Link: ??????????????_????_?????????通过产学研联合攻关,首次发现了冈底斯、念青唐古拉、班公湖-怒江三大巨大成矿带,发现了驱龙、甲玛、雄村等7个超大型和25个大型矿床。其中,驱龙铜矿储量1036万吨,规模跃居国内第一,相当于20个标准大型铜矿。甲玛铜多金属矿相当于10个标准大型铜矿、5个标准大型金矿。预计整个青藏高原矿产资源总量可达铜8000万吨,金2000吨,铅锌3000万吨,有望成为我国最大的资源储备基地。新发现的32个大型―超大型矿床,潜在经济价值2.7万亿元。
China has had a shortage on copper for the longest time, forcing the military to use steel to manufacture much of its ammunitions, especially for small arms. Steel round shells are bulkier as well as less precise. With the discovery of this, the problem can be remedied once and for all.
For those of you that can't read Chinese, basically they discovered a copper deposit estimated to contain 10.36 million tons. Tibet is estimated to contain 80 million tons of mineral deposit in total (2000 tons of gold and 30 millon tons of lead/zinc). This is just the beginning however, as only a small fraction of Tibet has been charted by government geological services in China.
P.S. Changtang region in Tibet was also discovered to contain about 20 million tons of oil reserve a few years back.
