The Gansu Geological Prospecting Bureau has achieved a breakthrough in the exploration at home and abroad

At the 2013 Gansu Provincial Non-ferrous Mining Bureau Annual Working Conference, the report pointed out that last year the Provincial Non-ferrous Mining Bureau highlighted key projects and key target areas, and focused on implementing a breakthrough ore-search strategy and achieved important breakthroughs.

After hard work, the provincial Bureau of Nonferrous Metals Exploration and Mineral Exploration, the Huangshaquan Iron Mine in Sunan County, the detailed investigation of the stinking cattle ditch, the investigation and evaluation of the Daijiazhuang-Jianba lead-zinc polymetallic ore, and the Xiaodonggou gold in Xihe County Detailed investigations have been made for a number of projects such as the detailed investigation of the mine and the general survey of the Chenjiamiao iron and copper mine in Zhangchuan County. Coal resources amounted to 276 million tons, iron ore resources amounted to 197 million tons, lead and zinc resources amounted to 720,000 tons, copper resources amounted to 41,200 tons, and gold resources amounted to 51.4 tons. At the same time, substantial progress has also been made in the overseas exploration projects of the Nonferrous Metals Exploration Bureau. The iron ore prospecting project in the Pilbara area in Australia has now completed 40 km2 ground magnetic surveys and 2,000 m drilling missions, and has successfully acquired 8 exploration rights in Australia.
