en.Wedoany.com Reported - As of June 2026, Inner Mongolia has identified a total of 152 mineral types with proven reserves, among which 20 mineral types—including coal, rare earths, ordinary fluorite, zirconium, niobium, natural soda, lead, zinc, and silver—rank first in the country in terms of retained resources. This information was released at the closing of the 2026 China Prospectors Annual Conference on June 6.

In recent years, with support from the Ministry of Natural Resources and other national ministries, Inner Mongolia has continued to advance a new round of strategic mineral exploration initiatives, increasing efforts in mineral resource exploration and development, in line with its strategic positioning and mission tasks. The number of mineral types with retained resources ranking among the top three in the country has increased to 55. The Greater Khingan Range and other key metallogenic belts offer broad exploration prospects, earning Inner Mongolia the reputation of a resource treasure trove. In terms of energy transmission, Inner Mongolia supplies electricity to more than 10 provinces and regions, including Jiangsu, Shandong, and Guangdong, via ultra-high voltage power grids. Its coal supply fills the demand gaps of over 20 provinces, regions, and cities across the country. The province has maintained the top national position in both coal and electricity supply for many years, playing a critical role in ensuring national energy and strategic resource security and stabilizing the fundamentals of economic development.
