陕北老区有着丰富的地质矿产资源,八十年代以来,先后发现并查明了神府煤田、靖边天然气田、子长油田,绥德盐田,府谷高岭土矿床、神木膨润土矿床等矿产资源。其矿床规模之大,矿产储存量之丰富,堪称中国之最,世界少见。同时,陕北还有较多的有待进一步开发的旅游地学资源。随着我国能源工业的战略西移,未来的陕北,在国民经济中将占有越来越重要的地位。 Since the 1980s, the old district of Northern Shaanxi has abundant geological and mineral resources. Since the 1980s, Shenfu Coalfield, Jingbian Gas Field, Zichang Oilfield, Suide Yantian, Fugu Kaolin Deposit and Shenmu Bentonite Deposit have been discovered and identified successively. Its large deposit size, rich mineral reserves, 堪称 China’s most rare in the world. At the same time, there are still more tourism and learning resources to be further developed in northern Shaanxi. With the strategic shift of energy industry in our country, the future of northern Shaanxi will occupy an increasingly important position in the national economy.
