在党的改革开放总方针的指导下,“六五”和“七五”期间,地矿部在矿产综合利用研究方面硕果累累,为地质找矿、矿山建设及矿产综合评价和开发利用做出了贡献,取得了瞩目的经济社会效益,充分说明了“科学技术是第一生产力”论断的正确性. Under the guidance of the party’s general policy of reform and opening up, during the “6th Five-Year” and “Seventh Five-Year Plan” period, the Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources has made great achievements in the comprehensive utilization of mineral resources, making a contribution to geological prospecting, mine construction, and comprehensive evaluation and development of minerals. The contributions have achieved remarkable economic and social benefits and fully demonstrated the correctness of the assertion that “science and technology are primary productive forces.”
