China is expected to find large lithium deposits in the Himalayan metallogenic belt

According to the official news of the China Geological Survey, from August 20 to 22, in order to speed up the implementation

 of the new round of strategic action plan for mineral exploration breakthrough of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the

 China Geological Survey, vigorously promote the construction of the Himalayan metallogenic belt and large-scale resource bases,

 the academic seminar on the progress of lithium tin exploration in the Himalaya and the construction of large-scale resource 

bases was held in Shannan, Xizang.

IT Home Note: A mineralization zone, also known as a mineralization zone or belt, is an area with common geological structures,

 geological development history, and mineralization processes. It is distributed in a narrow strip shape called a belt (with a length

 to width ratio greater than 2), and a zone with a similar length to width ratio (less than 2:1).

The conference focuses on the exploration progress and direction of lithium beryllium tin and other large resource bases in the 

Himalayan metallogenic belt, summarizes the research results and exploration progress of the Himalayan collision orogeny

 process and lithium beryllium tin polymetallic mineralization laws, analyzes the key scientific issues that restrict the construction

 of resource bases, and discusses the deployment direction of resource base construction work. Experts and scholars from China

 Geological Survey, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xizang Autonomous Region Geological Survey, Nanjing University, China 

University of Geosciences (Beijing) and other units and universities made conference reports.

The meeting believes that the Chengdu Geological Survey Center and other units have long been rooted in the Himalayan 

metallogenic belt to carry out geological survey work. Based on a detailed analysis of the structure and material architecture

 of the Cuonadong dome in the eastern Himalayas, they have innovatively proposed a new model of Himalayan magma dome

 rare metal mineralization. In 2023, a large tin polymetallic deposit was discovered in the Longzi Xianglin area using this model, 

and a new pegmatite type lithium deposit was discovered in the Luozhagabo area. Since the beginning of this year, the deployment

 and implementation of basic drilling in the Gabo area has achieved significant breakthroughs in mineral exploration, and is expected

 to submit the first large-scale lithium deposit in the Himalayan metallogenic belt.

The meeting pointed out that the Himalayan tectonic belt is an important component of the East Tethys tectonic domain, which

 has developed the world's largest high-resolution light colored granite belt and has great potential for lithium beryllium tin

 polymetallic mineralization and prospecting. We need to coordinate the strengths of the bureau system and select a group 

of key areas with great resource potential and the ability to quickly achieve breakthroughs in mineral exploration. At the same time,

we will increase efforts in basic geological surveys and technological breakthroughs, create a model of coordinated linkage between

 the central, local, and enterprise levels, and promote the construction of large-scale resource bases such as lithium and tin in the

 Himalayan metallogenic belt.
