Recently, Wood Mackenzie, a world-leading consulting firm, clearly pointed out in its 2026 Outlook for Metals and Mining that three core factors—geopolitical uncertainty, fluctuations in the pace of energy transition, and prudent capital allocation—are driving the global mining industry into a new risk phase characterized by "high uncertainty, high constraints, and low redundancy." Against this backdrop, the pressure on safe production and efficient operation of mines continues to rise, and high-quality support equipment, as a core link to ensure mine stability, has become increasingly important. With our core products such as slit bolts, deformed steel bars, anchoring agents, and pick mesh, we provide solid support for global mining enterprises to cope with risks and challenges.
Systematic Rise in Mining Risks: Support Safety as the Key to Breaking the Deadlock
Wood Mackenzie emphasizes that current global mining risks have evolved from traditional supply-demand price fluctuations to complex challenges involving geopolitical games, capital constraints, and ESG compliance. Geopolitical conflicts have fragmented the global mineral trade pattern, and the rise of resource nationalism has tightened mining policies, leaving mining projects facing the dual pressures of supply chain disruptions and restricted cross-border flows. At the capital level, mining enterprises generally strengthen capital discipline, focusing on optimizing existing assets rather than developing new projects, resulting in structural gaps in capacity supply and an urgent need to upgrade equipment in old mines. Meanwhile, ESG compliance has become a "social license" for mining projects, and the improvement of environmental and safety standards places higher requirements on the reliability and durability of mine support systems.
For core mining scenarios such as metal mines and coal mines, the intensified risks have directly amplified potential safety hazards such as surrounding rock instability and roof collapse. Especially for deep mining and old mine renovation projects, more stringent standards are imposed on the load-bearing capacity, adaptability, and construction efficiency of support products. In this context, selecting support solutions that are suitable for complex geological conditions and integrate safety and economy has become a key measure for mining enterprises to resist risks and ensure production capacity.
Core Product Matrix Takes Action to Build Full-Scenario Support and Protection Systems
Targeting the pain points of support demand amid current mining risks, relying on years of industry experience, （Jiufu：https://www.cnrockbolt.com/）we have built a diversified core product matrix, providing customized solutions for different geological conditions and mining scenarios, and comprehensively improving mine support stability.
As a core product for full-length anchoring and active reinforcement of surrounding rock, https://www.cnrockbolt.com/global-47mm-split-set-stabilisers/slit bolts are cold-rolled from 20MnSi strip steel. The longitudinal slit design allows them to immediately exert radial pressure and friction force over the entire length when installed in slightly smaller diameter drill holes. Combined with the bearing force of the tray, the surrounding rock is in a three-dimensional stress state, effectively resisting the impact of blasting vibration and surrounding rock displacement. The initial anchoring force of this product can reach 3-7 tons, the tensile strength is 12-13 tons, and its corrosion resistance is 20-30% better than ordinary steel. It is easy and quick to construct without complex grouting processes, which can greatly shorten the support cycle. It is especially suitable for complex underground projects such as coal mines and tunnels, providing guarantee for efficient mine construction.
Deformed steel bolts https://www.cnrockbolt.com/www-cnrockbolt-com-threaded-steel-rock-bolt/(including equal-strength deformed steel resin bolts) are made of special MG335 material. Combined with resin anchoring agents, they can realize multiple anchoring methods such as short anchoring, extended anchoring, and full anchoring, featuring reasonable structure, full-length equal strength, and excellent anchoring performance. The thread design of the bolt body ensures tight combination with the anchoring agent, forming strong tensile stress after solidification, which can effectively prevent rock wall caving. Widely used in coal mine underground roadways, railway and hydropower projects, its specifications can be flexibly adjusted according to the surrounding rock strength to meet the support needs of different depth mining.
As a core auxiliary material of the bolt support system, supporting anchoring agents https://www.cnrockbolt.com/multifunctional-resin-anchoring-agent/are made of high-strength resin base material, with the advantages of fast solidification speed, high bonding strength, and good durability. They can quickly solidify the bolt and surrounding rock, significantly improve the stability of anchoring force, and avoid support risks caused by anchoring failure. For special geological conditions such as humidity and fragmentation, our anchoring agents can achieve efficient bonding, providing a solid foundation for the bolt to play its support role.
Pick mesh：https://www.cnrockbolt.com/chain-link-mine-support-mesh/ forms a coordinated protection with the above products. Woven from high-strength steel, it has both wear resistance and impact resistance, which can effectively block gravel falling and surrounding rock spalling. Combined with bolts and anchoring agents, it forms a comprehensive support network. Its mesh size can be customized on demand to adapt to different roadway sections and mining intensities, widely used in mine roadways, tunnel initial support and other scenarios, further improving the safety factor of mine operations.
Aligning with Industry Trends, Empowering Resilient Mining Development with Quality
Wood Mackenzie predicts that the future mining market will present a pattern where "small and medium-sized mining enterprises lead new project development, and large groups optimize existing assets," while intelligent mining and green mine construction will become core trends. We will keep pace with the industry development direction. On the one hand, we will continuously optimize product performance, increase R&D investment in high-strength, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant support materials, and improve the adaptability of products to intelligent mining equipment. On the other hand, we will strengthen the full-life cycle service, providing customers with integrated solutions from product selection, construction guidance to post-maintenance, helping mining enterprises reduce costs, increase efficiency, and operate safely in a market environment with intensified risks.
Faced with the complex changes in the global mining industry, high-quality support products are the "first line of defense" for mine safety. We will always take quality as the core, market demand as the guide, continue to deepen the field of mine support, and inject solid momentum into the resilient development of the global mining industry.
