辉煌中的忧思——来自中国矿山的调查报告

On the Current Situation of Mines in China

引子 中国是世界上矿产资源总量丰富、矿种齐全、配套程度较高的少数几个国家之一.丰富的矿产资源保证了中国工业化的进程.但是,进入21世纪,中国经济正逢有史以来最好的发展机遇期时,我们又不得不面对一个严酷的事实,那就是随着我国矿业的高速发展,高采掘、强采掘,使许多矿山,或以矿业为支撑的资源型城市面临了资源枯竭的危机.

China is one of a few countries, which have a rather complete variety of mineral resources, and a fair abundance of mineral resources in total quantity. The abundant mineral resources is one of conditions to guarantee the industrialization process in such a rapid speed since the reform and open-up policy carried out. But, while entering 21st century, China is lying in a harsh situation that many mines are in mineral resources crisis, or in a state of being exhausted. The geological survey item, named Resources Potential Survey and Valuation of the Mines in Mineral Resources Crisis, has been finished and the results have been taken as the base of the National Planing Outline of Substitute Resources Exploration in the Mines in Mineral Resources Crisis, which was agreed by the State Council on Sep 6th,2004. Since then, the exploration work of substitute resources in the mines in mineral resources crisis has been started in stages. In the above mentioned geological investigation item, there are good prospects with a big potential for finding more mineral resources in outlying areas around old mines. To increase the domestic capability of mineral resources supply, we should strengthen the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources, strive for a rational distribution of regional geological exploration and exploitation of mineral resources, accelerate the structural adjustment of mineral resources exploitation and utilization, raise the level of multipurpose utilization of mineral resources, and solve step by step the crisis of substitute resources in old mines.
