The people's Government of Henan Province recently issued a notice, decided to adjust theimportant mineral resource allocation policy in Henan province. Why the policy to adjust theallocation of mineral resources, the new deal and the new where? In March 20th, the reporter with these questions specifically visited the provincial land resources department director Sheng Guomin.

Let the market decide the allocation of mineral resources

"The most prominent is the comprehensive adjustment of the way of transfer of important mineralresources in Henan Province, let the market determine the allocation of resources." Sheng Guomin said.

New provisions, in addition to the following 4 kinds of circumstances permit the transfer of mining right by means of agreement, shall be by way of market paid taxes: focus on mineral resources development projects approved by the State Council and supporting resources for key construction projects approved by the State Council and mineral resources; have set up mining rights need toadjacent to the regional integration or the use of the original production system to expand thescope of exploration and exploitation the prospecting right; has established the need to integrate ordue to the overall exploration to expand the scope of involving the surrounding sporadic resources;the notice before the pre allocation of mineral resources, the provincial government has approved the project and resource integration project.

At present, Henan has formed a set of related policy system, put forward "the province's mineral exploration right no longer perform high risk mineral species may apply for a prior policy, all of the use of market means transferring", but also put forward "in addition to the provinces advantages ofmining enterprises, not to other entities on coal, bauxite, molybdenum ores new mining rights" etc.restrictions on individual and retention of coal, bauxite and molybdenum mine, the implementation is not expanding boundary, expanding storage, not to increase the service life of the "three no" policy,an important market allocation of mineral resources is lower relatively. The new deal is my provinceto fully implement the "major move market plays a decisive role in the important mineral in the allocation of resources..

The adjustment of the coal aluminum resource transfer subject scope

"Second big change is to relax the coal, aluminum resources assignee subject qualification, that is to adjust the coal aluminum resources have participated in market competition enterprise qualification range." Sheng Guomin said.

The new proposed in coal resource transfer, mainly for coal as the backbone of enterprise resource allocation, to encourage and support the electric power enterprises, such as electrolytic aluminum enterprises downstream enterprises to purchase form of participation in projects of cooperation in exploration and exploitation of coal.

Aspects of bauxite resources allocation, to cancel the regional restrictions bauxite alumina enterprises resource allocation policy. To encourage and support the coal enterprises and joint venture exploration of alumina bauxite resources development under the coal seam. Molybdenum ore and other mineral in coal, bauxite and abroad, for mineral alteration, transfer of mining rightsand exploration rights to mining rights approval procedures as registration according to law.

Sheng Guomin said that the coal resources subject to purchase the appropriate relaxation toelectric power enterprises, electrolytic aluminum enterprises such as coal and downstream enterprises, bauxite resources allocation to cancel the regional restrictions, large and medium-sizedbauxite deposit is extended to large alumina silica refractory materials enterprises, small bauxite deposit to the society open, these measures can play better the role of regulation of the government for important mineral resources.

Management of mineral resources into the new normal

After 10 years of the integration of resources, the province's mineral mining, mineral processing of raw materials products industry production value added an average annual growth rate of 22.7%,32.1%, mining layout reasonable, the level of resource intensive is obviously improved, the initial formation of a large mining group as the main body, large and small mines coordinated development of mineral development pattern.

But with the development and change of international mineral products market, the national mineral resources policy adjustment and our province of mining economy, some problems also appear gradually, especially the size and number of market allocation of resources serious shortage,market function is weak, transferring the important mineral is yet to open markets, this series ofquestions prompted me must grasp the policy adjustment.

The Provincial Department of land resources investigation in Henan began to important mineralarea since last March, and carefully combing policy analysis of the allocation of mineral resources;the new draft from 17 government departments and the advantage of mining enterprises opinion.

The new deal also proposed to promote the transformation of mineral resources utilization and management mode, and establish our province the important mineral resources management of the joint meeting system, clear the relevant departments and all levels of government responsibility. "An important new allocation of mineral resources, marks the province of mineral resourcesmanagement into a new normal." Sheng Guomin said.
