The 5th Non-ferrous Geological Prospecting Achievement Award was released

From May 21 to May 22, the Fifth China Non-ferrous Metal Geological Prospecting Outcome Award Review Meeting was held in Yanjiao, Hebei Province. After review by experts, 60 ore-finding achievements have won the first, second and third prizes of the Fifth China Non-ferrous Metals Geological Prospecting Achievement Award (the list of winners will be publicized in this newspaper in the near future). Among them, nine projects such as the tin mine investigation in the Jiufeng mining area in Huanjiang County of Guangxi Province won the first prize, 38 projects in the multi-metal mineral deposit survey in the colorful districts of the Qingduo County in Qinghai Province won the second prize, and Xuyangtun in Antu County, Jilin Province. 13 projects such as gold mine investigations won the third prize.

It is understood that the China Non-ferrous Metals Geological Prospecting Achievement Award is the only Chinese geological exploration system that is based on the ore-producing results as the main judging basis. It is sponsored by China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association and organized by the Geology and Minerals Branch. It is reviewed every two years and awards are awarded. The scope of the project is for metal mineral prospecting and exploration projects carried out by the national geological exploration units, mining companies and mining companies. The achievement award review strictly implements the principles of “reserve heroes by reserves”, the difficulty of ore prospecting, and whether or not innovation has been achieved in geological ore-mining ore prospecting theory and the comprehensive application of technical methods. The resources/reserves submitted by the results must pass the 333 or more levels verified and verified by the national or provincial-level reserves management department and the China Geological Survey Bureau and their respective regional management agencies, crisis mines offices, etc., and they must be medium-sized or near-medium scale, and must Economic and social benefits are significant.

The winning projects of this year's China Non-ferrous Metals Geological Prospecting Achievement Award show three prominent features of China's geological exploration field in the past two years. First, in the global mining situation is low and survey investment has fallen sharply, the ore-prospecting has become a reality. Prospecting for breakthroughs is the most effective way. Out of the 60 winning ore-seeking achievements, the vast majority of the results are for the prospecting of the old mines in the deep-rooted area, the prospecting and storage of the known mining areas, or the prospecting of the surrounding areas, and the ore-producing areas that have been expanded in size to find ore deposits. Mining helpers realized the goal of small expanses; second, the minerals they sought were more prominent in market demand; the proportion of copper, lead, zinc, gold, bauxite, and tin, which were in short supply in the market, increased significantly, changing the former The proportion of several molybdenum ore prospecting achievements was too high. Third, the comprehensive exploration concept was further implemented. The award-winning achievements generally evaluated the co-produced elements of the mining area and submitted the resource amount, which is required for the development of new and high technologies. And other "three thin" minerals pay more attention.

Ren Rongrong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, participated in this year's ore-seeking achievement awards appraisal and comparison activity and believed that this is a good situation for encouraging geologists to take root in the prospecting line and promote the technical progress of young geologists. Especially in the case of a weak mining situation, it can play a role in boosting morale, enhancing confidence, and strengthening belief in the industry.
