In order to do&nbsp;analytical work of&nbsp;important mineral resources and energy situation, research resources and mining supply and demand market, new trends and new problems of responses&nbsp;in the third quarter,2016 third mineral resources forum quarterly analysis of the situation held in Beijing during&nbsp;September 12 --13.&nbsp;Experts from the State Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of institutions, Chengdu University of Technology, mining listed companies, as well as coal, nonferrous metals, metallurgy, non-metallic and other mine-related trade associations, on the current macroeconomic situation mining, mining and other industry trends problem analyzes and research, said: this year, China's coal, iron ore, oil and gas, nonferrous metals, non-metallic mineral resources industry policy to production capacity, market to production, syndication freezing capacity and other factors, driven by the strong advance supply-side reforms, has shown positive results: the coal market supply and demand imbalance situation has improved, the market environment has undergone a positive change, national coal production fell more than the consumption drop, and the price rise, but the cash-strapped industry, operational difficulties and other issues are still outstanding.<br /> Iron ore prices fall out of the unilateral market since 2013, there have been bottoming out, a reasonable return, rational up the situation, but the global oversupply pattern did not change significantly, survival and development of the domestic mining face greater difficulties. Nonferrous metals industry remained stable overall operation of momentum, but mine production continued to drop, mining investment in fixed assets continued to decline, and the differentiation between different varieties of operating characteristics of metal protruding.<br /> Nonmetallic minerals go in production capacity, promote structural adjustment, the main indicators of mineral production, sales, and prices remained stable or upward trend, the industry tends to improve operational quality, but some minerals such as fluorspar, graphite, etc. , signs of excess capacity are still outstanding. Global oil and gas supply and demand pattern multipolarity has become increasingly evident, reducing the gap between supply and demand, and appeared in the structure; abandoned oil demand gas sign. Overall, China's mineral resources, market supply and demand fundamentals have a certain degree of adjustment.<br /> Experts point out that minerals consumption and stage of economic development of a country is closely related. Minerals from the intensity of use of the historical experience and international comparison, the developed countries had in mineral resources consumption peak plateau for a long time.<br /> Under the new situation, China's economic development has entered a new normal, the main minerals are still strong and stable demand, there will still be at least 15 years of the peak value of the overall consumption of major minerals.<br /> As a high-tech mining resource industry, will enter the world's resources, technology, personnel and market allocation era, the basic position and role of the mining industry will not change, but will have a new form of contact with the economic and social development. Promoting China's mining industry, not only the need to strengthen the resources and technological innovation, but also want to capacity, and actively protect the quality of effective capacity, and a correct view of the world's resources exploitation and utilization of resources industry management, current commodity prices recover, global resources and global resource management issues such as the construction of new infrastructure, to create mining economy upgrade.<br /> <div style="text-align:center;"> <img src="/upfiles/news/image/20160922/20160922094621_4359.jpeg" width="600" height="404" title="2016 3rd Quarter Situation Analysis of Mineral Resources Forum Held in Beijing" alt="2016 3rd Quarter Situation Analysis of Mineral Resources Forum Held in Beijing" /> </div>
