Promote the transformation of mining ecological civilization with "Mine green Development index"

Third, the implementation steps should first solve the problem of "no", take the principle of focusing on research and demonstration, centralized training, and hierarchical implementation, and launch the 1.0 version of the "Mine development index" of key minerals as soon as possible within two years; Then solve the problem of "good or not", find the problem, focus on the problem, solve the problem, optimize the impact factor evaluation model, and then use 3 to 5 years to upgrade the "mine development index" of key minerals to the practical version, and achieve full coverage of major minerals.

We will carry out soil ecological restoration work

China Mining News: What are the characteristics of sustainable mining activities? What profound impact will the "Green Mining Index" have on the development of green mining?

Hu Zesong: Sustainable mining activities are characterized by:

First, the basic feature of green mining is not to lose the natural ecological attributes of the mine, the moderate development of the concept of ecological civilization construction must replace the predatory excessive development of fishing, and the blind pursuit of high index "three rates" is inappropriate.

Second, whether mining activities are in line with sustainable development, the key lies in the full cost coverage of the value of mining activities, including ecological costs and environmental costs, so high-value mining activities have the basic characteristics of sustainable development.

Third, money can not buy the environment, ecological costs, environmental costs must be paid in the process of mining development activities. Therefore, in the new era, the new stage, we should reflect on our past mining development concept.

First, establish a new concept of resource utilization. Re-examine the environmental ecological value of "mining rich and abandoning poor", "making full use of", "low-grade mine utilization" and "tailings utilization", determine the reasonable development margin based on the "mine green development index", build the ecological restoration as the goal of mining activities and green "three rates" system, to prevent excessive and predatory mining development activities.

The second is to use the concept of mining ecological restoration to guide mining activities, avoid damage and restoration, promote environmental ecological restoration in mining activities, not only pay attention to the extraction and processing of economic mineral components, but also pay attention to the removal of minerals that affect the ecological environment and harm the environment, and gradually prohibit the environmental ecological restoration after mining activities. For example, the scientific stripping of layers in open-pit mining, and how to rationally match the dry pile of tailings and the stripping of mine to backfill, which involves the ideas of the construction of waste dumps and tailings ponds. Mining activities must be closely combined with ecological construction, and the mine environmental restoration plan must be demonstrated, filed, implemented, inspected and accepted with the mine development plan. The establishment of mine ecological deposit and the corresponding insurance system to effectively ensure that the "mine environmental restoration plan and mine development plan" is not only the basis for the approval of mining development projects, but also the basis for mining enterprises to operate according to law and compliance, and the basis for the supervision and inspection of mining management departments.

Third, develop green mining technology. Including green mining exploration technology, green mining production technology, mine ecological restoration technology, to form a corresponding standardized system.

All in all, exploring the establishment of the "mine green mining index" system is a bold attempt based on the green development of the whole life cycle of the mining industry, is a beneficial supplement and improvement of the current green mine construction, and is also an urgent need for the transformation of the mining industry to achieve ecological civilization, and should be one of the development directions of China's mining industry under the new ecological situation.
