6月上旬，为期3天的2026中国探矿者年会落下帷幕。
尽管年会结束，但它引发了人们对内蒙古矿业经济发展多维度的思考。
Ao Nen, president of the Inner Mongolia Geological Survey Research Institute, said: “The annual meeting is held in Inner Mongolia, which not only recognizes our resource endowment and mineral prospecting results, but also reflects Inner Mongolia’s unremitting efforts to promote high-quality development of the mining economy through deepening cooperation.”
This deepening cooperation is reflected in the “two-wheel drive” between enterprises and local governments.

Its general manager Wang Xinlei said: “Our drilling rigs and drilling tools sell well in China and are now exported to more than ten Asian and African countries such as Kyrgyzstan and Zambia.” At present, the company is further expanding domestic and foreign markets to help the upstream industrial chain of Inner Mongolia’s mining economy extend to the terminal.
Feng Lin, sales manager of Shanghai Jinghua Geological Instrument Co., Ltd., which produces high-tech equipment for geological exploration, said: “Our equipment has been used to serve the green exploration and development of mines in China, and several Inner Mongolia companies are now discussing cooperation with us.”
Mongolia has the advantage of more than half of the minerals and sub-minerals, and recommends local coal, oil, natural gas, iron, manganese, graphite and other mineral resources and related mining rights to investors; Xilingol League relies on its superior mineralization conditions and well-guaranteed geological exploration and business environment to heavily promote the mining rights of some local coal fields, gold mines, copper polymetallic mines to investors.
“双轮驱动”背后有着深层次的发展背景，业内人士的建言献策不乏真知灼见。
Wu Qiang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out: “Inner Mongolia’s coal output ranks first in the country, and the level of green mining of natural resources continues to improve. In the next step, through technological innovation, if we can make further progress in efficient resource mining and deep processing, and the utilization of ‘three wastes’, Inner Mongolia’s mining economy will usher in a new period of major development opportunities.” China Mining Federation Expert Committee
Li Jinjin, chairman of the committee, believes: “Currently, facing the challenges of the external environment with increasing instability and uncertainty, only by firmly holding the ‘job’ of energy resources in our own hands can we seize the initiative in international competition and effectively prevent and resolve major risks such as ‘supply cutoffs’ and ‘stuck necks’ from the outside.”
At present, the global mineral resources pattern is undergoing profound adjustments, and ensuring the security of energy resources has become a major issue related to national economic security and strategic interests.
“心系国运 筑基未来”这一2026中国探矿者年会主题给出了回答。
Cheng Liwei, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the China Mining Federation, said: “Caring about the national destiny is a gene that has been inherited and deeply rooted in the geological and mining industry for nearly a century; building a foundation for the future is the spirit of a strong country that all mining workers are constantly striving for.”
The autonomous region’s “15th Five-Year Plan” outline sets goals and tasks for the development of Inner Mongolia’s mining economy, including in-depth implementation of a new round of strategic actions for mineral prospecting breakthroughs, innovation of mineral resource exploration systems and mechanisms, and improvement of “exploration-production-supply-storage-
销”统筹和衔接体系、推进重要战略性矿产高质高效综合利用等。
During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, Inner Mongolia successfully completed the 13 strategic mineral reserves increase tasks set by the state, and a number of advantageous and strategic minerals such as coal, iron, and lithium achieved substantial increases in reserves; the region has sold nearly 200 mining rights, with transfer income exceeding 67 billion yuan.
Up to now, Inner Mongolia has identified 152 types of minerals with resource reserves, and 20 types of mineral resources rank first in the country. Ordos, Baotou and other places have formed a relatively complete resource intensive processing industry chain system.
专家学者们也为内蒙古矿业经济在增储上产、科技赋能、绿色转型上提出了路径。
Li Jinfa suggested focusing on key minerals to accelerate breakthroughs in prospecting and consolidate the position of superior mineral resources; Wu Qiang proposed accelerating the modernization and intelligent upgrading of geological equipment; Si Yongmei, chief economist of the Inner Mongolia Macroeconomic Research Center, emphasized adhering to ecological priority, green development, and promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
Aonen revealed that this year the autonomous region has invested 850 million yuan in financial investment to carry out 185 basic geological surveys and strategic mineral exploration projects, and reserve 165 mineral rights transfer blocks.
Standing at the intersection of the past and the future, Inner Mongolia’s mining economic development journey has a long way to go and a bright future. Inner Mongolians are moving towards a tomorrow of high-quality development of the mining economy.
