Abstract:: Through the research on current situation of the mineral resources in China and all over the world, this article has done some expectations about the situation of global mineral resources and the mineral resource de- mands of socioeconomic development all over the world in future. As a result, for satisfying with the demands of global socioeconomic development, first, must distribute global mineral resources fairly, reasonably and scientifi- cally; second, should seek and develop renewable energy source, fungible energy source, new types of mineral re- sources and alternative mineral resources practically; at last, must apply new science and technology to the miner- al resources exploration, development and utilization. The extent of geological work is lower in western regions of China, however, there are good mineralization conditions, so it will be expected to be found more deposits in western regions of China. In a word, for implementing the West Development strategy, the western regions of China should be built as the major relay base of resources and mineral resource in China.
