Analysis and prospect of China's non-oil/gas geological exploration situation in 2023
Based on the data of the"National Geological Exploration Progress Information System",this paper summarizes and statistics the change of investment of China's non-oil/gas geological exploration from 2006 to 2023,analyzes the main characteristics of China's non-oil/gas geological exploration situation in 2023,and forecasts the situation of China's non-oil/gas geological exploration in 2024.In 2023,China's investment in geological exploration reached 20.07 billion yuan,marking a 7.7%increase and continuing the positive growth trend for three consecutive years.The professional structure of non-oil/gas exploration investment continued to adjust,the focus of geological exploration investment shifted to the western region,and the proportion of non-oil/gas mineral exploration investment continued to increase.In 2023,the prices of global bulk metal mineral products were high and volatile and downward,and the global investment in non-oil/gas mineral exploration decreased by 2.5%year-on-year,while China's non-oil/gas mineral exploration investment increased by 18.5%year-on-year,mainly due to the continuous improvement of China's mining policy environment and the increase in the number and area of registered exploration rights.Looking forward to 2024,the national non-oil/gas geological exploration investment will maintain a rising development trend,and is expected to increase by about 10%.
