[Industrial Advantages] The nonferrous metals industry is the largest pillar industry of Jiangxi Province. The energy consumption dual controls, dual carbon policies, and the new connotations of high-quality development have put forward new requirements for strengthening and expanding the nonferrous metals industry. Promoting the further healthy, rapid, and orderly development of the nonferrous metals industry and enhancing its core competitiveness is an inevitable requirement for transforming from a province rich in nonferrous metal resources to a province with a strong nonferrous metals industry, and is also an important lever for Jiangxi to achieve carbon peaking by 2030. Leveraging Jiangxi Province's abundant nonferrous mineral resources, Jiangxi's nonferrous metals industry has developed rapidly, with continuously expanding scale and improving standards. It has become Jiangxi's largest pillar industry and is currently a key "trillion-yuan-level" industry being cultivated in Jiangxi. It is the undisputed "ballast stone" of Jiangxi's manufacturing sector. Jiangxi has become an important nonferrous metal ore mining and production site in China. Jiangxi Province enjoys superior metallogenic geological conditions and abundant mineral resources, making it one of China's important bases for nonferrous metals, rare metals, rare earth, and uranium minerals, with a relatively high degree of mineral resource complementarity. Jiangxi's seven major categories of minerals — copper, tungsten, rare earth, uranium, tantalum-niobium, gold, and silver — are known as the "Seven Golden Flowers." According to Jiangxi Province's "2+6+N" Action Plan for High-Quality Leapfrog Industrial Development, the province's nonferrous metals industry plans to achieve a trillion-yuan level in main business revenue. To promote the healthy development of Jiangxi Province's nonferrous metals industry, facilitate foreign economic and trade cooperation, and guide Jiangxi's nonferrous metals industry to align with international standards, the Organizing Committee, after conducting multiple in-depth grassroots surveys and project analyses with government authorities and industry associations, has decided to hold the "4th China (Jiangxi) International Nonferrous Metals and Metallurgical Industry Exhibition, 2027" at the Nanchang Greenland International Expo Center on March 28-30, 2027. We look forward to seeing you there.
