Metallurgical mining industry optimization Industrial structure service "Cornerstone Plan"

At present, the Ministry of Natural Resources has started and fully implemented a new round of prospecting breakthrough strategic action, focusing on the investigation of scarce and large-scale strategic mineral resources, strengthening the coordination of the central and local mining work deployment, and comprehensively carrying out the investigation of strategic mineral resources. At the same time, we will intensify scientific and technological research, improve the regular investigation and evaluation system for the development and utilization of mineral resources, and raise the level of economical and intensive utilization.

It is particularly noteworthy that the "Implementation Plan for carbon peak in metallurgical mining Industry" is also proposed in the key tasks to optimize the industrial structure. Build a large iron ore base and optimize the overall layout. We will accelerate the construction of 25 iron ore resource bases and the exploration and development of 28 national planned mining areas, and build a supply pattern dominated by large and medium-sized mines. The "Plan" proposes to optimize the development and utilization structure of iron ore resources on the basis of the "cornerstone plan", and accelerate the process of large-scale, intensive and green development. Cultivate large and super-large mining groups, improve the ability to ensure the supply of resources, and ensure the safety of the steel industry chain and supply chain.

It is understood that in the next step, the metallurgical mining industry will continue to deeply focus on the fundamental task of comprehensively improving the ability to guarantee resources, implement the two major development goals of effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity, strive to enhance the ability to integrate innovation, collaborative management, and market competitiveness, and strive to solve the four major pain points of industry development such as resource constraints, environmental constraints, policy constraints, and cost constraints. Strive to build an innovative, green, safe, digital and energy efficient mine, in order to provide industry support for building a solid steel industry chain supply chain resource security foundation.
