The exploitation of mineral resources and production of materials require technology that is simple, economic, efficient and feasible. Some of metal materials can be extracted and produced directly from minerals at normal temperature and normal pressure such as copper, gold, uranium, cobalt and so on at present. How to exploit and utilize the limited resources as for as possible? A concept concerning production integration from resources to materials is put forward in the paper. And it is described in the paper that the feasibility and necessity of using technology that is short in flowsheet, less pollution, efficient and high quality of products from exploitation of mineral resources to production of metal materials and inorganic nonmetal materials. And also, an opinion is put forward for present conditions of resources and development of production integration from resources to materials in China.
