Abstract

Situated at the junction between Gondwana continent and Eurasian continent (plate), Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) is the world’s key ore-forming region. Based on the large quantity of data that had been obtained on-site, the study summarizes the distribution, prospection and mining enterprises for competent mine resources in TAR, and identifies the shares of Tibetan mining sector in heavy industry, industry and GDP, as well as the contribution of the mining economy, so as to make a conclusion that mining plays a role in accelerating the economic development of Tibet from 2009 and 2013. On top of that, the study analyzes the impacts of the Tibetan mining industry on the livelihood of people. The study shows that the diffusion and boosting roles of the mining industry have not yet been given into better play. The construction of Silk Road Economic Belt is expected to bring huge opportunities to the development of Tibetan mining industry. In line with the characteristics, the paper puts forward to pertinent policies and suggestions for TAR to be plugged into the construction of Silk Road Economic Belt.
