Five departments issued an Implementation Plan for a Comprehensive Conservation Strategy to push resource-saving, intensive use of mineral resources and higher-quality, higher-efficiency use of strategic minerals. The plan tightens incentives and constraints on key indicators — mining recovery, ore-processing (beneficiation) recovery and comprehensive utilization rates — and directs re-evaluation of associated (co‑produced) and low‑grade strategic mineral deposits, encouraging integrated utilization. Target: raise the comprehensive utilization rate of major non-ferrous co-produced minerals by 2–3 percentage points by 2030 relative to 2025.
