Abstract: This paper analyzes the exploration situation of Xinjiang’s mineral resources,and concludes that Xinjiang is a vital strategic alternative region for energy,non-ferrous and noble metals with huge potentials.Mining is a key drive to Xinjiang’s economy. Xinjiang’s mineral resources are marked by widely-spreading,abundant categories,developed logistics,large reserves,quality and rational structure of some mineral resources.Limited by its remote sites,poor natural conditions,unde-developed economy,and primitive geological works,lower technology and lack of science talents,Xinjiang’s mineral resources development stays a primary leve land a lower synthetic utilization level.This paper presents approaches to synthetic development and utilization of Xinjiang’s mineral resources.

Key words: mineral resources, exploration and development, synthetic utilization, Xinjiang

摘要： 文章对新疆资源勘查现状进行了分析,认为新疆是全国能源、有色金属、贵金属矿产后备资源的重要战略接替区,矿产资源开发利用潜在规模巨大。矿业是新疆经济发展的重要推动力。新疆矿产资源具有分布广、种类齐全、配套程度较高。部分矿种资源储量大、质量好、资源结构基本合理的特点。但由于新疆的地理区位偏远、自然条件差、经济欠发达、地质找矿工作相对落后、基础设施较差、科学技术水平较低、科技人才缺乏等原因,矿产资源开发利用尚存在开发方式粗放,综合利用水平较低等问题。在调查新疆矿产资源开发及综合利用现状,分析存在主要问题的基础上,提出了新疆优势矿产资源综合开发利用的对策及建议。
