Recently, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued and implemented nine local standards for green mine construction, including “Green Mine Construction Specification Part 1: Non-Metallic Mineral Industry,” covering nine major industrial sectors such as non-metallic minerals, chemical industry, gold mining, coal mining, and metallurgy.

Since 2021, under the guidance of the Department of Natural Resources of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Autonomous Region Institute of Geological Survey has conducted in-depth study and research on the 10 major industry-specific green mine construction standards—such as those for coal and onshore oil and gas—that have been issued and implemented by the state, as well as on the "Green Mine Evaluation Indicators." The institute has carried out field surveys to assess the status of green mine development among mining enterprises in the autonomous region, systematically analyzing the current situation of over 400 green mines. Taking into account practical factors such as geographic location, mineral types, mine scale, and extraction methods, the institute has refined and clarified the evaluation indicators for green mines. After extensively soliciting opinions from relevant departments and conducting multiple rounds of research and discussion, the autonomous region has formulated its own standards for green mine development. The issuance of these standards will play a positive role in further standardizing mining enterprises' development activities and promoting their transformation and upgrading.
