The national green mine standard presents six highlights

Highlight 1: "Code" is a systematic standard for mine construction

"The Code is the first national industry standard, filling the gap at home and abroad on national industry standards for green mines, and has milestone significance." Wang Liang said straight away that the standard is based on foreign experience and a summary of 661 green mine pilot situation and formulated, involving mining planning layout, resource development, ecological environmental protection, comprehensive utilization of resources, energy conservation and emission reduction, science and technology management, digital mining, enterprise management, social responsibility and other aspects of the content. These contents are required in different policies, standards and specifications, but the integration of these contents into a systematic standard is unprecedented, and this is the biggest highlight of the Specification.

"The concept of green mine from 2007 after the concept, formation (exploration), growth (demonstration) and other stages, the release of the" code "marks the green mine has entered the stage of comprehensive construction, meaning that green mine from technology, equipment, technology, enterprise management and people's understanding have entered a mature period. Many people's understanding of green mines in society still stays at the level of ground environment beautification and mining area layout, and the "Code" can more comprehensively draw the appearance of green mines, and unify people's understanding and knowledge of green mines." "Wang Liang said.

Highlight 2: Social responsibility throughout the standard

Social responsibility refers to an organization's responsibility to society. An organization should operate and manage in a way that is beneficial to society. It means that while companies generate profits and have legal responsibilities to shareholders, they also have responsibilities to employees, consumers, communities and the environment. Wang Liang believes that the green mine standards issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources fully consider enterprise management, mine harmony, clean production, comprehensive utilization of resources, waste discharge standards and other factors, reflecting that the construction of green mines is the social responsibility of mining enterprises.

Highlight 3: Take circular economy as the entry point to achieve sustainable development

Circular economy, also known as "resource recycling economy", is an economic development model characterized by resource conservation and recycling and harmonious with the environment. It emphasizes the organization of economic activities into a "resource-product-renewable resources" feedback process, which is characterized by low exploitation, high utilization and low emission. All materials and energy can be used rationally and sustainably in this ongoing economic cycle, so as to reduce the impact of economic activities on the natural environment to the smallest extent possible.

Wang Liang said that the standard clearly states that "in accordance with the principles of reduction, reuse and resource utilization, comprehensive development and utilization of co-associated resources, and scientific use of solid waste and wastewater." The development of circular economy is an important guiding ideology in the standard, and the realization of circular economy in mines will also realize the sustainable development of mining enterprises."

Highlight 4: Green as the keynote, emphasizing the important role of ecology and protection

Green represents ecology, representing the harmony between human production activities and nature. Faced with the severe situation of tightening resource constraints, serious environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation, we must establish the concept of ecological civilization that respects, conforms to and protects nature, and take the path of sustainable development. In fact, the construction of ecological civilization is to raise sustainable development to the height of green development, "enjoy the shade" and "plant trees" for future generations, comply with the principles of clean production and clean utilization, and construct a safe, healthy, clean, environmental protection and resource-saving production and living environment, so as to achieve harmony between man and nature.

Wang Liang believes that many people in society, including some mining enterprises, still have a simple understanding of green mines in the green and beautification of the mining environment, and have not fully integrated the mine development itself with the ecology. The "Code" can start with emphasizing ecology and protection, draw the appearance and connotation of green mines in a more comprehensive way, and unify people's understanding and knowledge of green mines.

Highlight five: Green mine construction is a risk-free avenue for enterprise transformation and upgrading

Green mine and traditional mine are different from each other in concept and economic structure. The traditional mine development focuses on how to strip resources from the ore body, while the green mine construction is the efficient, economical and accurate development and utilization of resources and environmental protection and governance, and the industrial model has undergone major changes.
