纳米比亚铀资源勘查开发现状、投资环境与建议

Current situation of uranium resources exploration and development,investment environment and related exploration and development suggestions in Namibia

能源安全(尤其是核资源)的重要性在当今更为彰显,掌握世界主要铀资源和产铀国的勘查开发现状与投资环境,对我国天然铀企业进行海外铀资源勘查开发具有重要意义。文章基于最新数据分析认为:纳米比亚铀资源丰富,主要勘查开发铀矿类型为侵入岩型和表生型;2010~2022年,纳米比亚天然铀产量整体不断增加,增幅达到72%;铀资源勘查开发的进展主要体现在资源量新增、找矿空间拓展、潜在类型的发现以及部分暂停矿山重启等。纳米比亚总体上是开展铀资源勘查开发投资环境较优的国家,建议未来以我国现有企业控股矿山为中心,逐步辐射其周围地区乃至纳米比亚全境,分“三个层次”、采用“三种模式”进行纳米比亚铀资源勘查开发。

At present,the importance of energy security(especially uranium resources)has become more prominent.Real-time tracking of the exploration and development status and investment environment of major overseas uranium resources and uranium-producing countries is of great significance to support Chinese enterprises to go out for overseas uranium resource exploration and development.Based on the latest data,the uranium resources characteristics in Namibia have been systematically analyzed.The results show that Namibia is rich in uranium resources,and its main genetic types of uranium resources are intrusive and surfical deposits.From 2010 to 2021,Namibia's natural uranium production has overall increased with an increase of 76.6%.Exploration progress has been made in resource additions,prospecting space expansion,new potential type discoveries and some mine are expected to begin commercial production in the future.Namibia is generally a country with a better investment environment for uranium resources exploration and development.We think it’s a good pattern for our national enterprises to carry out uranium resources exploration and development in Namibia,that the existing mines controlled by Chinese enterprises can be taken as the center,and radiate uranium projects in the surrounding areas while paying attention to distance,production center sharing,etc.,and adopt three levels and three modes for Namibian uranium resources exploration and development.
