The Ministry of Natural Resources issued an announcement on April 10. and with the approval of the State Council, high-purity quartz ore has become my country's 174th new mineral species. High-purity quartz ore is indispensable to high-tech industries such as semiconductors and photovoltaics. The global high-purity quartz ore resources are unevenly distributed, and my country is highly dependent on imports. Many high-purity quartz mines have been discovered in Henan, Xinjiang and other places. The establishment of new mineral species is very important for promoting the localization of industrial resources related to high-purity quartz mines and ensuring the security of my country's high-tech industrial chain and supply chain.
On April 9. the Yandong Copper Mine Project of Hami Dingxin Copper Industry officially started construction. It is expected to produce 50.000 tons of copper metal annually and will become the largest copper metal production base in Xinjiang. Hami Dingxin Copper Industry holds the mining rights of Tuwu Copper Mine and Yandong Copper Mine. The total copper metal reserves of the two mines exceed 2.5 million tons, accounting for 3.1% of the proven reserves of copper resources in the country. The Yandong Copper Mine Project adopts domestic advanced mining and mineral processing technologies and is committed to building a digital and green mine. Hami City provides continuous support during the project promotion process, helping the copper industry to develop in a large-scale and intensive manner, optimizing the industrial structure and promoting industrial economic growth. Hami Dingxin Copper Industry plans to achieve the coordinated development of Tuwu and Yandong Copper Mines, with an annual output of 50.000 tons of copper metal. The long-term goal is to be based in Xinjiang, radiate to Central Asia, look to the world, and expand and strengthen the copper industry. 47 mineral deposits have been discovered in the Hami East Tianshan Nonferrous Metal Mineralization Belt, with a metal resource of 3.73 million tons, accounting for 37% of the total resource volume in Xinjiang. Hami City plans to deepen the development of nonferrous metal mining and processing industry during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
Recently, the "Air-Space-Ground Beidou Positioning Technology" developed by the State Energy Group Digital Intelligence Technology Company has been successfully deployed in the Xinjie Energy Smart Infrastructure Management System. This technology application completed the first implementation of the "BIM+Beidou" technology integration in the field of domestic coal infrastructure, marking a key step in the digital transformation of my country's coal industry.
This innovative application fundamentally changed the management model of traditional coal infrastructure that relies on manual inspections and experience judgment, and established a full life cycle digital service system covering exploration and design, construction and construction to operation and maintenance.
The latest report released by the International Energy Agency shows that global energy demand will increase by 2.2% year-on-year in 2024 (exceeding the average of 1.3% in the past decade), and the power sector will become the core driving force: driven by extreme high temperatures, industrial expansion and the development of the AI industry, global electricity consumption will surge by 4.3% (reaching an increase of 1.100 terawatt hours), and renewable energy will become the main force with a record 700 gigawatts of new installed capacity (accounting for 80% of the increase in power generation), pushing the proportion of clean energy power generation to exceed 40% for the first time. Natural gas demand among fossil energy sources increased by 2.7% (an increase of 115 billion cubic meters), but the growth rate of oil demand dropped to 0.8% (the proportion fell below 30%), and the growth rate of coal was only 1%, mainly due to the structural change caused by the 25% surge in electric vehicle sales. Despite the overall growth in energy demand, the popularization of clean technology has caused carbon emissions to increase slightly by 0.8% to 37.8 billion tons in 2024. and the cumulative annual emission reduction since 2019 has been 2.6 billion tons (accounting for 7% of the total), marking the deepening of the energy revolution in which economic growth and carbon emissions continue to decouple.
The Ministry of Industry and Construction of Kazakhstan issued a statement saying that Kazakh geologists have discovered a large rare earth metal deposit 300 meters underground in the Karaganda region, with a reserve of 1 million tons and an estimated total resource volume of more than 20 million tons.
