利好！八部门重磅发布，提升稀有金属应用水平

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, along with eight other departments, has issued the "Work Plan for Stable Growth in the Nonferrous Metal Industry (2025-2026)", aiming for an average annual growth of around 5% in the industry's added value and a 1.5% increase in the production of ten nonferrous metals during this period [1][3]. Group 1: Industry Growth and Development - The nonferrous metal industry is expected to maintain a positive economic performance, with significant progress in the domestic resource development of copper, aluminum, and lithium [3]. - The production of recycled metals is projected to exceed 20 million tons, with continuous enhancement in the supply capacity of high-end products and advancements in green, low-carbon, and digital development [3]. Group 2: Resource Exploration and Utilization - A new round of mineral exploration strategies will be implemented, focusing on copper, aluminum, lithium, nickel, cobalt, and tin, to achieve new exploration results [3]. - The plan includes supporting the establishment of recycling bases for nonferrous metals and the comprehensive utilization of emerging solid waste, such as used batteries and photovoltaic components [3]. Group 3: Innovation in High-End Products - The industry will focus on innovation in high-end products to meet the demands of key sectors like new-generation information technology and electric vehicles, including breakthroughs in ultra-pure metals and high-performance materials [4]. - The implementation of a quality engineering program aims to guide enterprises in enhancing product quality, thereby creating new demand through high-quality supply [4]. Group 4: Upgrading Metal Consumption - The plan emphasizes the promotion of high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum materials and advanced copper products in sectors such as new energy vehicles and aerospace [5]. - Long-term procurement agreements are encouraged to establish stable partnerships between upstream and downstream enterprises, mitigating raw material price fluctuations [5]. Group 5: Project Construction and Resource Development - The plan outlines measures to expedite the approval and construction of mineral resource development projects through streamlined processes and enhanced resource allocation [6]. - A scientific layout for projects related to alumina, copper smelting, and lithium carbonate is proposed to avoid redundant low-level construction and improve investment effectiveness [6].
