that it is necessary to accurately grasp the new requirements of mineral exploration and development in the new era, solidly promote a new round of strategic actions for mineral prospecting breakthroughs, actively practice the concept of green development, vigorously promote fine geological traditions, and continuously improve the level of independent guarantee of energy resource security.
The meeting pointed out that over the past 70 years, the number of minerals explored and developed by mining workers has increased from 18 to 173, raw coal production has increased from 32.43 million tons to 4.658 billion tons, crude oil production has increased from 120,000 tons to 208 million tons, and natural gas production has increased from 18 to 173. From 7 million cubic meters to 219.7 billion cubic meters, the output of iron ore increased from 590,000 tons to 990 million tons, and the output of ten non-ferrous metals increased from 47,700 tons to 74.698 million tons, making my country move from a weak mining country to a mining country. A big country has once again jumped into the ranks of mining powers.
At present, my country's mining development has changed from "waiting for rice to eat" in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to "self-sufficiency", from the "export exchange" of reform and opening up to "there is import and export", and then to "the import is greater than the export" in the 21st century. , "Two resources, two markets." my country's mining industry is steadily advancing towards the goal of high-quality development. More than 4,000 green mines at all levels have been built, and 1,000 and 1,300 intelligent mining and excavation working faces have been built. The pace of digitization and intelligence of mines is accelerating. Deep underground exploration, Deep-sea exploration continues to expand the exploration and development space of mineral resources. Strategic minerals provide strong support to emerging strategic industries. The clean, efficient, low-carbon utilization of coal and "coal-to-liquid" and "coal-to-gas" have greatly improved my country's energy structure and further Consolidating the cornerstone role of energy, green development has become the consensus of building a beautiful China in mineral resource exploration.
During the meeting, Jia Chunqu, Secretary of the Party Committee of China Coal Geology Administration and first political commissar of the National Mine Emergency Rescue Geological Survey Team, delivered a speech. Tang Juxing, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and researcher at the Institute of Mineral Resources of the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences; Meng Qi'an, chief technical expert of PetroChina Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd.; Wang Yongye, manager of the Mineral Resources and Industrial Information Research Center of Jinchuan Group Co., Ltd.; Vice President of the Hunan Provincial Institute of Geology Jiang Niansheng and other representatives made speeches on the theme of “doing our best to ensure the security of national energy resources”.
