In the first half year of 2018, there were changes in China's economic, industrial structure and the changes in government's policy on land and mineral resources. China's geological exploration is continued to maintain a trend of the growth. The fund investment in geological exploration declined and the impetus for investment in initial exploration was insufficient. The mining market showed a good development trend and the social investment depicted a slight rise. In the first half of the year, the investments in hydrogeologic exploration, environmental geology exploration and geological disaster investigation increased on the year-on-year basis. According to the needs of ecological construction of civil structures, resources management, urban geology, agricultural geology and ecological geology are shown a new growth trend.
