The United States is the largest mining country in the world. 197 The total output value of raw ore was147.3 billion USD, of which the output value of oil, natural gas and coal (i.e. energy minerals) was106.8 billion USD, and the output value of non-fuel minerals was 40.5 billion USD. That is, in the mining output value, energy minerals account for 72%.
The Soviet Union was once the largest mining country in the world. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia's mining output value began to drop sharply from 199 1. Russia 1995 total output value of raw ore was11500 million dollars, slightly lower than that of the United States. It is said that about 80% of Russian mining output value is fuel minerals.
In recent years, Russia's crude oil and coal production have decreased slightly, but natural gas production has rebounded. 1998 The total output value of Russian raw ore is estimated to be about 1000 billion US dollars.
Extended data:
Characteristics of mineral resources: there are four main types: exhaustion, concealment, unbalanced distribution and variability.
Mineral resources are an important material basis for economic and social development. The development and utilization of mineral resources is an inevitable requirement of modernization. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to it.
The documents of the Fifth and Sixth Plenary Sessions of the 16th CPC Central Committee put forward clear requirements for speeding up the construction of a resource-saving society, strengthening the geological exploration of important mineral resources, implementing rational exploitation and comprehensive utilization, and establishing and improving the paid use system and compensation mechanism for resource development.
The State Council has issued a series of documents, which comprehensively deployed the development and utilization of mineral resources from the aspects of geological exploration, mineral development, resource conservation, circular economy, environmental protection, land management, safe production, development and utilization of overseas resources, and development of coal industry.
To promote comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development, we must strengthen the rational utilization, protection and management of mineral resources.
