摘要
本文梳理了过去二十多年全球有色金属勘探预算的投入情况,对同期全球各类矿种、区域、公司类型及开发阶段等进行了综合分析,初步得出以下启示。一是长期以来黄金是勘探的首选品种,而铜勘探预算持续保持稳中有进,随着全球能源转型对电池金属的高度关注锂、钴等勘探预算也得到有力支撑。二是初级矿业公司是全球勘探的主要驱动力,但过去十年以来聚焦草根项目的初级勘探公司锐减,而大型矿业公司成为勘探的主力军。三是随着初级勘探公司锐减当前勘探预算约有一半来自大型矿业公司,导致全球勘查投入向后期或勘探阶段转移趋势更明显,这对行业可持续发展是一个悲观的趋势。四是政府对境内、外勘查活动上的诸多优惠措施,使加拿大和澳大利亚等国成为保持勘探预算稳定并持续增长的国家。
This paper investigated global non-ferrous exploration budgets over twenty years,the comprehensive analyses in terms of mineral types,host countries or regions,company types as well as development phases of projects have been carried out,the primary implications set out as follows.Firstly,gold is constantly regarded as primary target of exploration,and the exploration budget of copper remains steadily stable,while exploration budgets of lithium and cobalt have underpinned by global energy transition.Secondly,junior exploration companies used to be the main drivers of global exploration budgets of grassroots projects,however,the number of junior exploration company plummeted,the major miners have been increasingly becoming the leading forces of exploration.Thirdly,more than half of global exploration budgets have been invested by major miners as drastic decrease of junior exploration companies,the concerning trend of exploration budgets transition into late-stage or exploration project is obvious.Fourthly,numerous favorable measures have been taken by governments of Canada and Australia,which lead to the stable and steady increase of exploration budgets of host countries.
