On April 30, 2026, China released the results of a new round of breakthroughs in mineral exploration, marking the successful conclusion of the 14th Five Year Plan mineral exploration breakthrough strategic action. During this period, 398 strategic mineral deposits of large and medium-sized were newly discovered, including 225 large and medium-sized oil and gas fields, and 13 billion ton oil fields and 26 billion cubic meter gas fields were added. Significant breakthroughs have been made in the exploration of major mineral resources such as copper, gold, and potassium salts, while strategic emerging minerals such as lithium and helium have achieved leapfrog development. The reserves of 14 mineral resources, including rare earths and tungsten, rank first in the world. This achievement significantly enhances resource security capabilities, solidifies the foundation of energy and resource security, and provides strong support for high-quality economic development and industrial chain security and stability.
