New quality productive forces and new pattern of mineral resources

According to the theory of giant system of mineral resources security, the scientific and technological subsystem is the original driving force, which drives the change of the economic subsystem, and the change of the economic subsystem will drive the change of the geopolitical subsystem, and at the same time, the change of the natural subsystem will also cause the change of other subsystems, and the change of each subsystem will have a significant impact on the mineral resources subsystem. Guided by the theory of giant system of mineral resources security, this paper analyzes the impact of new quality productive forces, climate change, and geopolitics on the global mineral resources pattern: the development of new quality productive forces is changing the industrialization development model, and it is more difficult for late-developing countries to undertake industrial transfer, the status of existing mineral resources consumption centers may be consolidated, and the emergence of new consumption centers is more difficult; new quality productive forces will change the ultimate form of human mineral resource use, fossil energy is no longer used as energy but as a material, and metals become the source of energy; the demand for energy from artificial intelligence will increase significantly, and the competition for energy will intensify; the decoupling and disconnection of the chain in the United States is undermining the security of global mineral resources, and the existing mineral resource reserves are difficult to meet future demand. It is suggested that all countries in the world should take measures to ensure supply: firstly, strengthen international cooperation; secondly, increase exploration efforts; thirdly, strengthen the recycling of mineral resources; fourthly, increase the development and utilization of low-grade and co-associated resources; fifthly, increase the economical utilization of resources.
