Mining, the pillar industry of Mongolia, is the focus of economic and trade cooperation between China and Mongolia.

Mongolia has superior geological conditions and rich mineral resources. Copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, uranium, lead, zinc, rare earth, iron, fluorite, phosphorus, coal, petroleum and so on have been proved.More than 80 minerals. Mineral products are one of its main export products, and coal exports account for a large proportion of Mongolia's exports. Most of the mineral products exported by Mongolia are shipped to China.2021In the first half of the year, Mongolia exported crude oil, iron ore, copper concentrate and zinc concentrate.100%To our country, coal94.7%Export to ChinaFluorite78.3%Export to our country. China deserves to be Mongolia's most important mineral trade partner.

Not only in trade, Sino-Mongolian mining cooperation also extends to various fields.In 2006, the China Geological Survey and the Mongolian Minerals and Petroleum Administration signed the firstAfter the cooperation agreement, the two sides started a series of cooperation projects and exchange activities such as geological survey and joint research. The mining cooperation between the two sides is deepening in engineering, technology, academic and other aspects, with complementary advantages and mutual benefit.

Just a few days ago, the Zongbayan-Hangji railway in the Eastern Gobi Province of Mongolia was officially completed. The construction of this project is precisely to connect with the railway in China to enhance the transportation of iron ore and other goods between the two sides. capacity.

The "Joint Statement" issued this time repeatedly mentioned that the two sides will expand cooperation in mineral energy projects and build infrastructure such as railways, highways, and ports. This is a signal that the two sides attach importance to the development of mining cooperation. Cross-border infrastructure interconnection, energy and resources trade and cooperation will become important tasks actively promoted by both sides.
