China identified 200 non-oil and gas mineral deposits during 2025, a total that included 16 gold deposits and 11 iron deposits, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources China Mineral Resources 2026 report. The findings, reported by TradeArabia News Service, point to sustained growth in geological exploration investment and continued progress in locating new mineral resources.

The report was released at the 28th China Mining Conference and Exhibition in Tianjin. It also noted major breakthroughs in conventional oil and gas exploration, especially in new layers and zones within the Tarim and Junggar Basins.

Coal output for 2025 reached 4.85 billion tonnes, up 1.4 per cent from a year earlier. Crude oil production rose 1.5 per cent to 216 million tonnes, extending a run of growth to seven consecutive years. Natural gas output increased 6.3 per cent to 262.06 billion cubic metres.

Over the 2021-2025 Five-Year Plan period, China identified 398 new large and medium-sized strategic mineral deposits, with notable discoveries in copper, gold and potash.
