The Global Mining Development Report 2026 Released: Global Mining Enters an Era of Overlapping Transformation

```html【"Global Mining Development Report 2026" Released: Global Mining Enters a Period of Multiple Overlapping Transformations】On September 11, at the 2026 China International Mining Conference, the Chinese Geological Survey and China Mining News Agency officially released the "Global Mining Development Report 2026." The report indicates that, driven by the global energy transition and compounded by supply chain fluctuations and international rule competition, the global mining industry is entering a period of overlapping transformations characterized by a dominance of security logic, technological revolution reshaping, and a reconstruction of governance rules. In 2025, the global supply and demand structure for mineral resources will accelerate adjustments, with clear differences among various mineral types: demand for energy minerals is generally slowing, oil supply exceeds demand, and natural gas production and consumption are rising in tandem; bulk minerals diverge, with steel supply declining and demand rising, copper and zinc seeing simultaneous growth in both supply and demand, and aluminum experiencing declines in both supply and demand; strategic emerging minerals are generally oversupplied, with excess in nickel and lithium deepening; precious metals face tight supply and demand, with platinum and silver supply unable to meet demand, and gold remaining in a tight balance.
