Analysis of explorative and exploitative degree of China coal resources

Synthesizing the previous qualitative analysis results of explorative and exploitative degree of China coal resources, taking the resources property, explorative and exploitative property of total resources, reserved resources, predicted resources and unused resources as the basis for explorative degree index and exploitative degree index analysis and evaluation on shallow coal resources, the paper concluded that the explorative degree of shallow coal resources decreases obviously from the east to the west and from the north to the south, the exploitative degree decreases obviously from the east to the west, but not obviously from the north to the south. East Inner Mongolia, Jin-Shan-Meng-Ning and North Xinjiang are the most potential regions for future exploration and exploitation. The result provided certain theoretical basis and practical guidance for enclosing potential block and making exploration and exploitation strategy in the next period.
