Mineral resources endowment,exploration & development situation and cooperation prospect of the Caribbean region in Latin America
The Caribbean region is abundant in mineral resources. The study on the mineral resources endow-ment,exploration & development situation and cooperation prospect of the Caribbean region has important direc-tive significance for Chinese enterprises to carry out mining investment in Caribbean region. Research shows that (1)The Caribbean region has experienced strong orogeny and magmatic activity in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic,and formed large-scale tectonic-magmatic belts with superior ore-forming geological conditions.(2)Copper,gold,nickel,cobalt and bauxite are very abundant in the Caribbean region. The reserves of nickel and bauxite of the Caribbean region leap into the top position in the world. The mineralization stages of main mineral resources of the Caribbean region can be roughly divided into the Mesozoic and Cenozoic.(3)The Dominican Republic is the country which has the largest mineral resources exploration investment in the Caribbean region. Gold has the larg-est exploration investment among all the kinds of mineral resources in the Caribbean region. The exploration invest-ment of mineral resources of the Caribbean region is mainly from major mining companiess. Mining companies from Canada and the United States are the leaders in mineral resources exploration and development in the Caribbean region.(4)The mineral resources exploration targets of the Caribbean region in the future are the copper,gold,nickel and cobalt which are formed in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. In the future,China has broad prospects for min-ing cooperation with the Caribbean region.
