The event promoted 32 high-quality strategic mineral blocks, including 7 for oil and gas, 6 for lithium, 6 for gold, 5 for copper, 4 for lead-zinc, 1 for nickel, 1 for manganese, 1 for vanadium-titanium magnetite, and 1 for bauxite. These blocks are distributed in resource-rich areas such as Panzhihua City, Guangyuan City, Leshan City, Yibin City, Dazhou City, Ya'an City, Aba Prefecture, Ganzi Prefecture, and Liangshan Prefecture, all with favorable prospecting prospects and resource potential.
This promotion conference established a platform for mining investment cooperation, attracting over 80 well-known enterprises from upstream and downstream of the mineral resource industry chain, including central enterprises such as PetroChina, Sinopec, and CNOOC; state-owned enterprises like Sichuan Development, Shudao Group, and Shandong Gold; as well as leading private mining companies such as CATL and Zijin Mining.
Sichuan boasts superior metallogenic geological conditions and abundant strategic mineral resources. The province has discovered 136 types of minerals out of 174 nationwide, with verified reserves for 100 types. Among these, nine mineral types, including natural gas and shale gas, rank first in the country in terms of verified reserves; six types, including rare earth and lithium, rank second; and two types, including beryllium and crystalline graphite, rank third.
Sichuan's mining development possesses core advantages summarized as "three goods and three excellences": good resource endowment and excellent block sources, good policy conditions and excellent business environment, and good mining industry trends and excellent industrial prospects. In the past three years, Sichuan's revenue from mining rights transfers has consistently exceeded 10 billion yuan annually, with 79 mining rights already transferred in 2026.
A relevant official from the Sichuan Provincial Department of Natural Resources stated that in recent years, Sichuan has continuously optimized the mining business environment, supporting various market entities to seize the window of opportunity for mining development. It has formulated land use guarantee plans for key mining enterprises on a "one enterprise, one policy" basis, promoting the efficient implementation of mining projects. Notable exploration results have been achieved in multiple prospecting rights, including the Leshan North oil and gas block, the Maijitan lithium mine in Ganzi Prefecture, the Huili Hailin copper mine, and the Ganluo Ama lead-zinc mine. The blocks promoted in this centralized event will be released in batches throughout the year, with announcements to be made on the websites of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Sichuan Province's Public Resource Trading Information Network, and the Sichuan Provincial Department of Natural Resources.
