October 21, 2015 witnessed the Green Mine Construction sub-forum held during the CHINA MINING Congress and Expo 2015 at Tianjin Meijiang Convention Center by Planning Department and Environment Department of Ministry of Land and Resources, PRC and China Mining Association.
Officials at home and abroad, mining mountains enterprises and representatives of Green Mining Mountain service institute conducted dialogues and communication on the outlook of ecological civilization construction and green mining industry development, green mining industry development at home and abroad and green mining mountain technologies domestically and overseas.
Mr. Ju Jianhua, inspector& deputy director–general of planning dept of Ministry of Land and Resources, China, indicated that in 2015, the central government published the first all-round theme document on ecological civilization development, regarding developing green mining industry and accelerating green mining mountain construction as major tasks. As of the current moment, totally 661 mining mountain enterprises have been listed as green mining mountain pilots, having erected a batch of advance green mining mountain examples.
Next, he pointed that China would push forward the provincial green mining mountain construction and county level green mining mountain construction respectively, build up a batch of green mining mountain demonstrations at mineral resources and mining mountain corporations densely distributed regions, and better the green mining mountain construction standards geared to different regions and industries which would be finalized into system. The leading role of economy and market should be taken into full play so as to encourage the mining mountain enterprises to adopt advanced prospecting technologies and to carry out integrated management on mining mountain environment protection, integrated utilization of resources, energy-conserving and emission reduction, tailing mine re-utilization and the recycling of the “wasted water, wasted gas and wasted solid materials”. The government shall give financial and credit support for these mining mountain enterprises which are operating in accordance with green mining mountain standards; through the construction of credit system and industrial self-discipline, the mining mountain enterprises shall actively make contribution to the resources and environment protection, local economic progress and social requirements. As a result, as of 2020, the medium-and large-sized mining mountain enterprises will reach the standard of green mining mountain while the small mining mountain enterprises are to be operated in accordance the green mining mountain standards regulation, basically completing the general goal of national green mining mountain layout.
Mr. Xiong Zili, deputy general-director of environment department of Ministry of Land and Resources, explained the geological environment protection and management status quo and mechanism construction of China’s mines. It was said that as of 2014, 90 billion yuan was set as the national mines geological environment protection fund, with 30 billion from the central government and 60 billion from local governments and these enterprises. Nationally, 810 thousand hectares of mining areas was recovered.
He insisted that the following works shall focus on four aspects. Firstly, we shall exert efforts to better the developing-compensation protection mechanism. We shall better the Margin System of Mine Geological Environment Regulation and establish the Responsibility System of Mine Geological Environment Protection, and Compensation System of Mine Environment Damages, building a system of “ source-preventing, process-controlling, damages-compensation and responsibility-investigating”. Secondly, we shall stick to the principle of “ The developing party responsible for protecting and improving.” We shall compile, review and implement the plan of mineral resources developing and utilization, the protection and recovery plan of mine geological environment and the land reclamation plan simultaneously. Thirdly, we shall enhance the mine environment protection supervising. We shall carry out a dynamic geological environment supervising system at national, provincial, municipal and country level respectively organized by provincial people’ government with municipal and county levels as the main units. Fourthly, the government shall encourage the social parts to play their role in terms of capital so as to deal with the lingering issues at a faster speed. We should explore to build an new management model of mine geological environment featured by government-dominated, policies-supported, society-participated, open management and commercialized operation.
The Hon. Ms. Judith Bossé, Assistant Deputy Minister for the Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada, introduced the Canada green mining plan. Mr. Rao Rufeng, deputy secretary general of Huzhou municipal government, Zhejiang Province, has introduced the method and experience in green mine construction in Huzhou municipal government.
On the sub-forum, representatives from China Minmetals Corporation, Chihong Zn & Ge, Dacheng Law firm, and Worley Parsons, Australia introduced the environment protection, community condition, and social responsibility of mine enterprises in the green mining industry development. Six home and abroad corporations exchanged their opinions on technological innovation of the green mine construction, including Nanking Pairui Construction Material Tech, Anhui Langyashan Mining Co., Ltd., Sinorex Resource & Engineering(Beijing) Co., Ltd., BGRIMM Institute of mining Engineering, Shandong Energy Xinwen Group Xin Julong Co., Ltd., and The Climate Change Guy Group, Australia.
The sub-forum was presided by Mr. Liu Yuqiang, vice chairman and chief engineer of China Mining Association, and head of work committee of green mine construction in China Mining Association. (Liu Xiaohui / Yang Qiuling)
