It is understood that in the past two years, Guangdong has continuously promoted the construction of large-scale sand and gravel mines. According to incomplete statistics, 84 sand and gravel mines have been successfully sold in Guangdong since 2022, with resource reserves approaching 12.3 billion tons and annual production capacity exceeding 550 million tons. In addition to sand and gravel mines, Guangdong has also launched a large number of sea sand resources. Since 2022, Shanwei City alone has successfully sold three sea sand mines, with 10009 43000 square meters of resources (over 100 million square meters).
