China launches new national strategy for potash geological prospecting

In order to cope with the shortage of potash resources and the severe monopoly of the global potash fertilizer market, China has launched a new national strategy for the prospecting of minerals in potash.

The reporter learned from the China Geological Survey on the 5th that this geological prospecting strategy recently supported by the national project is mainly directed at the shortage situation of China's potash resources and the grim situation of foreign monopoly alliances to control the potash market, in order to overcome the potash mine in China. The bottleneck of geological work has opened up new areas for geology for potassium, accelerated the establishment of a strategic supply base for China's potash resources, and ensured the safety of national resources.

This project was jointly recommended by the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Qinghai Province, and declared by the Institute of Mineral Resources, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences. It will learn from the experience of overseas marine potassium-seeking and domestic terrestrial potassium formation theory, aiming at drifting from multiple land masses in mainland China. The tectonic and environmental characteristics of the tectonic landformed by combining together the scientific proposition of “small-scale land-based potassium production” to analyze the potash-forming action and conditions of the land surface basin in the Xiaolu block, the potash-forming action and conditions of the Tethyan Basin and the potash formation in the residual basin. With conditions, etc., the coupling-response mechanism of tectono-climate-source and massive salt deposition disparities and potassium formation was elucidated, and the main controlling factors for the formation of large-scale super-large potassium salt deposits in ancient marine evaporative basins were revealed. Key issues such as reconstructing and remineralization after the deposition period of potash deposits, exploring the potash laws of ancient marine evaporation basins in China, and establishing a theoretical framework of "land-forming potassium" suitable for China's tectonic setting, providing a scientific basis for China's marine discovery of potassium breakthroughs. Based on technical support.

As a world agricultural country, China has a long-term shortage of potash, directly affecting national food security, and transnational capital monopolizes global potash mines. At present, the Ministry of Land and Resources has initiated a new round of potash resource survey and evaluation project for potash minerals protection projects, and plans to carry out scientific and scientific research on salt lake environment and potash resources in Ordos, Lanping, Simao, Sichuan and western Qaidam Basin. The kilometer-deep drilling project has invested 50 million yuan in 2010, and it plans to invest 100 million yuan annually in 2011-2015. Potash resource investigation and evaluation projects and the study of potash formation laws will effectively promote China's potash salt prospecting.
