1. Industry competition pattern

International market competition pattern. There are huge differences in the distribution of global mineral resources, and the mining development market is relatively prosperous in regions with rich resource reserves. Due to the different degree of industrialization in each region, the technical level and competitive ability of mine development service providers are also different. Looking back on the history of more than one hundred years, with the industrialization and post-war reconstruction of Western developed countries, the mining development industry has also developed rapidly, which has also given birth to a group of large-scale international mining (metal mining) development enterprises, which control the world's main mineral resources. In addition, mining development technology and equipment more developed countries are mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States and other regions, such as Australia, Canada, South Africa, Germany, Sweden, Finland and so on. Therefore, at present, the international large-scale mine development service providers are mainly from Western developed countries, these international service providers have strong technical strength and financial advantages, and have good cooperative relations and communication channels with developers, almost all the global large-scale high-quality mine development service business.

In the past two decades, the countries and regions with more prosperous mining development markets include Australia, South Central Africa, South America, Canada, China, Russia and so on. The above countries and regions have emerged a large number of small and medium-sized mine construction and labor subcontracting service providers, mainly engaged in small and medium-sized mine shaft and tunnel construction and labor subcontracting business, small and medium-sized mine development service market competition is relatively fierce.

Domestic market competition pattern. According to the current competition situation of the domestic mine engineering construction general contract market, the domestic mine development service market can be divided into high-end service market, mid-end service market and low-end service market from the aspects of the size of service objects, the strength of comprehensive strength, the level of entry barriers, and the standard degree of service mode. The main characteristics of the high-end market are the scale of mine development, large development potential, high technical content, safety management requirements, entry barriers and brand attention, and weak service prices affected by macroeconomic trends. The main conditions for service providers to participate in high-end market competition are large enterprise scale, high industry qualification level, standardized management, profound technical accumulation, high goodwill and strong financial strength. In terms of the operation mode of cooperation with the owner, the high-end service market generally adopts the package contract mode of design-construction-mining operation or the service mode of engineering construction and then mining operation management, so as to reduce the cost and expenditure of the transformation of each link of the industrial chain and achieve the most economic and stable transition between each process. At present, the development of mineral resources is gradually developing in the direction of deep and large-scale, and a number of large-scale and deep-buried mines are gradually proved and entered the development stage. For the subsequent survival and development of some large old mines, a large number of resources have been discovered in the deep part of the mining area. However, the mining of deep resources has high requirements for engineering technology and professional equipment, forming a high market barrier.

The service demand of a large number of small mining enterprises has spawned a large number of small mining engineering companies and labor subcontractors, forming a relatively large low-end service market. Because small mines and labor subcontracting service projects usually have low technical content, they are generally operated in the form of contract processes (contract ore transport, contract rock drilling, contract installation, etc.), package sections, and contract cleaning, etc., and the market entry threshold is low, resulting in oversupply and fierce competition in the low-end market of mine construction general contracting. Moreover, its price is more sensitive to macroeconomic trends and fluctuates greatly. In addition, due to historical changes, large state-owned mining enterprises in China have generally adopted the employment mode of farmer rotation. In recent years, due to changes in national employment policies, these enterprises have begun to use a large number of labor subcontracting or operation mode of process and section subcontracting, which further expands the low-end service market. In recent years, the state and various provinces and cities have introduced a series of policies to encourage the reorganization and merger of mining enterprises and restrict the development of small mines, and plan to standardize and rectify the existing small mines through measures such as closure and transfer. Therefore, the low-end service market may show a gradual shrinking trend.
