A total of more than 10,000 rare mineral specimens, including lunar meteorite, Hunan hsianghualite and Pakistan aquamarine, were exhibited. 
 
This year’s expo has four major theme exhibition areas: mineral crystals, colored gemstones, fossil meteorites, and arts and crafts. During the 5-day exhibition period, themed activities and exhibitions such as the 2025 Chenzhou Bismuth Tellurium Industry Development Forum, Museum Integration and Innovative Development Seminar, and Meteorite Theme Exhibition will also be held.

The Returned International Mineral Exhibition was held for the first time, with more than 80 rare minerals such as antimonite and molybdenite from top collectors in the country on display. Lu Jianhua, vice chairman of CFPF, introduced that these rare minerals were sold overseas, but in recent years, with the expansion of the domestic mineral specimen collection market and the improvement of mineral resource protection awareness, these mineral treasures have been able to return to China.

CMGE is the only national-level mineral and gemstone professional exhibition approved by the State Council in China. It permanently settled in Chenzhou in 2015. As the most concentrated and typical mineral resource aggregation area in Hunan province, Chenzhou has world leading reserves of tungsten, bismuth, tin, fluorite, and other minerals.

In the past decade, the non-ferrous metal industry in Chenzhou has formed a relatively complete industrial chain. By seizing the development opportunity of the lithium battery new energy industry, Chenzhou is focusing on building a complete lithium battery new energy industry chain involving lithium ore, materials, batteries, terminal products and recycling.
