中 CCTV "Found a 20 million-ton copper mine in Tibet"

A new mine containing more than 20 million tons of copper has been discovered in the Qingjiang Highlands across northwestern China's Qinghai province and southwestern Tibetan Autonomous Region, according to reports.

China's state-run CCTV said the Qingjiang Highlands are expected to become a global copper resource base.

According to an announcement by China's Ministry of Natural Resources in November last year, copper reserves in China were 4,647,900 tons.

CCTV added that an additional 3.65 million tons of copper resources were found deep in the DuBao Mountain copper mine in Heilongjiang province in northeastern China.
