The key technology of liquefaction development of low-grade solid potassium salt in Bieletan, Qinghai Province belongs to the national "863" plan. The responsible unit is the Institute of Mineral Resources, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, and the participating units are China Geological Environment Monitoring Institute, Qinghai Salt Lake Industry Group and Shijiazhuang Institute of Economics. Participants: Jiao Pengcheng, Li, Zhao, Hao, Wang Xingfu,, Liu Zhenying,. Main achievements in 2008: 13 salt minerals were identified in the experimental area of beileitan, Qinghai province, and it was determined that the solid potassium salt minerals in the stratum were mainly polyhalite, followed by carnallite and potassium salt. The average content of KCl in the experimental stratum is 2.24%; The contents of potassium ions and sulfate ions in the underground brine in the experimental area increased continuously and gradually stabilized during the dissolution process. The liquefaction effect of solid potassium salt was remarkable, and the quality of brine could meet the production requirements. The hydrodynamic conditions driven by potash liquefaction are revealed by chemical tracer and artificial radioisotope logging technology. It is concluded that the actual velocity of brine in the experimental area is 65438 0.56 m/d, the seepage velocity is 0.24m/d, and the flow direction of underground brine is 45. The average permeability coefficient of the experimental area is calculated to be1.20 m/d. According to the characteristics of Qinghai Salt Lake, Pitzer software is upgraded to Windows, and the temperature balance calculation software with independent intellectual property rights is developed. In 2008, the mid-term inspection was organized by the Office of Resources, Environment and Science and Technology of the "863" Plan, and the evaluation was excellent.

General survey and peripheral prospecting of rutile ore in Moshishan, Zhenglan Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region: jointly funded by the geological prospecting project of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the basic operating fund support project of the Central Public Welfare Research Institute and the National Natural Science Foundation. Main personnel: Li Daxin, Wu, Wang Peihua, Liu Guanghai, Gao, Feng Chengyou,. The main achievements of the project: Through the pre-investigation, general survey and research of the project team, the original Moshishan rutile deposit is a sedimentary metamorphic titanium deposit dominated by anatase, accompanied by rutile and ilmenite, and it is the first new type of titanium deposit in the world; It is determined that the scale of the deposit is large, and the titanium dioxide resources amount to 340,000 tons (333 tons), among which the rich ore is medium. Circle two important ore belts, Moshishan and Yangtizishan, including six rich ore bodies and 10 poor ore bodies. The titanium dioxide content of rich ore is 3. 14% ~ 15.46%, with an average of 6.9 1%. The exploration research shows that there are still prospecting prospects in the western part of Moshi Mountain, the central and eastern part of Yangtizi Mountain, the south side of M38 aeromagnetic anomaly, and the Quaternary and Upper Jurassic volcanic coverage areas in Tieshan Village of Taibus Banner. Although the particle size of titanium minerals in this mining area is very small, which is 0.0 1 ~ 0. 1mm, which brings difficulties to mineral processing, great progress has been made through the research of the project team. The general survey report and research report of the mining area were reviewed and approved by the Geological Exploration Project Office of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in June 2008.

Evaluation of mineral resources potential of important metallogenic belt in western China: It belongs to the project of land and resources survey, and its main members are Chen Yuchuan, Wang, Li Houmin, Xiao Keyan, Tang Juxing, Fu Xiaofang,. Guided by the theory of metallogenic dynamics and metallogenic series, the project established and improved the metallogenic system of important metallogenic belts represented by Tianshan Mountain in the west, the middle section of Sanjiang River in the southwest and Gangdise, and established the metallogenic (sub-) series of copper and gold polymetallic deposits related to magmatism in the late Mesozoic plate subduction stage of Gangdise metallogenic belt. The East Tianshan 10 metallogenic series and 18 metallogenic sub-series are determined. There are at least 26 metallogenic series and 50 metallogenic sub-series in the middle part of Sanjiang in the southwest, and on this basis, 55 grade III metallogenic belts in the west of China are further divided. The determination of the genesis and metallogenic age of Xiongcun in Tibet, Caixiashan and Qiaoxiahala in Xinjiang, Shuiyindong in Guizhou and Chahe in Sichuan has deepened the understanding of regional metallogenic regularity, expanded the prospecting direction and time and space, and improved the understanding of regional prospecting prospects and resource potential. The resource potential of important metallogenic belts in western China is qualitatively evaluated from the aspects of metallogenic geological basis, metallogenic information, new types, new discoveries, new understandings, new technologies, metallogenic series, metallogenic pedigree and metallogenic system. The location prediction and engineering verification of Xiongcun copper-gold mine in Tibet have been carried out, and great success has been achieved. A quantitative prediction and evaluation system of resource potential ("three-three formula") with three evaluation theories and methods, three evaluation steps and three evaluation results has been initially established, and a demonstration of quantitative prediction and evaluation of porphyry copper deposits in East Tianshan Mountain has been carried out, which provides technical support for future metallogenic prospect evaluation and zoning. It is pointed out that there are 10 metallogenic belts in the eastern Tianshan Mountains, 9 in the middle part of Sanjiang in the southwest and 14 in Gangdise, which provides a solid scientific basis for further deployment of geological prospecting work in the western region. From June 2008 to February 2008, it passed the acceptance of China Geological Survey with excellent results.
