Focusing on deep ore use and extending the industrial chain to increase added value is the fundamental way to promote "rich ore and refined development". Make good use of the "rich mineral" resource endowment and expand the "intensive development" characteristic industry. Guizhou has made it clear that by 2027, it will form a resource intensive processing industry level of 500 billion yuan, providing strong support for building an important resource intensive processing base in China.

Looking at Guizhou, the reserves of 50 minerals rank among the top ten in China, of which 21 minerals rank among the top three in China. Developing rich mineral resources is an important measure for Guizhou to serve the national energy and resource security strategy. "Rich ore and refined development" has become a key move for Guizhou to give play to its comparative advantages to promote high-quality development, develop new quality productivity according to local conditions and build a modern industrial system.

During the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping, when attending the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation at the second session of the 14th National People's Congress where he was, stressed that we should firmly grasp the primary task of high-quality development and develop new quality productivity in line with local conditions. General Secretary Xi Jinping required that scientific and technological innovation achievements should be applied to specific industries and industrial chains in a timely manner, traditional industries should be transformed and upgraded, emerging industries should be cultivated and strengthened, future industries should be laid out and built, and modern industrial systems should be improved.

Focusing on the requirements of high-end, intelligent and green, Guizhou has thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, promoted the "rich ore refined development" with high quality, accelerated the transformation of raw materials to end consumer goods, low-end products to high-end products, and rough processed products to refined and deep processed products, converged the value chain innovation chain of the industry chain, and used chain thinking to "eat dry and squeeze out" resources.

　　 Industry chain extension: "chain owner+chain" strength and toughness

In Liuzhi Special Zone in early spring, the sound of mechanical construction resounded from the construction site of Guizhou Meijin Coal Coke Hydrogen Project. Backed by the resource highland of "Jiangnan Coal Capital", Guizhou Meijin Coal Coke Hydrogen Project is based on "coal" and "new" on the chain to speed up reshaping the new pattern of local industry.

In the future, the large plant area covering an area of about 1800 mu will open up four industrial chains of "coal coke electricity", "coal coke hydrogen", "coal coke chemical" and "coal coke gas". The dark coal can not only be used as power generation fuel, but also be made into more than 20 additional products such as fertilizer, liquefied natural gas and high-purity hydrogen, with an output value of 20 billion yuan.

The chain owner drives the traditional industry "old trees grow new", which not only enlarges the scale of the chain, but also improves the quality of the "chain".

Phosphate mining, phosphorus chemical industry and derivative industry are traditional competitive industries in Guizhou. He Guangming, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of Guizhou Phosphate Chemical Group, told reporters that in the past ten years, the average annual mining volume of Guizhou Phosphate Chemical Group has remained at about 14 million tons. Under the basically constant mineral consumption, the profits and taxes of enterprises have constantly refreshed the history. Last year's industrial output value exceeded 50 billion yuan for the first time.

The coupling of phosphorus chemical industry with coal chemical industry, fluorine chemical industry, iodine chemical industry, new energy battery and material industry has become an effective path for Guizhou Phosphate Chemical Group to optimize its stock and increase its growth.

In 2023, the group's new energy battery material sector alone will achieve a production capacity of 1.89 million tons, with fine chemical and new energy material products contributing more than 60% to the enterprise's revenue, and providing stable raw material supply for downstream enterprises such as Ningde Times and BYD.

In 2023, driven by leading enterprises such as Chinalco Guizhou, Guiyang bauxite and electrolytic aluminum will basically be converted and utilized on the spot, and the output value of aluminum processing will account for 45% of the whole industry, an increase of 32 percentage points over the end of the "13th Five Year Plan". The leading enterprises will radiate around and expand the regional influence of the industry.

"This year, we will not only aim at the three major mines located in Qingzhen to increase storage and production, but also extend the layout to the downstream, actively develop the processing and manufacturing of aluminum based new materials, strive to build a renewable aluminum resource base, and give play to the advantages and driving role of the 'full chain+industrial supporting' industrial chain." The secretary of the Party Committee and executive director of Guizhou Aluminum Plant Co., Ltd, He Fei, general manager of Guizhou Branch of Aluminum Corporation of China, said.

　 High value chain: improving quality, quantity and energy level

Doing a good job in "chain" articles can effectively enlarge the value of mining economy. According to the estimation of experts from the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, the value of coal, phosphorus and other 10 advantageous mineral resources in Guizhou is about 114 trillion yuan. Take phosphorus as an example. At present, the profit per ton of phosphate rock is about 500 yuan. After the production of lithium iron phosphate, the value of the ore will increase 6 times.

At present, the product category of Guizhou Guicai Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. has increased from the original single spraying variety to 11 product categories, with 4500 product series and 30000 product categories, covering all general products of aluminum alloy building materials.

At present, Guicai is accelerating the production of new energy battery trays. Last year, Guicai and the College of Mechanical Engineering of Guizhou University jointly developed the squeeze casting technology of 673 MPa aluminum lithium alloy. Based on this technology, the enterprise is expected to enter the new energy automobile aluminum profile track.

Aiming at "high-tech+cutting-edge", Guizhou aluminum profile industry has accelerated to the high-end of the value chain. According to the requirements of Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High Quality Development of Aluminum Industry in Guizhou Province, by 2027, a relatively complete aluminum industry chain will be formed, the level of industrial development and competitiveness will be significantly improved, and the total industrial output value of aluminum industry above the designated size will reach more than 80 billion yuan.

In recent years, the downstream products of Guizhou manganese resources have also run up the value curve in the market.

Guizhou Dalong Huicheng New Material Co., Ltd., founded in 2012, used to mainly produce electrolytic manganese. When the enterprise looked to the external market, it found that the price of manganese sulfate for batteries per ton was much higher than that of electrolytic manganese, which was only a primary processed product of manganese ore.

The enterprises saw the gap in comparison and also increased their drive. Through scientific research, the global market share of manganese sulfate produced by Huicheng New Material Company now reaches 60%, the products are shipped all the year round, and the production capacity of manganese tetroxide for lithium batteries is leading in China.

Stimulate the multiplier effect of industry and technology, and the result is the value increment brought by the new market. At present, there are 124 projects under construction with a total investment of 125 billion yuan in Guizhou Resources Deep Processing Base of more than 100 million yuan. In this strong development momentum, it can be predicted that new industrial advantages will continue to form and broad market space will be released accordingly.

　　 Innovation chain moving forward: scientific and technological breakthroughs add impetus

Power and energy storage battery manufacturing has become one of the most active industries with innovative factors.

Therefore, in the process of promoting the cluster of lithium battery industry, Bijie High tech Zone, in addition to making use of the energy advantages formed by local coal power, hydropower and wind power, as well as the supporting base of raw materials such as cathode materials, anode materials and electrolyte in the park, vigorously encourages enterprises to generate their own innovation factors.

Guizhou Guihang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., located in Bijie High tech Zone, has sold its high-performance lithium battery products to markets at home and abroad. For enterprises, innovation and production are equally important for sustainable development.

"We, together with the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Bijie High tech Zone, have jointly built the Southwest China Advanced Battery Research Center to provide research and development support for production. Production efficiency and product quality have been improved with technical support. After the fourth phase of the project is put into operation within the year, the daily output will increase from 350000 to 500000." said Zhang Zhongzhong, the executive director of Guihang New Energy.

Songtao, located in the "Manganese Triangle of China", has a history of mining manganese ore for more than 50 years. The "indigenous method" of improving manganese ore with sintering kilns and the energy consumption production of electrolytic smelting ore were popular, which caused local people to owe "environmental protection accounts", and the industrial development temporarily stalled.

Since then, it has been put on the development agenda by local manganese processing enterprises to seek benefits and vitality from technology.

Guizhou Wuling Manganese Industry Co., Ltd.'s production line for new materials made of lithium manganate and manganese slag and the deep processing of manganese downstream products has driven enterprises to achieve both economic and environmental benefits after technological breakthroughs in electrolytic passivation cleaning, secondary extraction of manganese slag, and reduction of manganese content in filter slag.
