en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Liaoning Provincial Public Resource Trading Center listed nine exploration rights for transfer in March 2026, involving five cities: Dalian, Jinzhou, Fuxin, Tieling, and Chaoyang. The mineral types include gold, iron, fluorite, and geothermal resources. Among them, the exploration rights for the Bajiazi Iron Mine in Fuxin Mongolian Autonomous County, Fuxin City, and the Dongpingdingshan Gold Mine in Zhangwu County were successfully transferred. The Bajiazi Iron Mine has an exploration area of 1.8819 square kilometers, a starting price of 100,000 yuan, and a transfer yield rate of 1.8%. The Dongpingdingshan Gold Mine has an exploration area of 1.722 square kilometers, a starting price of 110,000 yuan, and a transfer yield rate of 2.3%. The transfer of these two exploration rights will provide resource support for the high-quality development of Fuxin City from three dimensions: industrial upgrading, economic growth, and ecological synergy.
The Bajiazi Iron Mine is located in Fuxin Mongolian Autonomous County. The exploration mineral is iron ore, the exploration stage is grassroots, and the intended transfer period is 5 years. Liaoning Province is China's second-largest iron ore producing region. In 2024, its raw iron ore output reached 171 million tons, accounting for 16.4% of the national total. The western Liaoning region, where Fuxin is located, is dominated by hematite, with a grade of about 25% to 35% and proven reserves of about 500 million tons. The Dongpingdingshan Gold Mine is located in Houxinqiu Town, Zhangwu County. The exploration mineral is gold, and the intended transfer period is 5 years. In 2024, China's domestic raw material gold production was 377.242 tons, of which gold mine production accounted for 298.408 tons. Liaoning Province holds a significant position in the country's gold ore reserves.
The advancement of these two exploration right projects is expected to break the low-end development model of the traditional mining industry characterized by "primary raw material output" at the industrial upgrading level, promoting the industry's transformation towards a full-chain direction of "green mining + deep processing + recycling," and injecting new momentum into fostering new quality productive forces. From an economic growth perspective, the implementation of the projects is expected to drive the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries such as geological exploration, mining, and mineral processing, attracting investment and layout from industry enterprises. Regarding ecological synergy, Fuxin City is promoting the integration of mineral development with key ecological governance projects such as the comprehensive management of the Haizhou Open-pit Mine and the campaign to eliminate the Horqin Sandy Land, exploring a green mining development path of "developing while protecting and protecting while developing." Fuxin City is the first pilot city in China for the economic transformation of resource-exhausted cities.
Liaoning Province has continuously intensified the market-oriented transfer of mining rights in recent years. In 2025, the province's first batch of 29 strategic mineral resource exploration rights were collectively transferred, attracting 113 social capital entities to participate in bidding. The total transaction value was approximately 880 million yuan, focusing on critical strategic minerals such as iron, gold, boron, copper, and manganese. This further improved the efficiency of mineral resource allocation and invigorated the mining market. The transfer of these two exploration rights in Fuxin is a continuation of Liaoning Province's efforts to promote the market-oriented reform of mining rights. Their resource development value will gradually become apparent during future exploration and construction phases.
