The sub-forum “the Shale Gas Revolution: the New Power to Change Supply and Demand Pattern” of the Annual Conference 2013 of Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) was held recently. The energy giants and the energy experts of china all said they favored the Shale Gas Exploitation of China.

Frank•Eng Sally，chairman of the board of Pacific Ocean Energy Development Company, expressed that America has been keeping the position of the first largest exporter in the world since 1982, but China has changed from the second largest exporter into the importer in the world. At the same time, China has become the first energy consumer after America in 2011.  “The Shale Gas Exploitation will take more opportunities for china” said Frank and he expected china can achieve self sufficiency in shale gas like America.

Robert D.Hormats, Deputy Secretary of State ,Economy, Energy Resources and agricultural business State, USA, reckoned the achievements of shale gas and shale oil in North America can be copied in other countries. The development of shale gas in America mainly depends on sufficient sources, and china also has the shale resources.
Ren Keying, China Regional chairman, the CEO of Bank of America Merrill Lynch called, ‘the future of Chinese shale gas is very bright.’ According to the relevant reports, the exploitable resource of Chinese shale gas is 1275 trillion cubic feet (36 trillion stere). Ren Keying said the figure is as much as American reserves. He hoped the government can support in encouraging exploitation, pricing mechanism, etc.
Zhang Guobao, director of the experts’ advisory committee of National energy sources Commission of China, also expressed the biggest advantage of Chinese shale gas is the abundant reserves at present.

The serves of Chinese shale gas has won many affirmations, but Chinese energy exerts admit the shale gas exploitation of china is “restricted”.
Gao Zimin, secretary of the Party committee of SHENZHEN ENERGY corporation, vice-chairman of China Entrepreneur Association, said: “ it is not so easy to copy American shale gas exploitation.” He said the geological distribution conditions of Chinese shale gas is more complex, as well as the utilization for water and land sources must be considered. Zhang Guobao said Chinese shale gas is imbedded more deeply than America, so the strengthened the study on scientific research and investigation and study should be strengthened more.
On exploitation technology, David Sandalow, the energy department`s acting Deputy Secretary, the assistant secretary of energy for policy, U.S. expressed the technology enterprises of America are willing to come to China.

On Financing, Zhang Baoguo said:” It isn’t the main problem because Chinese energy enterprises are comparatively abundant and private enterprises also participate in the project.”(Liu Chenyao) （translated by TLRHVC）

"See you next year"------A speech collection of CHINA MINING 2012
 Source: www.mlr.gov.cn  Citation: www.mlr.gov.cn   Date: November 7, 2012

Sunny it is, CHINA MINING 2012 has been coming to an end at Mei Jiang Convention & Exhibition Center in Tianjin,. Ending, just like the beginning, is full of silent friendship: Communication and meeting are going on in the hall at different places in different ways; Sub-forums and promotion conferences are still ardently going; On the booth, geological materials and project introduction are still colorful as if they are meeting the last colleagues and guests interested in cooperation. The only difference is that in the hall hundreds of middle school and college students came to the visit and listen to the lecture. This is the Opening Day of China Mining 2012. With the ending of CHINA MINING 2012 in such a way, how is the conference in the heart of thousands of participants? In addition to the signing of the cooperation projects, and achieving the cooperative aims, what else has every participant gained? And what are their suggestions for such platform construction of international mining? With these questions, our reporter interviewed several participants in the last half a day, The following is an interview record highlights. Nion Kelaimengsen, Vice President of Greenland Royal Arctic Route Executive: The rapid development of China left a deep impression on me. This is my second time to come to China to participate in China Mining. China`s economic development speed left a deep impression on me. In this process, a lot of opportunities appeared. In fact, we come to China, because we have project cooperation in Greenland with a company from Shandong. China now has a lot of outbound investment enterprises. As a company specializing in shipping and airfreight for mining companies, we come here to look for more business opportunities. Jason Gordon, Director of Canada Metal Economic Group Metal Research Department: The congress and exhibition have reached the level of first-class international mining conference. This is my first time to attend CHINA MINING. And comparing to other international mining conference I had participated in, China Mining in Tianjin has reached the first-class level, and provide a high qualified services. The key is that we can meet a lot of cooperation partners here, and get a lot of valuable information. As a 30 years international mining information service and analysis company, we found a lot of opportunities in China, and some very promising cooperation intention is in negotiation. Andy Barnicoat, Chief, Minerals and Natural Hazards Division, Geoscience Australia: We come here to help enterprises to increase mutual understanding between the two countries. In the contact with Chinese enterprises, I heard some companies said in Australia the threshold of the investment is higher, so some can not adapt. In fact, we come here every year, in order to give more useful information to the investors of China and all over the world so as to enhance their understanding to Australia policy, aboriginal, taxation, environmental aspects. Setting up clear objectives so that we can recommend suitable investment project to them. At the same time, I hope China enterprises before investment are sure to make detailed investigation to the projects through professional company, and then improve the success rate of project. Carl Ruby, General Manager of Maxim Chemical (Shandong) co. LTD: We hope to see more Chinese counterparts here. This congress and exhibition gave us and other various types of mining company good communication opportunity, and also let more companies know us. In the communication with Chinese enterprises, I found a phenomenon that Chinese mining companies often have their own mine blasting team, while American and European enterprises generally tend to employ professional blasting company like us, because their service are more professional, and more cost-effective. It is said that there are more than 160 civil blasting companies in China, but I just saw six here. We hope to see more counterparts here. It can not only attract more customers, but also strengthen the competition. Ben Woost, Manager of Australia Snowden Company Business Development Department: Chinese mining enterprises are more and more mature in foreign investment cooperation. This is the fourth time I come to CHINA MINING. Compared with before, the Chinese enterprises are more and more mature in foreign investment and communication cooperation. Now many Chinese companies when doing foreign investment project can learn very detailed project information, make further investigation to the local policy, culture and environmental requirements, and are becoming more and more international in operation way. We, as a professional geological exploration and mining consulting services company, hope to joint with Chinese companies the power-and-power union, and carry on the project cooperation. There are so many opportunities, Next year I will come again! Huang Keng, Business Development Manager of Swiss Panalpina International Transportation Agency China Area Project Department: Under the background of the mining industry downturn, China business is not influenced much. Nearly a year, the world economic downturn had a big to influence mining, which can also be seen from logistics clearly. But in general speaking, the situation in China is good. We still have a lot of overseas investment, and maintain a relatively stable volume. As one of the world`s largest freight and logistics companies, we can provide mining enterprises from very remote mining area out of the minerals optimization, and the lowest cost of logistics plan. We hope to meet more Chinese customers through this platform. Lumaroad Masu Maniman, Chairman of Peru Mining Construction Bureau Foreign Affairs Department: hope and China`s mining industry cooperation can more walk more far This is my first time to attend CHINA MINING and it is also the first time to China. I’m very happy to participate in this great conference. A lot of people communicated in this hall and talked about the possibility of all kinds of cooperation, I think it is very successful. Peru mineral exploration and development degree is very low. I especially welcome to push our mining development. China and Peru`s mining have very good cooperation relations. From the amount of investment, China`s investment in Peru is very high in the whole Latin America. I hope our cooperation can walk further. I am eager to learn Chinese for better communication with Chinese colleagues, and even want to know more about Chinese culture and Chinese philosophy. Attending this congress, I not only won the exchanging and learning opportunities in mineral field, but also have the communication opportunity with different nations and cultures. I like it very much, Next year I must come here again! Dong Shuwen, Vice dean of Chinese academy of geological: regression resources, focus on China This session of CHINA MINING, from a side, confirm the new trend of the global geological science development which was reflected on the 34th International Geological Congress. The global geological science is turning its theme from serving the society with the environmental protection to the new theme of same weight of supporting economic resources guarantee and servicing the society with environmental protection. The 34th International Geological Congress change the theme of 31st , 32nd , 33rd International Geological Congress “environmental protection, sustainable development”, to the theme "for tomorrow provide resources", And the next international geological congress host is South Africa another mining country. This shows that resources theme will continue. Why there is such a trend? I think, because the global is going into a new round of industrialization development period. After rapid development of the emerging economies such as China, Southeast Asia, Middle East, North Africa and South America and other countries group are going into the rapid development stage of industrialization. The global resources demand will face greater challenges. At the same time, along with the advancement of regional industrialization, China has become the first big center of global resource demand. Therefore, CHINA MINING this platform will attract the eye of the world afterward. Hu Jianming, Beijing 3DMing Software Technology co., Ltd.: consolidate old clients and make new friends Through the annual CHINA MINING, we can consolidate old customers and at the same time meet a lot of new users. Almost in the end, there are still some people finding booth to material, consulting relevant software functions, applications, etc. I hope this meeting would be more effective and give some suggestions: one is that the arrangement of the exhibition area would give as much as possible consideration for the convenience of exhibitors and visitors. To be specific, the division of the area should have further subdivision according to the categories. Such as: the government area, image display, product demonstration, investment financial district, mining service area, etc, so that the same exhibitors can have more time for the similar business discussion and communication, and visitors entering the exhibition area can find what they want to visit the exhibitors. And in the same area the deep comparison can be made within the related products or content to strengthen the effect of the exhibition. The second is that tickets trial ticket system can be used, i.e. the tickets can be sold to r mining related units who can enter the exhibition area learning about the relevant information of the industry, equipment development, the development of science and technology, but can not participate in forum. Tickets system for the exhibition can bring more popularity to attract more exhibitors, and make mining exhibition bigger. Zheng Qinghui, technical personnel, China Geological Survey Bureau Exploration Technology Research Institute: The market taste should be stronger. The people attending the conference are increasing. This is a good thing, but the exhibitors generally feel the number of people attending the exhibition reduced. Lack of popularity, it is likely to have much more government exhibitors. Government officials and senior leaders come too much but the specific work personnel who truly want to learn technology and information have been less. This situation should be considered. Let the conference has more market flavor. Fewer officials. Give specific work personnel much more opportunities. It can not only increase the appeal of the conference, but also can increase the appeal of the exhibition for the exhibitors. Lu Guo, General Manager, Beijing Sunshine Creative Translation of language translation Co., Ltd: The concerning point of China`s mining industry foreign cooperation is changing. As a professional mining translation company, our mining translation service work reflects the new changes of mining investment. From our years of translation work experience, English is the biggest language translation, accounting for 80% ~ 85% of the business. Spanish, French, and Portuguese have become the majority language in the minority language of mining translation field. Russian translation is also in great demand, and in recent years the needs to Mongolian translation also began to increase. I think it reflects the new trend of international cooperation in China`s mining industry---from putting more attention to Africa, to Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. More and more Chinese companies begin to pay close attention to the Southeast Asian market, such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma. These countries relatively have stable political situation, and metallogenic conditions are relatively good. I see in Laos, the 70% of the mining companies are Chinese companies. For us, CHINA MINING is a good business platform, full of business opportunities. In the conference, there are many companies employ us to do temporary translation, and we also established a few new customers. Wang Jian, Science Technology and Foreign Affair Department Manager of Yu Qiang Geological Resources Exploration and Development Co., Ltd. Tai An city: Mining companies are most eager to obtain valuable information. Last year when we got the news of CHINA MINING, we have already been late for registration. After the visit, we think this is a very good platform, so very early in this year we signed up and during these days feel really good. As a newly established geological exploration company, we hope in the mining conference to know the relevant countries` mining policy, domestic mineral development and relevant policies, such as the preferential policy of "going abroad" for private company and other company`s successful practice and experience, demonstrate the company`s image, and obtain the opportunity of mining right cooperation exploration or project matching. Learning a lot of valuable information this time we had a big harvest. It will do much favor for our company’s strategy in the future. For instance, we`ve always been thinking to do mining investment in Africa, feeling that the local economy is backward and the entry threshold is low. But through the communication, we think going to developed countries may be better. The developed countries have improved infrastructure, and complete laws and regulations policies, which can guarantee the safety and mining income of investors.

Delegates discussed on mining sustainable development
Source: www.mlr.gov.cn  Citation: www.gtzyb.com  Date: Nov.7, 2012

The sustainable development of the mining industry has always been one of the hot topics in CHINA MINING.  As time goes on, people`s understanding of sustainable development of mining has changed greatly. The focus has changed from sustainable development of mining to contributing to the line. In the sustainable development Breakout Session this year, some famous mining entrepreneurs from home and abroad discussed the contribution of mining industries for sustainable development. A Debate on the Macroscopic and Microcosmic View of Sustainable Development According to Wang Jianhua, chairman of the board from Shandong Gold Group Co., Ltd, sustainable development is a macroscopic proposition, involving the whole society and the global economy. At the same time, it is also a microscopic concept as even the small enterprises also want to live longer. Wang Jianhua mentioned that from history we knew that the long survival time of enterprises was not good for society. The sustainable development of the enterprises must be coordinated with the whole society and the world, otherwise, it is selfish and narrow. Therefore, Shandong Gold Group made its ultimate value goal six years ago: let more people benefit from Shandong Gold Group. If enterprises are no good to the society, then they should be merged and integrated, which conforms to the law of history. But to those mining enterprises in developing countries such as in China, the standard of sustainable development can not be the same with that in developed countries and capital accumulated enterprises. The Barriers of Sustainable Development Ben, the chairman of the forum, and director of International Mining and Metal Board put forward a question to those mining enterprises: What are the barriers of the sustainable development faced by enterprises in the future 20 years? Wang Jianhua believed the key was the value, the recognition of the mining managers and organizers to the value. Jiao Jian, Assistant President of China Minmetals Corporation believed that in the future 20 years, the challenges were the limited resources, infinite demand, the transform of the economic enterprises to the social enterprises and the change of thinking and behavior. Liu Xiangmin, senior vice president from Aluminum Corporation put forward three challenges: the sustainable development of economy and social progress, the sustainable development of the enterprises and environment, the sustainable development of resources and environment. How to Achieve Sustainable Development According to Wang Jianhua, if enterprises want to achieve sustainable development, first they must solve the resource problems. 6 years ago, it was estimated that the open mining quantity of Shandong Gold could only last for 4 to 5 years. Through the hard unremitting prospecting, the company survived finally. Second it is safety and environmental protection. In term of safety, Shandong Gold Group has no planning. As long as new technology and new standard are developed, they will be put into use immediately, regardless of the cost. Shandong Gold Group put forward the standard of no work-related death and environmental protection accident and took a lead in bringing the boilers in large mining’s to the ground, with tailings` life standard 7 times higher than that of the national standard. The above all resulted from the transformation of the notion of value. Meanwhile, human resources and enterprises’ culture are also very important. Shandong Gold Group respects the mining industry, the miners, and let workers become rich so as to have a decent life. Jiao Jian said that in order to solve the problems of resource security, the key was technology innovation and comprehensive recycling. He believed resources security was global macro problem. All the minerals are all faced with grade decline and the lack of infrastructure.  Resources can be made full use of through technology innovation. Liu Xiangmen suggested that sustainable development included the participation of society, government, public and enterprises. Enterprises should be beneficial to society and local places, protect environment and mobilize all forces to realize recycling. Meanwhile, the latter should be good to mining companies. That doesn`t means we forgive the low level of mining enterprises in the standard, technology and management, but create conditions to have mining companies run sustainably in accordance with specifications, law and morale. Dino, vise president form Jingneng Management and Consulting (Shanghai) Co., LTD.,  thought that if enterprises want to realize the sustainable development, they need to have strong team leaders to achieve the best management and all means should be taken in orders.

"Bring in" and "going out" & "helping the private companies with green mining"
Source: www.mlr.gov.cn  Citation: www.mlr.gov.cn  Date: Nov.7, 2012

At the first weekend of November, CHINA MINING Congress & Expo 2012 was held in Tianjin as you expected. There is no doubt that CHINA MINING, as one of the biggest in Asia and one of the premier mining event in the world, has become the important platform for communication and cooperation involving forums, exhibition and special activities, attracting the world`s attention. Reporters got the following data from the news brief: 6000 delegates will have registered, including mining ministers or vice ministers of nearly 30 foreign countries (regions); Exhibition area is up to 25, 000 square meters with nearly 400 exhibitors at home and abroad. There will be 3 Keynote Sessions, 31 Breakout Sessions and 9 Country Investment Project shows. Sometimes, figures are convincing, but not attractive. So, what will be hot issue in this event? What will appeal to you? For the above, the reporter made an interview to explain and predict the key words concerned about and introduced the background of the mining reform and development of China in the recent past year. 1. Key words: Join Hands To Meet Challenges And Promote Sustainable Development Because of uneven distribution of global mineral resources, no country can only depend on their own resources to develop well. As to them, resources must be allocated reasonably, which determines the countries must strengthen mining cooperation to seek greater development in the process of promoting global mining development and prosperity. Especially in the current economic situation, the international mining companies should  continue to deepen the communication and cooperation to overcome difficulties, and speed up the prospecting breakthrough to boost the confidence. The theme of the last Expo was strengthen international cooperation and speed up the prospecting breakthrough. At that time, Li Keqiang, vice premier and China`s Politburo Standing Committee Member sent the congratulatory letter and stressed that China should adhere to being based on the domestic mining market, relying on the technological progress and mechanism innovation to increase the geological prospecting and comprehensive utilization of resources, improving the minerals security ability and utilization efficiency and promoting the long-term economic stability and rapid growth. At the same time, the mining companies should actively participate in international mining cooperation based on mutual benefits, make better use of the "two markets and two kinds of resources" policy, and play a constructive role in the global mining industry development and prosperity. Xu Shaoshi, minister of Land and Resources of PRC put forward the idea of “surviving in a harmony, having difference in a harmony", which was really refreshing. The theme of this year`s event  is “Join Hands To Meet Challenges And Promote Sustainable Development” which is the sound to the whole world by Chinese in the current international situation. It is not important whether the theme of this year is hot or not. What matters are the opening ceremony at 9, November 4, and the two forums on the morning of November 5 attended by mining ministers and vice mining ministers at home and abroad, which will let you think more about the development opportunities and future development strategies of some countries` mining. 2. Key words: The risk of exploration and the capital market Do you remember the scene that Wang Min, vice minister of Land and Resources introduced the foreign and domestic mining economic prospects and the relative measures to the delegates in last event? At that time, the vice minister expressed his good wishes to the global mining community. He said that we need to speed up the prospecting breakthrough to protect the continued prosperity and stable development of mining industry, as well as his expectation to promote mining`s strong and healthy growth. He also mentioned that our country would implement the “Four Strategic Action” of prospecting the breakthrough, vigorously promoting the mineral resources saving and the comprehensive utilization, adjusting the mining structure and the green mine construction and guaranteeing the mineral resources management. He also said that China would strive to create a market-oriented prospecting system platform, support diversification of investors, and let enterprises to implement bulk exploration. From the current view, the “Four Strategic Action” is being orderly implemented. Now our country strives to save and improve the mineral resource utilization efficiency, bearing the responsibility of the sustainable utilization of mineral resources and promoting sustainable development of economic society. At the same time, we must build a market-oriented prospecting system platform, forwarding step by step towards the target. On the eve of the congress, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Tianjin Municipal People`s Government signed the cooperation memorandum of "Building an International Mining Finance Reform Pilot Area in Tianjin”. The memo aims to promote the country`s financial system reform for establishing the capital market fo risk exploration in line with the China`s national conditions and to deepen the reform of the geological exploration bureaus and agencies, and to promote the sustained and healthy development of the mineral exploration and development The latest news is that Cui Jindu, executive vice mayor of Tianjin, will host the Keynote Session after the opening ceremony. The theme of the Breakout Session will be mining and financial capital market. at 14:00 PM that day   Vice Mayor Cui Jindu and the Breakout Session speakers will show us the construction progress and goal of International Mining Financing Reform Pilot Area in Tianjin, the exploration the mechanisms of risk exploration capital market, the analysis of mining investment and financing and the third-party insurance, the new pattern of mining merger and cooperation. The interested readers can focus on the above. 3. Key words: Private Enterprises and Overseas Investment In recent years, our enterprises have made remarkable results in the international cooperation involving mineral resources exploration and development and the processing trade. Relevant data shows that by the end of 2011, the projects involving international mining exploration development and cooperation have reached up to more than 2000 in 80 countries and areas. The investors are more than 600 with the total investment is about 200 billion US dollars. However, it can not be denied that the cooperation in the international mining exploration among the enterprises of China is not very satisfactory because of many reasons such as being not familiar with the rules of international mining, international market development capacity is weak, the lack of experience in international cooperation, foreign government discrimination and barriers. In last year`s overseas investment forum, representatives from China Railway Resources, Tianjin Huakan, Guangxi Non-ferrous Metals, Dele HuaYong Accounting Firm, development and research center of China Geological Survey Bureau introduced the experience and the matters to be focused in terms of the foreign investment and international cooperation, which were welcomed by the delegates. Since this year, the ministry of land and resources centers on the information services, strengthens the guidance and support of international cooperation in the field of geology and mineral resources, and has finished compiling mining investment guide of dozens of countries and regions, mining law codification, and the world mining consulting organization lists, etc.. China`s mining Industry Association has set up a private mining branch. One of the tasks is to let the private enterprises “going out”. Besides the two overseas investment forums will be held in the morning of the 6th, which  will primarily look to the overseas mining investment trends, explore the overseas mining investment, financing, taxation, legal, due diligence and other transactions. Other 4 streams focusing on the introduction of the contents of the Status and prospects of national policies to support private enterprises to invest overseas, the social responsibility of private enterprise and industry self-regulation, the mineral resources of the private enterprises, cross-border investment and financing and mergers and acquisitions will also be held. However, I must mention that the four streams I mentioned above will be held on the afternoon of Nov. 3, which is on the day before the opening ceremony of China Mining 2012. Don’t miss them. 4. Key Words: Project Promotion Minerals Situation The international mining cooperation project promotion will be beautiful scenery in the CHINA MINING every year. Reporters learned that this year`s congress will highlight the mining projects and investment opportunities in the countries and regions including Brazil, Russia and Central Asia, Canada, Germany, Australia, Greenland, Argentina, Sweden, Peru and Africa, which will establish a platform of cooperation projects for the domestic and foreign mining companies. It should be mentioned that some substantial cooperation projects are signed every year. For example in 2010, 62 agreements were signed with the amount of 11.7 billion RMB Yuan. In 2011, 55 project contracts were signed at spot, with a total of 15.7 billion RMB Yuan. So, people who are concerned about the promotion, don’t miss the signing ceremony and China mining international cooperation award ceremony after 17:30 PM on the 5th.   Same as projects promotion, the analysis of minerals situation is also hot with the participants. There is no exception this year. What is the supply and demand situation of iron ore? Are the prices of gold, platinum and precious metal still strong? Are the prices of non-ferrous metals such as copper and nickel stable? What are the prospects of metals, nonmetals and uranium? The mineral forum will be about the price movement and the supply and demand of the above minerals, and new project development. To those participants who don’t have much time to attend every Breakout Session, the keynote session on the morning of 4th and the Breakout Sessions on global mining exploration progress and prospect, the supply and demand of international important mineral resources on the afternoon of 5th will be good choices. ( 4 top economists from international monetary fund, the university of Colorado of USA, the state council development research center, and Bank of China will analyze the international economic and mining situation) . 5. Key words: Prospecting Breakthrough and the Strategic Action In fact, to those who are familiar with China`s mining industry, "prospecting breakthrough and the strategic action" is known to them and are endowed with more expectation. On Oct.19th of the last year, before the CHINA MINING 2011, The executive meeting of the State Council passed the "The action platform of prospecting breakthrough and the strategy action” which requires us to realize the new breakthrough through the implementation of strategic action, form a group of important mineral resources strategic areas, establish important mineral resources reserve system and provide strong resources security and industry support for the stable and rapid economic development. Somebody says the strategic action is the beginning of prospecting mining. More people believe the action will exert a national effect on the mining prospecting. Last year, the ministry of Land and Resources set up the first 47 exploration areas to implement the strategic actions. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance and other ministries jointly held a TV and phone meeting in the capital of China. The meeting emphasizes that China will strive to the prospecting breakthrough. Great progress in mineral exploration will be made within 3 years, and the great breakthrough in 5 years. The new pattern of mineral exploration and development will be reshaped. Since this year, many strategic action plans have been carried out. The Ministry of Land and Resources did better and set up the second 31 strategic action exploration areas. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Land and Resources has organized research and investigation   several times and organized the central media to go to the mineral places to have "prospecting breakthrough is in action" activities. So far, reporters from dozens of media including the People`s Daily, Guangming Daily, Economic Daily, Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, Central People`s Broadcasting Station, China News Agency, have gone to the mineral places in 7 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) including Henan, Hunan, Yunnan, Anhui, Chongqing, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia to learn the latest prospecting results and mechanism. If you want to know more about the above, you can focus on the Breakout Session at 4 p.m. on 5th about the prospecting breakthrough strategic action organized by the Ministry of Land and Resources. Of course, to those geological exploration bureaus and agencies or enterprises at home and abroad, we strongly recommend the investigation and assessment streams on new progress of geology and mineral sponsored by China Geological Survey Bureau at 14:00 p.m. on 4th where you can get more information on the progress and development of China’s geology survey, the new progress of the potential evaluation of China’s mineral resources. If you want to know more about the new technology and the new method used in the process of prospecting, you can pay attention to the geological prospecting, science and technology innovation forum which is organized by the science and technology cooperation department of  the Ministry of Land and Resources and China Geological Survey Bureau. 6. Key words: Green Mining and Harmonious Mining Area There is no doubt that the construction of green mining is the direction of mineral resources management and development under the new situation. Since 2006, 7 Circular Economy Exchange Fairs have been held by the Ministry of Land and Resources and China`s mining industry federation. Especially since 2007, the fairs adhere to the main line of green mining industry, and actively guide the construction of green mining, which gets a broad attention and high praises. A few days ago, the members of CPPCC highly praised the "developing the green mining, building the green mining" concept and strategy which was put forward by the Ministry of Land and Resources in the recent years in the implementation of the scientific outlook on the development. It based on the current long-term perspective, the country has gradually become the transfer mode, adjusted the structure, improve people and protected the ecological platform and the starting point. Up to now, 220 mining enterprises have been confirmed as a national green mining pilot companies and agencies, covering oil, coal, nonferrous metal, metallurgy, gold, chemical industry, building materials and non-metallic mining and other industries. The green mine construction achievement exhibition will be held by Ministry of Land and Resources of PRC. From the fourth quarter of the year to the first half of next year, special researches on the green mine will be conducted by the ministry of Land and Resource, China mining federation and environment resources committee of CPPCC. What will be the development trend of green mine construction? How to perfect the relevant support policy? How to construct the long-term mechanism of green mining development? The stream held by the planning division of the ministry of land and resources and CHINA MINING association will explain the details on the above at 14 p.m., on 5th. Someone said that green mining is the foundation, and harmonious mining area is fundamental. Green mining is mainly the harmony between man and nature. Harmonious mining area is the harmony between man and nature, man and man, man and society. The Breakout Session on harmonious mining construction by the development department of the ministry of land and resources, economic research institute of China Land and Resource will show you some cases on how to promote the harmony between community and mining at 214:00 p.m. on 4th. 7. Key Words:  Comprehensive Utilization and Sustainable Development The "Twelfth Five-Year" plan puts forward for the first time "saving priority strategy ", which is to alleviate the economic development of the resource constraint, and ensure the sound and rapid development of the economic society. To carry out this strategy, In 2010, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Land and Resources of the State Council put forward an application to the state council for the investment of the mineral resources income on geological and major mining projects. With the approval of the state council, special funds has been established since 2010 for the mineral resources saving and comprehensive utilization of the mineral resources. "Special fund" is used in the form of "Replacing the Subsidies with Awards" and "Demonstration Project". With two kinds of economic means, the Ministry of Finance gives full play to the capital incentive and guidance, supports mining enterprises to adopt advanced technology to further improve the development and the comprehensive utilization efficiency of mineral resource, enhancing the mineral resources` supply capacity. At present, the consciousness of the saving and comprehensive utilization of the mineral resources has been further strengthened, which receives remarkable effect. Mining enterprises, the relevant local departments pay more attention to it and the demonstration drive benefit is made with advanced technology and the central financial capital. "Three efficiencies" are improved obviously, and the whole environment has been improved. The stream on mineral resources comprehensive utilization will be held at 16:00 p.m., on 5th. The policies, measures and results related to the above will be introduced. Mineral resources saving and comprehensive utilization is a systematic project, with  long-term and broad characteristics, which needs the wide participation and cooperation of mining enterprises, industry associations, management departments, scientific research units, the social public. And the management of land and resources lies in the sustainable development. In fact, in order to have a dynamic balance in the economy, environment and society, land and resources needs to constructed in a harmonious society with sustainable development. How can the mining and metals line make a contribution to our society and the sustainable development of the industry ?
