On Oct.21, 2015, In the seminar of Uranium products of CHINA MINING 2015, Mr. Zhang Jindai, Deputy Director t and Chief Engineer of Dept of Geology & Mining, CNNC said that since the new century, with the new breakthroughs in the exploration of Uranium resources, China has been qualified of establishing the large-scale bases for Uranium exploration.
Zhang Jindai said that the new century witnessed his company’s switch of focus of Uranium exploration on the south to on both the south and the north. A batch of large-scale and super-huge types of Uranium ore deposits were discovered and the Uranium exploration found its second ore-prospecting space of 500-1500 meters deep. In southern China, with the eminent improvement of the technology of exploring deep Uranium ore, prospecting in depth and outside has made great achievement in the old mining fields in Xiangshan, Jiangxi, northern Guangdong, southern Zhuguang, Xiazhuang, and Miao’ershan, northern Guangxi where 30,000-ton Uranium fields have been established. In northern China, great breakthroughs have been made in the prospecting of Uranium in Meso-Cenozoic period 6 large-scale Uranium mining fields were discovered in Ili, Tuha, Erdos, Erenhot, Tongliao, Bayin Gobi, dozens of tens of thousands-ton super huge Uranium deposits were developed and Erdos Basin has become the first 10,000-ton Uranium base in China.
Zhang Jindai said that the CO2+O2 in-situ leach mining technology independently developed by his company was the third-generation Uranium exploration technology which has found its application in the large-scale industry. This technology could provide reliable support in the exploration of sandstone-type deposit in northern China. With this technology, the first ever thousand-ton green Uranium mining field would be established in Xinjiang, some projects have finished the construction of their main parts in Inner Mongolia and some projects have completed the on-site trial. The in-situ leach sandstone has improved its production capacity from 27% in the end of “the 11th Five-year Plan” to 62%. In the south, with the focus on Jiangxi, and Guangdong Uranium mining bases, the surrounding projects around the active mines were being developed along with the optimization of the structure of stock capacity.

About CHINA MINING
Since first held in 1999, the scope and influence of CHINA MINING has grown rapidly year by year. As a global mining summit forum and exhibition, CHINA MINING Congress and Expo has become one of the world’s top mining events, and one of the world’s largest mining exploration, development and trading platforms, covering all aspects of the whole mining industry chain, including geological survey, exploration and development, mining rights trading, mining investment and financing, smelting and processing, mining techniques and equipment, mining services, etc. playing an active promotion role in creating exchange opportunities and enhancing mutual cooperation between domestic and foreign mining enterprises.
CHINA MINING Congress and Expo 2015 will be held at Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center in Tianjin on October 20th-23rd, 2015. We invite you to join the event and to celebrate the 17th anniversary of CHINA MINING with us. For more information about CHINA MINING 2015, please visit: www.chinaminingtj.org.
