[Ministry of Natural Resources: China’s output of more than 30 metallurgical products ranks first in the world] On September 11, the latest "Global Mining Development Report 2026" released by the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources showed that since China implemented a new round of strategic actions for mineral prospecting breakthroughs, the exploration of strategic emerging minerals has achieved leapfrog development, and the ability to independently guarantee resources has been significantly enhanced. The "Global Mining Development Report 2026" shows that China's new round of strategic breakthroughs in mineral prospecting has achieved remarkable results. Mineral resource reserves have increased significantly, with 14 mineral reserves ranking first in the world. It has achieved three-dimensional expansion in the field of oil and gas exploration, and deep and deep sea areas have become new growth poles. At the same time, the scale of mineral product production and smelting processing ranks first in the world, and the dominant position in the industrial chain continues to be consolidated. Especially in the smelting and processing link, the output of more than 30 kinds of metallurgical products ranks first in the world, and the output of 17 kinds of mineral products accounts for about 50% of the total global output of mineral products. This marks that China is not only a major producer of mineral resources, but also a supply leader and important leader in the global smelting and processing industry.
