The development of deep gold mineral resources is of great significance for ensuring national resourcesecurity and supporting strategic industrial development. A systematic analysis was conducted on the practical backgroundand strategic value of deep gold mineral resource development in China, and an in⁃depth discussion was provided onthe current development status and main constraints. China now faces numerous challenges in the process of deep goldmineral resource development: The accuracy of geological exploration needs further improvement; risks of disasterssuch as rockburst and high temperature⁃induced heat damage are significantly increased compared to shallow mining;the adaptability of intelligent equipment in deep environments is insufficient; investments in safety and environmentalprotection continue to rise, and the policy system requires further refinement. Challenges and opportunities coexist inChina’s deep gold mineral resource development. Corresponding strategies are proposed to address existing problems:promoting the integration of deepmetallogenic theory and artificial intelligence, tackling key technologies such as rockburstprevention, heat damage control, and geothermal energy utilization, further improving related systems for intrinsic safety ofdeepmining and tailings resource utilization, and optimizing risk exploration fundmechanisms and fiscal incentive policies.At present, strengthening technological innovation is a key factor in addressing the bottlenecks of deep gold mineralresource development, and policy guidance serves as an important support for achieving sustainable development ofgold mineral resources. In addition, safe and green mining remains the fundamental principle. Under national strategiccoordination and industry-university-research collaboration, China is expected to achieve a transition from a "majorgold resource country" to a "strong gold resource country".
