en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Altay region of Xinjiang has recently received authorization from the autonomous region to add approval authority for the registration of 30 new mineral types, increasing the number of mineral types under local-level registration management from 45 to 75, thereby further expanding local autonomy in mineral administration. According to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Altay Regional Bureau of Natural Resources, this adjustment is based on the "Notice on Adjusting the Implementation of Certain Administrative Powers Related to Mining Rights Registration." Building on the existing authority to manage the registration of 45 non-metallic mineral types, the new authorization adds approval authority for 30 mineral types across three categories: energy, non-metallic, and water-gas minerals. This move aims to inject new momentum into the high-quality development of the region's mining economy.

Among the 30 newly added mineral types, there are 3 energy minerals, 26 non-metallic minerals, and 1 water-gas mineral. An official from the Mineral Resources Management and Supervision Division of the Altay Regional Bureau of Natural Resources stated that after assuming these powers, local autonomy in mineral administration will be strengthened, effectively shortening approval timelines, simplifying approval processes, reducing corporate burdens, and accelerating the exploration, development, and utilization of mineral resources. This will help transform the region's mineral resource advantages into industrial and economic advantages, support the implementation of a new round of strategic mineral exploration breakthroughs, and provide support for building a national strategic energy and resource security base.

From 2023 to 2025, the Altay region has invested a total of 738 million yuan in exploration funds and transferred 148 mining rights. In recent years, the region has continuously promoted the improvement of quality and efficiency in mineral resource management across the entire chain of exploration, development, transfer, and supervision.
