Geological and Mineral Resources
Surveys and Evaluations
The level of Basic geological survey was further improved. Major breakthroughs were realized
in the non-profit survey of oil and gas, such as shale gas and coal-bed methane. Geothermal and
groundwater resources surveys and evaluations were carried out in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei
region. New progress was made in the survey of certain important mineral resources. Work
continued in the basic geological survey and mineral resources survey in territorial waters, and
oceanic geological survey.
In 2020, the regional geological survey on a scale of 1∶50,000 for 33,300 square kilometers
was completed with financial fund from the central government, and the total area of regional
geological survey reached 4,342,100 square kilometers, occupying 45% of the land area
of China. The geochemistry investigation in an area of 16,100 square kilometers with a
1
China Mineral Resources 2021
scale 1∶50,000 has completed with financial fund from the central government, with an
accumulated completed area of 2,807,400 square kilometers, occupying 29.1% of the land
area of China. The aeromagnetic survey of 95,600 kilometers was completed, and the seismic
reflection profile of 475 kilometers was measured.
New progress was made in the survey of shale oil and gas in continental facies in the Songliao
Basin. The Jili-1# shale oil well in the Lishu graben in the southern part of the Songliao Basin
obtained for the first time a high-yield industrial flow of 76,000 cubic meters per day in the
shale strata of the Shahezi Formation, making a breakthrough in the investigation of continental
shale gas in the graben Lake Basin; the Song Shale Oil-3# well in the Sanzhao Depression in
the northern part of the Songliao Basin obtained a daily industrial oil flow of 3.46 cubic meters
per day, making a breakthrough in strategic investigation of new shale oil zones in normal
pressure, medium to low heat evolved mud shale reservoirs.
New progress was also seen in the geological survey of shale gas in the Anhui region along
the downstream of the Yangtze River Economic Zone, the middle Hunan region along the
midstream, and Daguan, Yunnan and Danzhai, Guizhou along the upstream. The two-layer gas
testing by hydrofracture in the Silurian system of the Xinsudi 1# well on the northwest edge of
the Tarim Basin yielded 16,800 and 12,600 cubic meters of industrial gas flow per day, opening
up a new formation of oil and gas exploration in the Silurian system of northwest Tarim.
The coal-bed methane survey has achieved an important breakthrough in industrial gas flow
from the Heijidi 4# well, Heijidi 3# well and Heijidi 1# well, which were deployed in the coal
mining area and mined-out area of the Jixi Basin and deep peripheral layers. It effectively
serves efficient control of mine gas and comprehensive utilization of coalbed methane
resources, and opens up a new field of exploration and development of unconventional oil and
gas resources dominated by coal measure gas.

1. Energy
In 2020, China produced primary energy of 4.08 billion tons of coal equivalent, an increase of
2.8% over the previous year (Fig. 4-2), while consumed 4.98 billion tons of coal equivalent, an
increase of 2.2%. Its energy self-sufficiency rate was 81.9%. In the energy consumption mix,
coal accounted for 56.8%, oil accounted for 18.9%, natural gas accounted for 8.4%, and non-
fossil energy such as hydropower, nuclear power and wind power accounted for 15.9% in 2020.
China’s energy consumption mix has kept improving. In the past decade, the proportion of
coal in primary energy consumption decreased by 13.4 percentage points, while the proportion
of non-fossil energy such as hydropower, nuclear power and wind power increased by 7.5
percentage points (Fig. 4-3).
China produced 3.9 billion tons of coal in 2020, increased by 1.4% over the previous year,
and consumed 4.3 billion tons, increased by 0.6%. It produced 195 million tons of oil in
the year, increased by 1.6% (Fig. 4-4), and consumed 670 million tons, increased by 2.0%.
It produced 192.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the year, increased by 9.8%, and
consumed 330.6 billion cubic meters, increased by 6.9%.
2. Metals
In 2020, China’s production of iron ore was 870 million tons, increased by 3.7% over the
previous year (Fig. 4-5), and the apparent consumption (domestic production + imports) was
1.42 billion tons (standard ore). Crude steel production was 1.07 billion tons, increased by
7.0%. Ten principal non-ferrous metals were 61.68 million tons, increased by 5.5%. Copper
in concentrate was 1.67 million tons, an increase of 3.9%; lead in concentrates 1.33 million

In 2020, China produced 88.93 million tons of phosphate rocks (30% of P2O5), increased by
1.3% over the previous year, and 2.40 billion tons of cement, increased by 2.5% (Fig. 4-6).
The percentage of large and medium-sized mines in China exceeded 20%, and the
concentration of the mining industry increased steadily. The productivity of labor force in
mineral resources development (other than oil and gas) increased dramatically from 1,310
tons/person-year to 2,120 tons/person-year, which was a remarkable progress. Despite
the rising difficulty in raw ore mining and dressing and generally degrading of mined ore,
most of the main mining and dressing indicators remain stable or increase slightly. For
example, the average extract recovery rate of iron ore by underground mining was 86.7%,
and the average recovery rate in dressing reached 76.5%.
2. 9th batch of minerals released with requirements for “three rates” for
reasonable development and utilization
In April 2021, the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Announcement of the Minimum Requirements
of “Three Rates” for Reasonable Development and Utilization of Mineral Resources Like
Tripoli (for trial implementation) was released, giving the requirements for the extract recovery
rate, recovery rate in dressing, and comprehensive utilization rate (known as the “three rates”)
of 36 mineral sources, including tripoli, geothermal energy and carbon dioxide gas. By that
time, the “three rates” had been formulated and released for a total of 124 kinds of mineral
resources over the nine years, covering all the minerals involved in the mines in production.

Since September 1, 2020, the Resource Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (No.
33 Order of the President) has come into effect, and the provinces have issued the specific
applicable tax rates in their own regions. According to the national weighted average, the
resource tax rate was basically the same before and after the implementation, among which the
middle and heavy rare earth and molybdenum mines decreased by 7 and 3 percentage points
respectively.
According to the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation
Administration on Continued Implementation of Preferential Policies for Resource Tax. the
sand, gravel and other materials collected and used by the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Company
and its affiliated units during the operation period continued to be exempted from resource
tax; and
● from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2021, the shale gas resource tax was reduced by 30%;
● from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, for small-scale VAT taxpayers, resource tax
could be reduced within 50% of the tax amount;
● from December 1, 2014 to August 31, 2023, the resource tax was reduced by 50% for the
coal replaced by filling mining.
The new resource tax law no longer uniformly stipulates the preferential treatment for
associated, low-grade and tailings utilization, but the provinces (autonomous regions and
municipalities) make their own provisions according to the actual situation.

Mineral Resources Management
In 2020, the reform of mineral resources and reserves management was completed successfully
with new rules and standards released. Formulation of the National Mineral Resources Plan
(2021-2025) progressed smoothly, while local mineral resources plans at various levels were
also being formulated. The supervision and management of geological exploration activities
were strengthened, and the safety production management of geological exploration industry
was enhanced. The reform of the mining right transfer system was accelerated and the
registration information of mining right transfer was made accessible to the public.
The MNR formulated the National Mineral Resources Plan (2021-2025) (draft for comment)
in collaboration with the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry
and Information Technology, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Ecology and Environment
and Ministry of Commerce. Comments were extensively solicited from relevant ministries,
29
China Mineral Resources 2021
commissions, industry associations and local natural resources authorities, and the expert
examination and third-party evaluation have been completed. The draft plan has been submitted
for approval.
According to the requirements of the Notice on the Preparation of Mineral Resources Plan
(2021-2025) issued by the MNR, and in accordance with the principle of top-down, upper and
lower linkage, and close progressing, the preparations of provincial, municipal and county
planning is right underway. At present, the provincial draft planning for mineral resources of
31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government
and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have all been harmonized with the National
Mineral Resources Plan (2021-2025), and entered the preparation stage for approval.
According to incomplete statistics, 350 cities and more than 1,600 counties have carried out the
preparation of planning for mineral resources at their own levels, basically achieving the full
coverage of mining activities in the whole country.
In 2020, there were 2,484 geological exploration entities in China, with about 450 thousand
employees and total revenues of about RMB 356.7 billion.
During the 13th Five-Year Plan, at non-oil and gas exploration entities, the per capita wage
rose steadily, the revenues of the entities grew gradually, and their total assets increased slowly.
Meanwhile, the scale of the geological exploration workforce was gradually reduced, the
income from mining right transfer was decreasing year by year, and the net value of geological
exploration equipment dropped.

On May 10, 2021, the Guidelines of the Ministry of Natural Resources on Promoting the
High-quality Development of the Geological Exploration Sector was released to guide local
governments to actively yet prudently carry out the reform for separation of enterprises from
public institutions, explore reform incentive policies, expand into new fields, strengthen the
supervision and management system, maintain order in the sector, and jointly promote the
high-quality development of geological exploration.
On June 8, 2021, the Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources on
Printing and Distributing the Measures for Supervision and Management of Geological
Exploration Activities (Trial) was issued, clarifying that the supervision and management
of geological exploration activities should adhere to the principles of statutory duties, credit
constraints, collaborative supervision and social co-governance, and by strengthening
supervision and control, strive to construct a social co-governance pattern of geological
exploration unit autonomy, industry self-discipline, social supervision and government
control.
On March 22, 2021, the Guidelines of the Ministry of Natural Resources on Strengthening the
Safety Production and Management of Geological Exploration and Surveying and Mapping
Sector was issued. By further consolidating the concept of safety production, implementing
the main responsibility of safety production, and strengthening the safety risk management of
key links, the safety and development of geological exploration industry were coordinated, the
integration and complementarity of safety production and business management were realized,
and the foundation of safety production was constantly consolidated.
31
China Mineral Resources 2021
In 2020, in order to fully implement the requirements for reform under the Opinions of the
Ministry of Natural Resources on Promoting the Reform of Mineral Resources Management
(Trial), the ministry released a number of corresponding measures of reform for mineral
resources and reserves management, successfully completed the tasks of reform, and
established a new system of rules and standards for reserves management.
59 national and industry standards, including Classifications for Mineral Resources and
Reserves and Classifications for Petroleum Resources and Reserves, were released to create
a system of standards based on the new methodology for classification of mineral resources
and reserves, which is of great significance for scientifically identifying the mineral resources,
rationally utilizing the resources and safeguarding the rights and interests of the state and
businesses.
3. Improved management system for reviewing and filing mineral resources and
reserves
The management system for reviewing and filing mineral resources and reserves has been
improved by clearly providing that review and filing are administrative acts as an important
basis for the state to regulate mineral resources and reserves. The Circular of the General
Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources on Matters Concerning the Management of Mineral
Resources and Reserves Review and Filing and other documents clearly define the scope and
authority of review and filing, streamline the procedures, reduce the application requirements,
shorten the time frame for review and filing, open the online system for review and filing, and
actively promote “Internet + government services”.
32
M Chapter VII
ineral Resources Management
The database cleaning, registration supplementing and digitalization of assessment filing since
the establishment of the former Ministry of Land and Resources were organized and carried
out, data conversion between the new and old classification standards across the country was
fully arranged, and the provinces and mining enterprises were guided to carry out conversion
and verification. In combination with compilation of the statistics of mineral resources and
reserves and annual report of mine reserves in 2020, the conversion of data under the new
classification standards was completed for 2020.
Various efforts were made to publicize the reform achievements by holding national training
sessions via video conferencing, publishing interviews and interpretations on China Natural
Resources News, issued 300 Questions on Interpretation of Technical Standards of Mineral
Resources and Reserves, organizing national exchange activities on review work, conducting
surveys and discussions in different regions across the country, with more than 40,000
participants, and guiding Hubei, Henan, Gansu and other provinces to deliver training to
promote the implementation of reforms.
Since the implementation of the Opinions of the Ministry of Natural Resources on Promoting
the Reform of Mineral Resources Management (Trial), local authorities have conscientiously
implemented and coordinated efforts to promote the reform of the mining right transfer
system throughout the country, implemented the requirements for competitive transfer of
mining rights, strictly controlled transfer made under agreement, and completely stopped
transfer of prospecting rights to first applicants. Compared with 2019, among the newly
33
China Mineral Resources 2021
offered prospecting rights in 2020, the proportion of rights transferred through competition
such as bidding, auction and listing increased from 43% to 73%, and that of rights transferred
under agreement decreased by 26% with most for deep exploration projects at existing mines.
In 2020, over 80% of the newly offered mining rights were transferred through competition
such as bidding, auction and listing, and the mining rights transferred under agreement only
accounted for 2%. From the implementation of Document No.7 on May 1, to the end of June
2021, a total of 263 prospecting rights and 1598 mining rights have been transferred in a
competitive manner across the country. It has become a consensus to acquire mining rights
through fair competition.
When an oil and gas prospecting right holder discovers oil and gas resources that can be
exploited, the firm may exploit the resources once it has reported the discovery with a
competent authority for registration of natural resources. Under the system combining oil and
gas exploration and production, it is possible to go through the procedures for exploration and
production and directly start extraction without suspending the field work when oil and gas
resources are discovered. This system is adapted to the technical necessities in exploration
and production of oil and gas resources, facilitates harmonized planning by mining rights
holders, allows rational arrangements of production and construction activities, ensures
smooth transition from exploration to production, reduces costs, accelerates construction and
production, and facilitates oil and gas exploration and production.
In order to implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and
the State Council on the reform of mining right transfer system and deepen the reform to
“streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services”,
the MNR actively promoted the transfer of “net mining rights” by completing procedures
for space avoidance of all kinds of prohibited and restricted exploration and mining areas as
well as related matters in accessing land, forest, grass and sea in the early stage of mining
right transfer. The joint examination and approval mechanism of “net mining right” transfer,
the reform policy of mining land and the establishment of mining land system suitable
for the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources in the Mineral Resources Law
34
M Chapter VII
ineral Resources Management
were studied, and documents for promoting the transfer of “net mining rights” were being
drafted.
A good job was continued in publicizing the registration of mining rights transfer nationwide.
In 2020, the portal website of the MNR publicized a total of 35,592 items of public information
including mining right transfer registration, among them, there were 31,320 publicities
of mining right approval results, 1,649 notices concerning transfer by tender, auction and
listing, 1,400 publicities of results of transfer by tender, auction and listing, 198 publicities of
agreement-based transfer, 602 publicities of transfer, and 423 publicities of newly-established
mining right handling.
To promote the reform of the mining right transfer system, and prepare for work related to
mining right transfer, a “mining right transfer database” for oil and gas and non-oil and gas
projects has been established and improved gradually. In February 2021, the MNR released
an online announcement soliciting proposals on blocks for mining right transfer. It clearly
provides that natural resources authorities at all levels, relevant institutions, enterprises,
research institutes and the public may submit proposals on blocks of oil and gas and non-
oil and gas for mining rights transfer via the section “Proposal on Blocks for Mining
Rights Transfer” of the service portal of the MNR at http://zwfw.mnr.gov.cn from February
1, 2021.
In order to promote the healthy and orderly development of the sand and gravel industry, a
large number of mining rights of large-scale sand and gravel mines have been put into the
market successively, further optimized the layout of sand and gravel development, accelerated
the formation of high-quality sand and gravel production capacity, promoted the mining
and utilization of sea sand in an orderly manner, supported the comprehensive utilization of
waste rock tailings, and promoted the overall utilization of sand and gravel in engineering
construction.

approval documents of paleontological fossils were included into the “single window” of the
customs departments. The identification and recovery of suspected Chinese paleontological
fossils intercepted by the United States and Chile were organized, and the identification of
suspected Chinese paleontological fossils was carried out abroad once, and one sample was
identified. We assisted in carrying out the National Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference on
Comprehensive Control of Anti-smuggling and the Inter-ministerial Joint Conference on
Cultural Relics Safety, and participated in the identification of involved fossils seized by public
security, customs departments other departments for 10 times, with 533 samples identified.

Innovations in Mineral Resources
In 2020, remarkable achievements have been made in the research of mineral resources with
breakthroughs from many research projects. A number of important national and industrial
standards were released, and many key laboratories and engineering and technological
innovation centers were recognized.
1. Major improvements
China successfully completed the second round of trial extraction of natural gas hydrate at
sea. It mastered the core technology of horizontal well drilling and extraction in shallow soft
strata in deep sea, and took a major leap from exploratory trial production to experimental trial
production. This made China the first country in the world to produce natural gas hydrate at sea
with horizontal well drilling and extraction technology.
Breakthroughs were made in high-efficiency fracturing with fracture and shock control in
hot dry rock, and multi-target precise directional drilling in high-temperature hard rock.
40
S Chapter IX
cientific and Technological Innovations
in Mineral Resources
Large-scale fracturing and reserve creation with hot dry rock succeeded in the Gonghe
Basin, Qinghai Province.
Guided by the continental collision metallogenic theory, the first 3,000-meter scientific deep
drilling of solid minerals was successfully completed in the Jiama mining area of the Qinghai-
Tibet Plateau, where copper-molybdenum orebodies in thick porphyry were discovered. By
innovating the deep exploration technology and methods, enriching and improving the deep
gold mineralization theory, the total resources of the Jiaojia Gold Mine were increased to more
than 2,500 tons through deep drilling verification.
2. Major achievements
Significant achievements were made in basic fields of geological research. Leveraging
the national key research and development program of “Deep Structure and Metallogenic
Process of Collision Orogenic and Metallogenic System in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau”,
researchers meticulously depicted the crustal structure of the Gangdisi collision zone,
suggested the growth mechanism and metallogenic coupling mechanism of extremely thick
crust, uncovered the three-dimensional structure of the main collision metallogenic system,
identified the metallogenic “source-transfer-storage” system, visualized the three important
ore concentration areas on a preliminary basis, and achieved major breakthroughs in
prospecting.
Important breakthroughs have been made in shale gas theory, methods, key technologies
and equipment. Favorable litho-facies and enrichment mechanism were clarified for marine
facies, marine-continental interactive facies, and continental shale gas formation, and
accumulation model of “seven phases, four evolutions, seven reservoir-controlling” was
proposed. A classification and systematization of shale gas resource evaluation method system
and parameter system suitable for the country was established. Rapid analysis of organic
geochemistry and three-dimensional quantitative characterization of micro-nano-scale pore
structure and composition was formed for the highly evolved shale gas. The in-situ testing
technology was conquered of formation pressure in a 3000-meter deep well. A vehicle-mounted
fast multi-parameter comprehensive analysis system was developed for shale gas.
41
China Mineral Resources 2021
A number of key core technologies were conquered, such as vertical deviation compensation
based on the gravity field model and accurate extraction of weak gravity signals. The aviation
gravity/vector gravity survey system with completely independent intellectual property rights
has been developed. Airborne gravity measurement accuracy reaches 0.58mGal, almost
the same with the international advanced level, and its airborne gravity and vector gravity
exploration systems reached the world’s leading level. Methods and software for processing
