Considering on new round iron deposit exploration deployment

Since the beginning of 21 century,Chinese rapid economic development has driven high-rate increase of steel industry and demand and supply of iron ore.As a result,iron resource guarantee degree has been decreasing.China's steel industry will firstly access to low affected by the United States sub-loan crisis in 2009,but in future China demand for steel will remain the great.Greater potential for iron ore prospecting exists,including 500 meters below to the surface in the Estern China unexploration area in the metallogenic belts of the The Western China,and many known mineral concentration area.High demand for iron ore,the larger potential of iron resources and subloan crisis provide opportunities and challenges for new round iron exploration. The new round iron ore exploration should target the conceal ore deposit in the The Estern China,new found prospective zones of key Metallogenic belts in the The Western China,and the deep as well as peripherals of large and medium known iron deposit.More importantly,we should strengthen the iron ore-forming theory and method of prospecting techniques,to enhance aeromagnetic data and information updating and the secondary development,and explore and set up innovative mechanisms for geological exploration.
