China's mining green journey

After 7 years of sharpening, 661 green mine pilot companies and 35 green mines were born in China. In the past 65 years, more than 100,000 mines in more than 300 mining cities supported the economic and social development of the Republic, and brought serious ecological problems. Where do you go from here? The river responds, and the people call: China's development must take the road of sustainable development. China's mining industry can only take the road of green mines. We want Jinshan Yinshan, but also green mountains!

An International Perspective on the Development of Green Mines

Green mine concept came out

In the 19th century, in response to the destruction of mine vegetation, Britain, the United States and other Western countries put forward the concept of “green mines”. The "green mine" of this period only stayed in the pure protection of the vegetation in the mining area, and the beautification of the surrounding environment of the mining area was divided into the first stage of the green mine.

Green mine concept extension

After World War II, the economy and society developed rapidly and the consumption of natural resources was unprecedented. Insightful people point out that “the resources of the earth, especially energy, mineral resources, etc. are limited, and improving resource utilization should be listed as an important research topic”. Therefore, the concept of “green mine” in the second stage extends from purely environmental beautification and protection to “comprehensive utilization of mineral resources”.

Green mine scientific development

In the modern era, the pollution and destruction of the earth by industrial civilization has attracted the attention of all mankind. Energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection have become important topics. The world has reached a consensus that “scientific and technological innovation is the only way for human development and progress” and “people-oriented”. It is a universally agreed basic principle. In view of this, China has put forward the "scientific outlook on development" at an appropriate time, and the concept of "green mine" is also basically mature.
