Character business card

Pan Tong, born in June 1966 in Ledu, Qinghai, chief engineer of Qinghai Geological Mineral Exploration and Development Bureau. For more than 30 years, he has insisted on fighting on the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau and conducted research on the field of mining survey, mineral jet -sedimentation, and earth chemical exploration. In the province's only Li Siguang Geological Science Award winner. He has presided over the implementation of a number of major projects and the project design and report review of geological projects. Together with colleagues, he has found nearly 10 large and medium -sized minerals with colleagues.

The thick lens, thin body, and outdoor clothing seem to be ready to go to the wild at any time. The first time I saw Pan Tong was in a office on the 12th floor of the Geological Mineral Survey and Development Bureau of Qinghai Province. In addition to the layers of information, several new ore specimens, there is also a mineral resources distribution map: Char Khan potassium salt ore, summer nickel nickel ore, Wulonggou gold ore, Xitai Mountain Lead -zinc ore ... Minerals in remote areas found that the career of the geological man was connected in series.

In 1988, after graduating from Guilin Metallurgical Institute (now Guilin University of Science and Technology), Pan Tong returned to Qinghai in his hometown. Crossing the towering Kunlun, turning over Qilian Dazaka, measuring the Chaidama Basin ... In more than 30 years, he and his colleagues accompanied the mountains as the mountains, walking through the Gobi deserted beach, and exploring the earth treasures on the vast plateau.

In the wild, climbing the mountains, although the exploration is bitter, but happy to be among them

"The power of the example is endless." This sentence is quite appropriate on Pan Tong.

At the end of the 1970s, the movie "Li Siguang" was released across the country. The colorful images on the movie make Pan Tong's eyes open, and the image of a respectable geologist was deeply imprinted in his mind. "Although I didn't know exactly what the geology was studying, I just wanted to learn and want to be a person like Li Siguang." In the college entrance examination in 1984, Pan Tong resolutely applied for the Department of Geochemical Survey of the Guilin Metallurgical Institute.

Four years of professional learning allowed him to feel the broad -minded geology, and let him have a new understanding of his hometown: "The Himalayan Mountain Mountain Campaign, which lasted tens of millions of years, and gave birth to a rich mine in the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau. , Full of stratigraphy development, diverse types of deposits, frequent magma activities, strong construction movements, and good mining conditions. "In 1988, after graduating from college, Pan Tong returned to work in Qinghai and became Qinghai, the Nonferrous Geological Mineral Explanation Bureau of Qinghai Province. A staff member of the Wild Units of the Color Team.

"Dry food, sleeping tents, and climbing mountains. Needless to say, in order to complete the task of large -scale geological census, we divide them into one group every three people, and we must ride dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers a day. It is necessary to look at the appearance, mine samples, measurement of production, and investigation. The mountain road is steep, and some places can't even go. Three people need to carry nearly 100 pounds of samples back. Tired After a while; thirsty, drink saliva and continue to move forward. "Recalling these experiences, Pan Tong said:" Choosing this industry, destined to suffer, but also happy. "

Starlight live up to passers -by. By creative deployment of 1: 50000 water sediment in the profit -making area, Pan Tong and colleagues discovered the Guding Copper Cobalt Mine and the Golden Mine of Guolongwa in Qinghai. , Halashan copper ore, pile of lead zinc ore, etc.

Behind these achievements is accompanied by various dangers. "Broken in the wild, we fishing and picking mushrooms to pick up hunger; when we encountered wolves, we knocked on iron films and drove out of fire. Once, I leaned the horse through a freezing hillside and suddenly fell into the cliff with a sliding horseshoe. The area of ​​the reins also slipped to the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, it was blocked by a tree ... Now think about it! "Pan Tong said.

For more than 30 years, hundreds of times, hundreds of times, the system divides the northern edge of the Chaidama Basin to make a mining unit

On the surface, a geological hammer, a magnifying glass, and a compass is almost all home to the north and north. But in fact, mineral exploration is a wide range of fields involving a wide range of fields, and it is inseparable from the mastery of knowledge such as physics, chemistry, biology, and meteorology.

"How to improve the accuracy of exploration work?" With the continuous accumulation of work experience, this question lingers in Pan Tong's heart. In 1992 and 2001, Pan Tong successively admitted to a master's degree in mineral surveys and exploration of the Central South University of Technology (now Central South University) and a doctoral student at Jilin University Mining Studies.

Focusing on the topic of Shuobo's thesis, Pan Tong proposed a series of theories of Dongkunlun Mining with cobalt mines on the basis of a large number of field surveys and interior test analysis. Using this theory, Pan Tong and colleagues not only discovered the KFC cobalt mines, but also newly discovered the cobalt ore on the known ore, such as the Temple Iron Cobalt Mine and Dudu cold groove copper cobalt ore.

"The charm of geological exploration is not limited to the moment when the mine is found, even if it seems to have nothing to find nothing. In the depths of the folds and faults, the squeezing and changes that decipher the peaks when the peaks are born are also a pleasure." With such interest and love, Pan Tong and colleagues trek each other in the Gaoshan Canyon again and again, watching the geomorphic river bed, and exploring the geological structure. From the early sample quality assurance, to the data analysis in the later period, and then to propose theoretical understanding, they are diligent and never stop. In Pan Tong's mind, around the Chaidama Basin is the "cornucopia" of mineral exploration, which is also the place where he has the most time and energy. For more than 30 years of running, hundreds of times of exploration, Pan Tong systematically divided the northern edge of the Chandam Basin, and combined with the scarce metal elements of the region, it proposed the prospects of exploration in rare metal mines, and and of. Through expert demonstration. In 2018, in the process of 1:25000 water sedimentary noodles in the area, he and his colleagues found 34 rare comprehensive abnormalities. Three of the lithium mines were found from which scale.

The National Youth Geological Technology Gold Hammer Award, the National May Day Labor Medal, the title of National Advanced Workers, the Li Siguang Geological Science Award ... Faced with honor, Pan Tong is very modest: "Our Qinghai Provincial Geological Mineral Explanation and Development Bureau for more than 60 years, Many seniors and colleagues dedicated their lives on the front line of the prospects. Honor belongs to all the minerals. I can only cherish and work hard. "

Carry out the analysis of the Chaidama Mining system to improve the capacity of salt lake resources

After passing the Wanzhang Salt Bridge, to the salt lake terminal, in Chalhan Salt Lake Scenic Area located in the Haixi Mongolian Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province, on the 5,800 square kilometers of land covered with salt flowers, the green and crystal potassium salt is boundless. The herdsmen benefit from the salt lake Resources, tourists marvel at its beauty, but in Pan Tong's eyes, "there are countless research topics in the salt lake!"

Potassium salt is an important mineral raw material for potassium fertilizers. As an important potassium supply production base in my country, how to improve the guarantee capabilities of the potassium salt resources of the Chaidamu Basin salt lake is the focus of Pan Tong and colleagues in recent years.

"Since 2018, we have continuously discussed and summarized the characteristics of salt -based minerals in the Qaidam Basin and summarized the rules of storage. Establishing and analyzing. Theoretical results are constantly guiding production. Newly discovered more than 100 million tons of potassium chloride salt resources and obtained 5 invention patents. "Pan Tong told reporters," In 2019, we set up a special studio to focus on key explorations. Work, there are currently 17 main members of the team, basically the backbone of the post -80s and post -90s generations. Everyone goes out and studies together.

"Belief in the heart, helping together ..." This is a small poem made by Pan Tong after marrying his wife Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan said: "This is also our true portrayal of life over the years." In Zhou Yan's view, the exploration work has shaped Pan Tong's strong character. "Usually after work, he always rushed home for the first time. No matter what difficulties encountered outside, he was always happy at home and was busy with his family."

The earth is speechless. Only those who work hard can live up to time. "Next, we will focus on the depths of potassium lithium brine salt ore in the Chaidama Basin, finding mineral potential, development and utilization, etc. to provide resource protection for national food security and new energy development." Talking about the next next Pan Tong is full of confidence.

■ Reporter Notes

Be a climber who never stops

The towering Qilian, reckless Kunlun, across the west of the motherland, and stand in the hearts of the mineral workers: looking from the wild to serve the economic and social development, from helping ecological civilization construction to ensuring national food security, to focusing platform construction, talent Training, Pan Tong and colleagues wrote youth and passion on the plateau land.

The field of classrooms and the earth as a stage, geological exploration work is full of hardships; it is not easy to walk through mountains and endure hypoxia. "Because of measurement step by step, one hammer and one hammer beaten, every inch of land under the feet becomes thicker." In Pan Tong's heart, when he really embraces the plateau and put it into the development of the plateau, the plateau will also It becomes a fertile soil that nourishes the spirit.

"With the deepening of research, we are more awe of the mountains." The climbers who have been understanding for many years now understand the mountains. "There are also research projects that are not completed, and I will go to Golmus tomorrow!" The night was deep, but when Pan Tong's voice came from the phone, he was still full of enthusiasm.
