Recently, it was learned from the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources that China's new-round strategic actions for breakthroughs in mineral exploration have achieved remarkable results. Ten one-billion-ton-class oil fields and nineteen one-hundred-billion-cubic-meter-class gas fields have been discovered. Ten large-scale or above uranium deposits have been found, leading to a substantial increase in uranium resources. The resource volumes of 12 minerals, including copper, aluminum, gold, gallium, germanium, and indium, have increased significantly. Substantial breakthroughs have been made in minerals related to strategic emerging industries such as rare earths, lithium, zirconium, hafnium, and helium.
