en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 4, 2026, the 2026 China Prospectors Annual Conference, themed "Dedicated to National Fortune · Building the Future," officially opened in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. Hosted by the China Mining Association, the conference saw deep participation from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Smart Mine Research Association as the designated partner of the China Mining Association in Inner Mongolia. The event brought together academicians from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the China Geological Survey, representatives from provincial geological survey institutes, leading geological exploration groups, and key mining enterprises. Discussions focused on core topics such as the new round of strategic mineral prospecting breakthroughs, smart exploration, and green mine development.
During the conference, relevant departments of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Department of Natural Resources of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region conducted special policy briefings on the "Implementation Regulations of the Mineral Resources Law of the People's Republic of China," officially released by the State Council on May 15, 2026. Key interpretations focused on new rules for mining rights transfer, project registration procedures, and mining area ecological restoration requirements. As the main battlefield for the new round of national prospecting breakthroughs, Inner Mongolia showcased its prospecting achievements during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, released the "15th Five-Year Plan" mineral exploration blueprint, and promoted key exploration projects and market-oriented transfer policies for 2026.
Technology empowerment was a hot topic at this year's conference. Currently, artificial intelligence, big data, and large model technologies have been fully integrated into the geological exploration field. Leveraging multi-source heterogeneous data fusion analysis from geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and remote sensing, intelligent algorithms can accurately delineate target areas, significantly reducing field exploration costs and improving prospecting success rates. At the conference, major domestic landmark prospecting achievements, such as the super-large single-body thousand-ton gold deposit in Liaoning's Dongda region and the marine niobium-tantalum deposit in Baicheng, Xinjiang, shared their exploration experiences. Additionally, a full-chain showcase of green and low-carbon exploration, zero-carbon mine construction, and mine ecological restoration technologies was presented. The conference also featured a dedicated geological and mining equipment exhibition section to promote the domestic development of high-end exploration equipment.
