On October 22, the Global Mineral Resources Strategy Research Center of the China Geological Survey released the "Global Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel, Tin, and Potash Mineral Resources Reserve Assessment Report (2021)". This is the first professional report formed by a Chinese research institution based on the independently established global mineral reserves data system. It is also an important basic information provided by Chinese research institutions for the investment and operation of international mining companies, the docking of global resource supply and demand, and the cooperation and prosperity of the "Belt and Road" mining industry. Products and services. The assessment report system collected "first-hand" data from 3168 mining projects around the world, comprehensively and objectively reflecting the reserves and distribution characteristics of five mineral resources of lithium, cobalt, nickel, tin and potash in the world. Data show that as of 2020, the global lithium ore (lithium carbonate) reserves of 0.128 billion tons, resources of 0.349 billion tons, mainly distributed in Chile, Australia, Argentina, Bolivia and other countries. Cobalt reserves of 6.68 million tons, resources of 23.44 million tons, Congo (DRC), Indonesia, Australia and other countries the most rich. Nickel ore reserves are 90.63 million tons and resources are 0.26 billion tons. Indonesia ranks first in the world in reserves, and Australia, Russia and other countries are rich in resources. The reserves of tin ore are 3.27 million tons and the resources are 8.07 million tons. China, Russia, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions are the main producing areas of tin ore. The global reserves of potash (potassium chloride) are 12.9 billion tons, and the resources are 43 billion tons. Russia, Canada, Belarus, and Turkmenistan account for 80% of the world's reserves. Russia has surpassed Canada to become the largest country in potash reserves. From the consumption side, the global consumption of lithium (lithium carbonate) in 2020 is about 400000 tons, cobalt is about 170000 tons, nickel is about 2.4 million tons, tin is about 380000 tons, and potassium salt (potassium chloride) is about 54 million tons. Compared with the existing reserves, the global lithium, nickel, potassium salt resources security degree is higher, cobalt, tin security degree is relatively low. (Xinhua)
