加强合作交流、科学利用资源、繁荣中亚经济 加强合作交流、科学利用资源、繁荣中亚经济 Enhance communication and cooperation, Utilizing resources reasonably and Economic prosperity of Central Asia Ministry of Land and Resources, P.R. China July, 2012

Respectable Mr. President, my counterparts, ladies and gentlemen, On behalf of the minister, we express our sincere thanks for the invitation to Mr. Nurlan, the deputy minister of Ministry of Industry and New Technologies of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Central Asian countries are friendly neighbors of China, and we share mountains and rivers. Several ore-forming belts span over these counties, such as the Altay ore-forming belts, the Bashkir-Jungar ore-forming belts, the middle Asian Tianshan ore-forming belts, the Karakum-Tarim ore-forming belts and the Tethyan ore-forming belts. 阿尔泰成矿带 Altay ore-forming belts 环喀尔巴什 - 准格尔成矿带 Bashkir-Jungar ore-forming belts 中亚天山成矿带 middle Asian Tianshan ore-forming belts 卡拉库姆 - 塔里木成矿带 Karakum-Tarim ore-forming belts 特提斯成矿带 Tethyan ore-forming belts Ore-forming belts in central

We finished 1: Aeromagnetic survey for an area about km 2 in three years, covering one third of the cold areas of Xinjiang. It promotes the iron prospecting in the cold areas of Xinjiang and large-scale iron belts were located, i.e. the Awulale belt in the western Tiansha Mt. and the Taxkorgan belt in the western Kunlun Mt. Recently years, we carried out geological mapping and study on metallogenetic theories and effective ore exploring techniques in these ore-forming belts in Xinjiang. The following achievements have obtained. 362 sites have been discovered newly for iron, copper, zinc, lead, gold etc., and 2688 geochemical anomalous regions were located that lay a solid basis for further investigation.

11 large-scale and super large-scale ore belts have been submitted. 哈腊苏铜矿 Kalasu copper 迪木那里克铁矿 Dimunake iron 白干湖钨锡矿 Baiganhu tungsten and tin 坡北铜镍矿 Bobei copper and nickel 蒙西铜矿 Mengxi copper 土屋 - 延东铜矿 Tuwu-yandong copper 东疆煤田 Dongjiang coal 白山 - 东戈壁钼矿 Baishan-donggebi moly 萨热克铜矿 Sareke copper 喀腊达坂铅锌铁矿 Kaladaban Lead 、 zinc and iron 维宝铅锌矿 Weibao Lead and zinc

6 准东煤田 Zhundong coal 阿吾拉勒铁矿 Awulale iron 乌拉根铅锌矿 Wulagen Lead and zinc 赞坎 - 老并铁矿 Zankan-laobing iron 彩霞山铅锌矿 Caixiashan Lead and zinc Newly discovered resources: Coal, iron, Lead and zinc, tungsten, copper and nickel, and moly. The new findings provide resources for the development of Xinjiang.

Based on recent studies, we believe there are great prospecting potential in these ore-forming belts. Therefore, we should carry out joint prospecting and potential assessment in these belts. In the past years, China singed memorandum of understanding in geology with Kazakstan, Tajikistan and etc., conducted joint study on metallogeny and mapping with central Asian counties. We carried out database development and information extraction for ore exploration using existing geochemical data with Kyrgyzstan and some new potential areas for ore prospecting have been delineated. We carried out geochemical mapping in the pamir area with Tajikistan and some preliminary results have been obtained.

Geology has no border. To promote the economic prosperity of central Asian, we suggest to enhance communication and cooperation among central Asian countries and to utilize resources reasonably. We can carry out cooperation in many fields, such as major geological issues, mineral resources assessment for dominant mineral resources in key ore-forming belts, methods and techniques of geological investigation, database development, comprehensive utilization of mineral resources and geological professional resources exchange and joint education. We believe these cooperation will enhance the friendship, deepen geological study and bring prosperity to central Asian counties.

To enhance professional resources exchange, Chinese government plans to hold a training program on geochemical mapping and environmental geochemical investigation for Asian countries during 14 August to 12 September 2012 and a training program on geological survey and mineral resources assessment given in Russian during 24 October to 22 November 2012.

Taking this opportunity, I give a brief introduction to my institute, Xi’an Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources of the Ministry of Land and Resources, P.R. China (Xi’an Center of Geological Survey of China Geological Survey). It is responsible for the planning and organization of geological and mineral resources survey in northwest China, and international cooperation in geology and mineral resources with central Asian countries on behalf of China Geological Survey.

Wish the conference a complete success and welcome to participate the 2012 China International Mining Conference in Tianjin.

谢谢！ thanks
