The hottest plateau digs out strategic minerals, t

In modern economic society, mineral resources are an important material basis. More than 90% of primary energy, more than 80% of industrial raw materials, and more than 60% of agricultural means of production come from mineral resources. It can be said that mineral resources are an important support for sustainable economic and social development

since its establishment in 1956, Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral exploration and development (hereinafter referred to as "Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources") has always taken prospecting as its core business. After 62 years, the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources has found more than 130 kinds of minerals and more than 1500 mining areas with proved reserves in Sichuan, completed 95% of the basic geological work in the province, provided more than 75% of the "solid" mineral resources for Sichuan's economic construction, and provided strong support for the construction of Sichuan's top ten mineral bases

in recent years, due to the new changes in the supply and demand pattern of mineral products, the contradiction between overcapacity and the upgrading of demand structure is prominent, and the mining market at home and abroad continues to be depressed

transformation and development is a new topic that the national geological exploration industry has to face. Sichuan Bureau of Geology and mineral resources has made great efforts to explore the transformation

"under the new normal of economic development, the focus and object of geological work have shifted." The person in charge of the Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources said that the traditional ideas and models of geological work have been difficult to meet the needs of reform and development, and geological work will also be transformed from focusing on solving resource problems to solving both resource and environmental problems

in practice, Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources has gradually explored the transformation path of "prospecting for Industry and serving industry and people's livelihood". How on earth does this road go? What new changes will it bring to the geological prospecting industry

prospecting for Industry: looking for "new mines" in key areas of service

recently, the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources sent good news that the 108 geological team affiliated to the Bureau has explored another large spodumene mine in Ganzi Prefecture. So far, the team has explored three spodumene deposits in Ganzi Prefecture, with a total of more than 1.1 million tons of lithium oxide resources. Together with the lithium oxide resources previously explored by the Geological Survey Institute and the geochemical exploration team in Ganzi and ABA, Sichuan has become the largest spodumene mining area in Asia

if "looking for ore, looking for bigger ore" is the obsession of geological miners, then the geological miners in Sichuan in the new era have injected a new interpretation into their obsession: adjust the direction of prospecting according to the national development stage

the current economic and social development does not require mines, but requires higher quality. At this stage, mineral exploration should be based on finding and identifying high-quality mineral resources that can add value to resource assets, and further improve the quality of demand for mineral exploration results, which requires strategic emerging minerals that can meet the industrial transformation and upgrading

geological work must accurately connect with the central work of the provincial Party committee and the provincial government to serve the needs of local development. "Prospecting for industry" means to actively implement the requirements of the report of the 19th CPC National Congress on strategic security of resources, focus on improving the security of mineral resources, commit to the scientific and orderly exploration and development of strategic emerging mineral resources such as precious metals, copper polymetallic metals, vanadium titanium and rare earth, spodumene, graphite and so on, and actively participate in the exploration and evaluation of potash, shale gas, geothermal and other clean energy resources, In order to seize the strategic emerging material industry and provide due professional and technical support for the national resource guarantee

in recent years, the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources has carried forward the spirit of "Iron Army of Geology and mineral resources" and the style of "geological elite", went deep into the hinterland of the plateau, traveled through the canyon wilderness, focused on the exploration and evaluation of spodumene, rare earth, graphite and other strategic emerging resources, successively explored a number of large and super large mineral areas such as spodumene in Ganzi and ABA, Panzhihua graphite, rare earth and phosphate in Liangshan, and actively participated in the investigation and evaluation of shale gas in eastern Sichuan

the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources, under the leadership of the provincial Party committee and the provincial government, focuses on cultivating strategic emerging industries such as vanadium and titanium, rare earth, graphite and lithium, and strives to achieve an extended breakthrough in geological economy

last July, the Sichuan Provincial Key Laboratory for the evaluation and utilization of rare earth strategic resources was officially listed. Focusing on the demand of high-end growth industries such as new energy vehicles, aviation and gas turbines for rare earth and other strategic resources, we will focus on solving the key scientific and technological problems existing in the development and utilization of rare metals and rare earth resources with distinctive advantages in Panxi strategic resources innovation and development pilot zone, Ganzi, ABA and other places. Sun Chuanyao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, gave a high praise: "it will provide technical support for the development of rare metals and rare earth resources in Sichuan and even the whole country."

serve the industry and people's Livelihood: aim at the market demand to create "Geology +"

while adhering to geological prospecting, the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources further expanded the concept of big geological view, and vigorously explored geological markets such as agriculture, cities, environment, tourism, disasters, etc

serving the industry and people's livelihood and finding breakthroughs in the new needs of geological work is another aspect of the transformation and development of the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources. The Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources believes that the transformation and development must implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress, and must focus on the central work of the provincial Party committee and the provincial government, local development, and the development of various industries, and put forward the "Geology +" strategy, striving to promote the deep integration of geological work and economic and social development

focusing on ensuring and improving people's livelihood, the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources has carried out disaster geology and environmental geology, provided geological professional support for the government to implement people's livelihood projects, and formed the brand of "geology, mineral resources and Iron Army" for disaster prevention and control. Last year, during the one month geological disaster investigation in the whole province, more than 2000 technical personnel from the overall planning team carried out the investigation of potential hazards of geological disasters in 118 districts and counties in 21 cities and prefectures in the province, becoming the main force of geological disaster investigation in the whole province for the unit with the largest number of personnel

the upgrading and development of agriculture is also inseparable from the support of geological work. In recent years, the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources has carried out multi-objective geochemical surveys, promoted land remediation and soil improvement, carried out soil pollution control, traced the roots of the "gold lettered signboard" of Sichuan agriculture, and helped Sichuan cultivate a number of pollution-free agricultural products, green food, organic food, National geographical indication products and other characteristic agricultural products. In particular, in the implementation of the strategy of accurately docking poverty eradication and assisting rural revitalization, we should give full play to the advantages of geological technology and actively promote the transformation of Sichuan from a large agricultural province to a strong agricultural province

in cities, geological work finds scientific support for urban development. The Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources, in cooperation with Chengdu, Leshan, Meishan and other local governments, has carried out groundwater monitoring and pollution prevention, surface water monitoring and pollution prevention with very broad utilization prospects in the city, and carried out geological surveys of underground space, providing references for urban planning and ecological environment protection, as well as reducing carbon emissions and fuel consumption

global tourism is the main way of tourism development. The Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources carries out tourism geological exploration around the construction of a beautiful Sichuan, integrates geological elements into global tourism, and tells the story of Geology and the earth. Carry out the investigation of geological relics, paleontological fossils, special landforms and landscapes, actively promote the establishment of national geoparks and world geoparks in Sichuan Province, and vigorously promote the development of tourism in Sichuan

optimize production mode: build "smart geology and mineral resources" with talents

last November, the Provincial Geological Bureau signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sichuan Aerospace cloud Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Aerospace smart Manufacturing Technology Development Co., Ltd. in Chengdu

according to the agreement, Sichuan Province will accelerate the pilot construction of Sichuan Geological Data Center, command center, Sichuan Geological Industry cloud platform and Panzhihua geological cloud platform

exploring the track of geological work in recent years, we can find that geological work not only requires physical strength, but also intelligence. Sichuan geology and mineral resources people regard "smart geology and mineral resources" and "scientific and technological geology and mineral resources" as the key objectives of the construction of "five geology and mineral resources". In recent years, the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources has accurately connected big data, cloud computing and other emerging industries, deeply implemented the "interconnection +" action, and promoted the construction of Sichuan geological big data platform

the cloud platform of Sichuan geological industry is only an epitome of the construction of "smart geology and mineral resources". Looking back on this year, the geological and mineral workstation of "Zhongbo Sichuan think tank" was settled in the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources, which laid a good foundation for the establishment of a high-end Sichuan Geological Work think tank; The construction of provincial scientific and technological innovation platforms such as the provincial environmental protection and groundwater final pollution prevention and control engineering technology center has been promoted in an orderly manner; The preliminary work of the integration and upgrading of the Provincial Institute of Geology and Mineral Sciences was accelerated; The provincial geological data science and technology innovation center was officially launched

not only the platform construction, but also the role of scientific and technological innovation platform in gathering talents, integrating resources and jointly tackling key problems has begun to appear. The overall situation shouted the slogan of "building a talent Bureau and strengthening the team through science and technology", actively carried out the construction of "science and technology geology and mineral resources", strengthened the construction of talent team, strengthened the construction of technical equipment, and improved the core competitiveness

among them, the "Sichuan geological big data service platform construction and application demonstration" declared by the Geological Survey Institute was rated as the province's 2017 excellent project of cloud computing, big data, manufacturing and Internet integration development; The project "construction and application of data model method and technology system for mineral resource potential evaluation" participated in the implementation was awarded the second prize of national 2017 land and resources scientific and technological progress award and the first prize of scientific and technological progress award of China Geological Survey

new starting point and new journey, the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources will implement the major decisions of the provincial Party committee and the provincial government, identify the entry point of geological work in serving the economic and social development of Sichuan, firmly grasp the general tone of "prospecting for Industry and serving the industry and people's livelihood", and contribute to the construction of a beautiful, prosperous and harmonious Sichuan

key words: geology + tourism

discoverer of geological beauty: turn wilderness into Park

since this year, Sichuan Province has added two national geoparks - Gesala Geopark and Dagu iceberg Geopark. They are all declared by the geophysical prospecting team of the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources. From the start of investigation and evaluation in 2013 to the approval in 2018, Li Zhongdong, deputy chief engineer of the geophysical exploration team, and his colleagues finally won the first "national" brand for the scenic spot after five years

"the current tourism development is relatively simple, and the mining of resources is far from enough." Li Zhongdong said, "what we need to do is to tap the potential of resources through detailed tourism geological background investigation."

now, there are two world geoparks and 16 national geoparks in Sichuan, all of which were discovered by Sichuan geologists and miners

exploring tourism resources, developing geoparks, and telling the story of the earth are the important work contents of the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources in recent years, focusing on the goal of building a "strong tourism province". Through the investigation of geological tourism resources, new tourism resources have been found, and a series of characteristic geological tourism products have been created. Through the planning and implementation of the geological heritage survey and the general survey of tourism resources with the goal of global tourism, we will take the initiative to meet the needs of cities and prefectures, and actively carry out preliminary investigation and evaluation around the proposed geological national parks such as Gongga Mountain, queer mountain, Shangri La, Ruoergai wetland, etc

last year, Guangwu mountain nuoshui River National Geopark welcomed the on-site evaluation of UNESCO experts, and it was also Sichuan geologists who introduced it to the world - from investigation and evaluation to declaration, the regional survey team of the Provincial Bureau of Geology and mineral resources provided technical support. Not only in Sichuan, Sichuan geologists and miners are also actively going out. With their help, Xinjiang KEKETUOHAI and Qinghai
