Nickel Resources at Home and Abroad and Its Development

       Although nickel is a series of small metal varieties, but its importance is increasing, has become the development of modern aviation industry, the defense industry and the establishment of human high level of material and cultural life of the modern system indispensable metal.



However, from the resources, China's nickel supply is a serious shortage of external dependence has not been effectively improved, and has become a follow-up related to the development of resources related to the main reasons.Therefore, it is of great practical significance to analyze and study the present situation of nickel resources development at home and abroad, and to rationally lay out the nickel industry, formulate scientific resource strategy and effective response measures.



China's nickel ore type is divided into two major categories of copper sulfide and nickel laterite, but mainly copper sulfide nickel ore, accounting for about 90% of the total, and the associated minerals, comprehensive utilization of high value; The mine accounts for about 10% of the total.Compare with the opposite of the overall situation in the world.



At the same time, China's nickel resources situation is not optimistic, the recent further discovery in the country Jinchuan mining area such a large nickel ore resources is unlikely, because there is no new large-scale mineral resources support, China's nickel shortage of resources will become increasingly prominent.



However, compared with foreign resources, China's nickel ore resources has two notable features: First, the ore grade is more rich, the average nickel more than 1% of the nickel sulfide ore accounts for about 40% of the country; Second, China's nickel resources are highly concentrated, Gansu, Shanxi, Jilin and Xinjiang, Sichuan Province, nickel reserves accounted for about 97.7% of the total, especially in Gansu, its nickel reserves accounted for about 84% of the total.



China's exploitation of nickel resources started in the twentieth century, the sixties, through decades of efforts, China's nickel resources development and utilization has been rapid development.At present, China has formed a relatively matching mining, election and metallurgical comprehensive production capacity and equipment level in the field of nickel resources. However, due to the deep burial of nickel resources in China, the vast majority of need for underground mining, mining costs increased year by year, and then directly affect Resources of the market competitiveness.



As the world's major nickel consumption countries or regions, such as Japan, the United States, South Korea, Germany and China Taiwan, they are basically completed the process of industrialization, consumption of nickel has become saturated, so the future of the world's nickel consumption for the Chinese market.
