Recently, the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" National Science and Technology Support Plan Project led by China Minmetals Corporation's Minmetals Exploration and Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Minmetals Exploration"), "Deep Rock Prospecting Technology of Xiuyan Iron (*) Mine" With the Prospecting Demonstration Research" passed the final acceptance test.

It is understood that this project will be led by Minmetals Exploration and adopt a scientific research model combining production, study and research. It will organize joint research projects by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Hefei University of Technology, the North China Exploration Bureau, and the Anhui Geological Survey Institute. The main task of the project is to study the Nihe iron ore as the typical object, and to study the genetic model and the comprehensive information prospecting model of the “玢岩型铁(*)矿” deposit in Anhui Handan volcanic rock basin, and to carry out comprehensive information target area prediction and mud The iron ore deposits are prospected in the periphery and deep.

Through the implementation of the project, researchers established the genetic model of the Nihe iron ore deposit, formed an effective deep mineral prospecting technology, conducted comprehensive geological and geophysical prospecting evaluations at the Nihe iron mine, and developed new Increased iron ore resources amount to 10 million tons, and forecasted prospective resources exceed 35 million tons.
