当我们迈步跨入新世纪,我国有色金属工业可持续发展正面临来自矿山的严峻挑战。由于多年来资源的高强度消耗和矿山地质探矿投入的严重不足,多数矿山特别是作为有色金属工业支柱、为国家建设做出巨大贡献的国有矿山,因资源枯竭而陷入困境。在低产、低效、亏损中徘徊的国有矿山加快了关闭速度,已引起全国上下的高度关注。加强矿山地质探矿,努力延长矿山寿命,已成为迫在眉睫的战略任务。 As we move into the new century, the sustainable development of China’s non-ferrous metal industry is facing harsh challenges from mines. Due to the heavy consumption of resources over the years and the serious lack of investment in geological prospecting of mines, most mines, especially the non-ferrous metal industries, have made state-owned mines, which have made tremendous contributions to the nation’s construction, are in trouble due to the depletion of resources. State-owned mines, which are hovering in low-yield, inefficient and loss-making industries, have accelerated their closure and have drawn great attention all over the country. Strengthening mine geological exploration, and strive to extend mine life, has become an urgent strategic task.
