一、我国铁矿资源丰而不富,铁矿石供不应求,需要长期进口富铁矿建国40多年,进行了大量的铁矿地质勘查工作,基本探明了我国的铁矿资源。截至1991年底,共勘查了1898个铁矿区,保有铁矿石储量500.7亿吨,其中工业储量244.9亿吨,铁矿石的平均品位33%。我国铁矿资源的可利用程度较低。已利用矿区536处,占有储量166.9亿吨,可供规划利用矿区126处,占有储量129.8亿吨,两者合计占总储量的59%。按矿区可建规模统计,已探明的可利用矿区的建设能力可达3亿吨/年,其中已建矿区生产能力为1.7亿吨/年。由于90%以上为贫杂矿,需要建设资金多和成本高等因素,预计到2000年我国仅能年产2.3～2.5亿吨矿石。 First, China’s abundant and not rich iron ore resources, demand for iron ore in short supply, the need for long-term imports of rich iron ore founding more than 40 years, conducted a large number of iron ore geological exploration work, basically proved that China’s iron ore resources. As of the end of 1991, a total of 1898 iron ore mines were explored, keeping iron ore reserves of 50.07 billion tons, of which industrial reserves stood at 24.49 billion tons and iron ore averaged 33%. China’s iron ore resources are available to a lesser extent. Has taken advantage of 536 mining areas, possession of 16.69 billion tons of reserves for planning and utilization of 126 mining areas, reserves of 12.98 billion tons, both together accounted for 59% of the total reserves. According to the statistics of the scale of the mining area, the proven mining area has a capacity of 300 million tons / year, of which 170 million tons have been built. As more than 90% are lean mines, it needs more funds for construction and higher cost. It is estimated that in 2000 China will only produce 230-250 million tons of ore annually.
