自然资源部周三宣布，中国拥有全球最大的14种关键矿产储量，并在17种矿产产量上位居首位。这凸显了中国在全球资源供应链中的重要作用。该数据在月度媒体通报会上发布。
自然资源部在周三的月度媒体通报会上表示，中国在稀土、钨、锡、钼、锑等14种矿产的储量上位居世界第一，并在煤炭、稀土、黄金、锌等17种矿产的生产上领先全球。
2025年，中国矿业产值达到约32.7万亿元人民币（约4.8万亿美元），占国内生产总值的23%以上。该部强调，中国拥有大规模的采矿、冶炼和加工能力，是全球资源供应链的关键供应商。
官员们指出，资源储量增长增强了国家保障供给安全的能力。自然资源部承诺，在2026年至2030年的“十五五”规划期间，继续加速矿产勘探，以应对地缘政治风险下的资源安全挑战。
北京近年来加强了对稀有金属的出口管制，此举被视为对西方制裁的回应。该公告正值地缘政治竞争加剧之际，矿产资源已成为焦点。

China's Ministry of Natural Resources has published an atlas from two decades of marine geological surveys, mapping the location, concentration, and distribution of dozens of elements in seabed sediments, including rare earths, iron, manganese, and copper. State broadcaster CCTV reported the atlas as a 'master navigation map' for marine development and conservation, based on over 20,000 observation points. Researcher Dou Yanguang from the Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology said it enables precise targeting of resources and identification of sensitive ecological zones.

China is examining coal refuse as a potential source of critical metals including germanium, aluminium, lithium and gallium. The effort builds on existing coal processing infrastructure. A leading researcher noted both opportunities and technical challenges.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the Appalachian region contains an estimated 2.3 million metric tons of undiscovered, economically recoverable lithium—an amount it calculates could replace about 328 years of U.S. lithium imports at 2024 levels.
