Mineral resources are an important part of natural resources, and an important material foundation for the development of human society. Great achievements have been obtained in the survey and development of China's mineral resources in the past five decades since the founding of New China. A great number of mineral resources have been verified, and a fairly complete system for the supply of mineral products has been established, providing an important guarantee for the sustained, rapid and healthy development of the Chinese economy. 矿产资源是自然资源的重要组成部分，是人类社会发展的重要物质基础。新中国成立五十多年来，矿产资源勘查开发取得巨大成就，探明一大批矿产资源，建成比较完善的矿产品供应体系，为中国经济的持续快速协调健康发展提供了重要保障。
