Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group: Go all out to fight for the mining rights of Honggenan mining area

Go all out to fight for the mining rights of Honggenan mining area —— Interview with Yang Bing , general manager of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Industry Development Department South Mining Area Mining Rights- Interview with Yang Bing, General Manager of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Industry Development Department In the mid-1960s, Panxi area became the most ideal steel industry base for "third-line construction" due to its rich vanadium-titanium-magnetite resources .
Thus, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co.
, Ltd.
was born.
It only took 5 years to build a modern steel city in a barren land.
It played an important role in the country's economic construction, national defense security, and strategic layout at that time.
It is known as "the pride of China's steel industry".
.
Today, more than 50 years later, Panzhihua Iron and Steel has developed into the only enterprise in the world that realizes the comprehensive utilization of iron, vanadium and titanium resources in vanadium-titanium magnetite .
However, after more than 50 years of mining in Panzhihua mining area, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co.
, Ltd.
has gradually exhausted its resources.
Where does the development of Panzhihua Iron and Steel go? The 4th National Committee (Expanded) Meeting of the 9th Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group and the 5th Workers' Congress of the 4th Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group emphasized that all efforts should be made to strive for the mining rights of the Honggenan mining area .
What is the significance of this strategic deployment? Recently, a reporter from Panzhihua Iron and Steel Daily interviewed Yang Bing, general manager of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Industry Development Department, about the status quo of the Honggenan mining area and the progress of mining rights .

What is the significance of this strategic deployment? Recently, a reporter from Panzhihua Iron and Steel Daily interviewed Yang Bing, general manager of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Industry Development Department, about the status quo of the Honggenan mining area and the progress of mining rights
.

Reporter: As an important strategic resource in China, Panxi vanadium titanomagnetite is mainly concentrated in the Panxi area.
Please briefly introduce the distribution of the mining area and the resources of the Honggenan mining area
.


The Panxi area has four super-large vanadium-titanium-magnetite deposits of Panzhihua, Hongge, Baima and Taihe
.
Among them, the Hongge mining area is further divided into two mining areas, south and north, and the mining rights of the north mining area have been allocated to Lomon Group
.
The resource reserves of the southern mining area are about 1.
946 billion tons.
Because of its large resource reserves, sufficient preliminary work, good ore selectivity and high economic value, it is the only mining area suitable for Panzhihua Iron and Steel in the mining area without mineral rights in the west of Panxi
.
Restricted by the technical level of comprehensive utilization of resources at that time, the state sealed it up for protection
.


Reporter: Does Panzhihua Iron and Steel have the ability and conditions to develop and utilize the resources of the Honggenan mining area at a high level?

That's for sure
.
Since 2010, with the strong support and help of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and other national ministries and commissions, as well as Sichuan Province and Panzhihua City, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co.
, Ltd.
has cooperated with the Mineral Comprehensive Institute of the Academy of Geological Sciences, the Institute of Processes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University and other units to focus on large-scale and high-efficiency.
, Clean and comprehensive utilization of vanadium, titanium, chromium, iron and other elements in Hongge ore target tasks, carry out joint research, and form a complete set of industrialization technology for comprehensive utilization of Hongge Nan ore resources
.
In December 2020, China Iron and Steel Association organized experts in Beijing to evaluate the scientific and technological achievements of the "Key Technology Research on Comprehensive Utilization of Honggenan Mine Resources" project led by Panzhihua Iron and Steel
.
The evaluation committee composed of 11 senior experts led by Gan Yong, Fei Weiyang, Qiu Dingfan, Mao Xinping, Wang Yunmin and other academicians unanimously agreed that the core technology of the project has reached the international leading level and can provide mature industrialization for the development and utilization of Honggenan Mine Technical support
.


Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", Pansteel has actively cooperated with governments at all levels to carry out the regulation adjustment of Honggenan mining area; coordinated with industry associations, academicians and experts, actively called for regulation adjustment of Honggenan mining area, and started the development of Honggenan mining area as soon as possible
.
At the same time, Pansteel's major technological breakthroughs in the comprehensive utilization of resources in the Honggenan mining area also provided solid technical support for the regulation work
.
Up to now, the Honggenan mining area has completed the adjustment of the national mineral resources "14th Five-Year Plan", and has the conditions for the allocation and development and utilization of mineral rights
.
At present, Panzhihua Iron and Steel has prepared and completed the implementation plan for the development and utilization of the Honggenan mining area
.


Reporter: What kind of force is it that supports Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co.
, Ltd.
to make such great efforts for the development and utilization of resources in the Honggenan mining area?

This kind of power is engraved in the bones of Panzhihua Iron and Steel people's family and country feelings, it is Panzhihua Iron and Steel's responsibility as a central enterprise, and it is Panzhihua Iron and Steel's historical mission of comprehensive utilization of Panzhihua's national strategic resources
.
For a long time, China's iron ore dependence on foreign countries has reached more than 80%
.
As the core and leading enterprise of Panxi National Strategic Resource Innovation and Development Pilot Zone, Panzhihua Iron and Steel is at the world's leading level in the comprehensive utilization of vanadium-titanium magnetite resources.
"Neck" material and ensure the strategic safety of China's iron ore to contribute to Panzhihua Iron and Steel
.
However, Panzhihua Iron and Steel itself faces major resource security risks.
At present, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group has only about 160 million tons of recoverable reserves within the scope of the Panzhihua mining rights, and it can only maintain its current production capacity until 2027, after which it will decline sharply
.
However, due to the special regional location and industrial structure of Panxi region, it is impossible to use imported minerals to supplement the resource gap
.
Therefore, it is necessary to build replacement mines as soon as possible, improve resource security capabilities, and build Panzhihua Iron and Steel into a world-class new metal material enterprise, so as to better play the role of central enterprises and serve the national strategy
.


Reporter: Are you confident that Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co.
