南海海底矿物资源开发前景

随着陆地矿产资源的不断使用变少，海底矿物资源将成为社会经济发展和现代化建设的优质接替资源。为实现海洋强国战略，加快南海海底矿物资源的开发利用，亟需对海底的矿物资源重新评价。本文综合分析多年地质调查数据和近年来的重要研究进展，结合近年来载人潜器和ROV调查成果，梳理了南海海底矿物资源研究现状，研究南海海域锰结核、富钴结壳、多金属硫化物、富稀土沉积物、砂矿等类型资源的矿物特征和分布规律，评价多类型矿物的成矿远景，并总结分析南海海底矿物资源开发中可能存在的问题，以指导我国南海海底矿物资源潜力研究和满足勘探开发前景分析的迫切需求，并为南海海底矿物资源的开发和决策提供依据。

The prospect of submarine mineral resources development in the South China Sea

With the continuous exploit of terrestrial mineral resources, submarine mineral resources become a good replacement resource by social and economic development and modernization. In order to achieve ocean power country, we should accelerate to utilize the seabed mineral resources buried in South China Sea. Meanwhile, the development of marine intelligent equipment technology, re-evaluation of mineral resources on the seabed is required. This paper based on many years of geological survey data collection and literature search, in combination with HOV and ROV submarine surveys, combs the research status of seabed mineral resources, and studies the mineral characteristics of manganese nodules, cobalt-rich crusts, polymetallic sulfides, rare earth deposits, sand minerals and other types of resources in the South China Sea. Finally, we reveal the distribution law, evaluation of mineralization prospects of various types of minerals, and summary analysis of possible problems in the development of seabed mineral resources. We hope to meet the urgent needs of China to strengthen the research on the potential of seabed mineral resources in the South China Sea, and to provide basis materials of seabed mineral resources for government decision-making.
