Qinghai's newly proven petroleum geological reserves in the past ten years are 411 million tons and potash salts are 579 million tons

Luo Baowei, deputy director of the Department of Natural Resources of Qinghai Province and deputy chief inspector of natural resources of Qinghai Province, said in Xining on the 14th that in the past ten years, the province has arranged a total of 5,034 non-oil and gas geological exploration projects, with funds of 18.

Luo Baowei said that in the past ten years, focusing on the important mineral resources, clean energy and new materials and minerals urgently needed by the country and Qinghai's advantages, the Department of Natural Resources of Qinghai Province has actively adjusted the work layout, the Qaidam Basin and its surrounding areas have been mainly strategic mineral exploration, the Xining-Guide-Republic Basin has been mainly geothermal resources surveys, and the eastern densely populated areas have been mainly
geo-surveyed by hydrological ring geology and geological disasters.

According to Luo Baowei, with geological prospecting as the center, Qinghai Province has achieved three discoveries, that is, the "three rare" mineralization belt was found in the northern margin of Qaidam; For the first time, continental shale gas with good hydrocarbon production capacity was found in the Babaoshan area; About 5,430 square kilometers of selenium-rich soil
were found in eastern Qinghai and Qaidam oasis agricultural areas.

At the same time, Qinghai Province has made three breakthroughs in geological prospecting, namely the exploration of potash resources, the prospecting of magma melt-off nickel ore in the East Kunlun Ore-forming Belt, and the exploration of hot and dry rock in the Republic-Guide Basin
.

In addition, three bases have been formed in geological prospecting in Qinghai Province: the exploration and development base of 10 million tons of iron-copper-lead-zinc ore in Qimantag area, the 100-ton gold mine exploration and development base in East Kunlun area, and the national resource reserve base of 10 million tons of copper-lead-zinc in Qingnan Yushu and Tuotuohe areas
.

Luo Baowei said that in the past ten years, the province has arranged a total of 5,034 non-oil and gas geological exploration projects of various types, with a capital of 18.
123 billion yuan, 211 newly submitted mineral sites and census bases, and 94 mineral sites for development; The newly proven petroleum geological reserves are 411 million tons, the geological reserves of natural gas are 167.
8 billion cubic meters, the coal is 3.
262 billion tons, the copper-nickel-lead-zinc is 15.
9914 million tons, the gold is 423.
89 tons, the silver is 6713 tons, and the potash is 579 million tons
.

In addition, Zhao Chongying, deputy director of the Geological Exploration and Management Department of the Department of Natural Resources of Qinghai Province, said that in terms of mineral exploration with advantages and important advantages in Qinghai Province, deep pore brine brine type potash ore was found in the western part of the Qaidam Basin, which broadened the space for potash prospecting.
Golmud summer Hamu super-large copper-nickel cobalt deposit, becoming the second largest copper-nickel deposit in China; Dulana Gengkangchel Gou discovered Qinghai's first super-large independent silver deposit
.
In terms of new material mineral exploration, ultra-large crystalline graphite ore
was found in the Golmud Torahai River area.
In terms of clean energy mineral exploration, high-temperature rock masses were drilled in the Gonghe Basin, laying a solid foundation for the construction of China's national hot dry rock exploration and development and utilization demonstration base
