China Confirms 174 Mineral Species and 119 Subspecies in Updated National Catalogue

Deep News10-13

China has officially confirmed that there are currently 174 mineral species and 119 mineral subspecies across the country, following the release of a new mineral resources catalogue.

The Ministry of Natural Resources, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, recently issued the Mineral Resources Catalogue, which further clarifies the number of mineral types in China and will serve as a foundational basis for the country's mineral resource planning.

The newly released catalogue was optimized and adjusted based on the previous Classification Details of Mineral Resources, dividing China's mineral resources into four categories: energy minerals, metallic minerals, non-metallic minerals, and water and gas minerals.

According to the catalogue, China currently has a total of 174 mineral species and 119 mineral subspecies.

The Ministry of Natural Resources emphasized that establishing the mineral resources catalogue gives minerals their own official registration, which will support the formulation of exploration and development indicators by mineral type, optimize layout, guide prospecting directions, and inform mining rights allocation.

On this basis, the catalogue will also facilitate the selection of strategic minerals for a special protection system, as well as the formulation of differentiated policies for exploration, extraction, reserves, and import and export.
