Green Development: An Inevitable Choice for China's Mining Industry

China is now in an important period of gradual transition from an economical power to an economically strong country. Its important symbol is the acceleration of urbanization and industrialization, and it has reached a certain level. During this period, mining, which plays a supporting role, is particularly important.

China has a large population, and the per capita mineral resources are relatively insufficient. The conditions for the mineral resources are relatively poor, namely, many poor mines, many small and medium-sized ore deposits, more associated ore deposits, fewer ore deposits, fewer large-scale superlarge deposits, and difficult development and utilization. This is an objective fact. . Under such conditions, the issue facing the miners is how to develop China from a big mining country to a mining power. This includes both opportunities and challenges.

To achieve this ambitious goal and to expand our country's mining industry, we must first work hard on ore prospecting, increase our ore-finding investment, do a good job in prospecting, systematically arrange comprehensive ore-prospecting, and go deep into the new types of ore, especially The use of co-produced minerals is very important. Secondly, the adjustment of the industrial structure should be strengthened. The mining enterprises must not only develop good mines, but also work hard on prospecting. At the same time, the geological prospecting units must not only work hard in finding ore, but also take the integration of exploration and production. Once again, the mining enterprises must join up with the geological exploration units to form a large group to accelerate the pace of “going out”. Geological exploration units must take out high-quality mineral rights and cooperate with the mining enterprises and take the path of enterprise development.

In order to strengthen our country's mining industry, we must first increase investment in science and technology, and give priority to increasing investment in science and technology for ore dressing. Mineral resources that have already been found must be fully utilized and useful elements extracted as much as possible. Secondly, the enterprises that use the “three-rate” index that comprehensively utilizes mineral resources exceeding the national regulations will be rewarded with priority, and will be given priority in the allocation of mineral rights, land use indicators, and scientific research projects. Third, on the basis of comprehensive improvement in the quality of personnel, it is even more necessary to improve professional quality and achieve comprehensive improvement in exploration, mining, and selection of scientific and technological fields. While mining companies are looking for minerals in the deep periphery, a one-percentage increase in the “three-rate” indicator is equivalent to the discovery of a huge deposit.

While contributing to the country through prospecting and mining, it is also important to realize that China has entered a new era of improving quality and stressing the environment. This requires that mining enterprises can no longer perform extensive mining at the expense of the environment, and can not simply pursue the interests of the enterprise and damage the public’s social interests. The mining enterprises must have social responsibilities and take the initiative to create a harmonious mining area and strive to become a green mine as soon as possible.

Green mines are examples of mines. They are based on the realization of the full use of mineral resources, and are marked by environmental protection and land reclamation, and require community harmony and advanced corporate culture. Today's green mine construction has already mentioned the agenda of mining development. Governments at all levels have attached great importance to it. Enterprises have enthusiastically participated and the society has given praise. At the same time, we should also see that there are still many issues that need to be jointly resolved -

First, the concept and technology of resource development and utilization are still relatively backward. The relevant laws, regulations, systems, and management systems are still not perfect. The order of mining development must still be strengthened; the production of extensive management, low level of management, and frequent safety accidents; The level of recycling and utilization is not high, and waste of resources is serious; ecological destruction and environmental pollution are still serious problems.

Second, the backward mining management system is not compatible with the international mining capital market. Qualified individuals who meet the international signature requirements and market-oriented standards and regulations have not yet been established. China lacks a global perspective on its mineral resources strategy and mining development strategy. As a result, in the global mineral products market, there is a strange phenomenon of “what China sells, what is worthless, what China buys, and what price increases” and the company “goes out”. "Introduction" has many difficulties, making it difficult for China's mining industry to integrate into international mining.

Third, there are still many defects in the management of mine administration in the country. Some institutions of reserves management departments do not assist the reserve management department in formulating standards, check the quality of inspections and reserves reports, and help management departments improve the speed and quality of filings, but are keen to review reserves; the procedures for handling mining rights and continuation and transfer of mining rights are complex. , Time is too long, special agencies should be set up to deploy full-time personnel; Geological environment recovery and management margins are very smooth, companies must pay, but the government promised to return the channel is not smooth enough, even for the green mine, geological environment deposit also does not accept After the Department of Geology and Minerals was changed to the Ministry of Land and Resources, the management of the mining industry was focused on the field of geological prospecting and exploration. The main body of the mining industry, mine management and services, was still relatively lacking, and it was not deep enough. The government evaluated, evaluated, and named The work of other industry associations is still keen; the channels for setting standards, statistics, etc. are still not open.

In the future, the green mines should be promoted in the following aspects: First, build a solid provincial green mine platform and build an internationally-renowned green mine representing the image of China in the state-level green mines. Second, the government should increase its efforts in supporting, encouraging, commending, publicizing, and learning about green mines. In the green mine policy, the Ministry of Land and Resources should open up green channels and give corresponding tilt and care in the selection of bases, reduction of resource compensation fees, and the return of environmental recovery and treatment security deposits. Third, the planning of green mines from scratch, to implementation, to science, requires strengthening management, unifying principles, highlighting key points, and embodying characteristics. Fourth, the post-management of mines will gradually become pre-requisite, that is, it will become a blueprint for mining in advance and make full use of resources while building a garden. Fifth, from the concept of forming a green mine to the development of a green mine culture, from the construction of green mines to the development of green mining, we must gradually and steadily.

In short, under the leadership of the party and the government and with the joint efforts of all colleagues in the mining industry, the realization of the “Chinese dream” of green mines and the construction of ecological civilization will surely be realized as soon as possible.
