International Cooperations
Zhong Ziran Met with Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Canada
On September 11, President of China Geological Survey (CGS) Zhong Ziran met with Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Canada Bob Hamilton and his delegation. Both sides conducted in-depth exchanges in the fields of geology and mining cooperation and reached consensus on relevant issues.
Zhong Ziran expressed his warm welcome to Bob Hamilton and his delegation on behalf of Ministry of Land and Resources. He said China and Canada were both big countries with rich geological and mineral resources, which laid a solid foundation for cooperation, and CGS had desire to work closely in wider fields and at a higher level. Firstly, on the basis of memorandum of understanding on cooperation, high-level exchanges should be maintained and full play given to the roles of the Steering Committee of Geology and Mineral Resources to identify projects for cooperation, promote mutual investment and pragmatic cooperation. Secondly, further consolidate such collaboration platforms as Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC)’s Annual Meeting and China Mining. Thirdly, continue to organize mining workshops to conduct exchanges on administration of mineral resources. Fourthly, continue to collaborate on projects to promote landslide monitoring, geochemical tests and analysis, etc.; continue to work with the Ministry of Natural Resources Canada and provincial mining agencies to strengthen three-dimensional geological mapping, enhance the collaboration in green mining and prospecting in depths of mines; continue to promote investment for mutual benefits and support staff training of both sides.
Bob Hamilton noted that there was a broad space for cooperation in the fields of geology and mining, especially in such areas as technological innovation and green mining. And he expected China and Canada will make more cooperation progress in the future.
