9 Moon 25 Date to 26 On [date], the provincial on-site conference on green development of the mining industry was held in Huzhou City. Chen Tiexiong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference and Director of the Provincial Department of Natural Resources, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Yang Lushun, Member of the Standing Committee of the Huzhou Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, also attended the meeting. Zhang Jingen, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Natural Resources, chaired the meeting.

　　The meeting reviewed and summarized the decade-plus journey of green development in Zhejiang’s mining industry. 2005 Since the year, land and resources departments at all levels throughout the province have been... “ Two Mountains ” Guided by our guiding principles, we will proactively integrate green development in the mining industry into the major strategic decisions and deployments of the provincial Party committee and provincial government. Driven by reform and innovation, we will vigorously advance the establishment of institutional mechanisms for green development in the mining sector. Taking optimized spatial planning as a key lever, we will vigorously promote comprehensive remediation of mine ecological environments. Led by the new development philosophy, we will vigorously advance the construction of green mines. With... “ Both sides of the two roads “” Four Sides, Three Transformations ” Focus on vigorously promoting the remediation of abandoned mines and abandoned mine shafts, particularly by continuing to carry out... “ Thousand Mines Rectification, Hundred Mines as Models ” A series of targeted initiatives—including the remediation of abandoned mines, the construction of green mines, the cultivation of top 100 mines, and the prevention and control of mine dust—have delivered a comprehensive package of measures for the transformation and upgrading of the mining industry. “ Small, scattered, chaotic, and polluting ” The situation in mining development has been completely reversed, and the ecological environment of mining areas has undergone a fundamental transformation.

　　The meeting emphasized the need to gain a profound understanding of the new situation and new requirements facing green development in the mining industry today. At this stage, China’s economic development has shifted from a phase of high-speed growth to one of high-quality development. Promoting high-quality development not only presents a rare historical opportunity for the transformation and upgrading of traditional mining industries but also poses serious practical challenges to them. We must deeply recognize that, to adapt to the new situation and new requirements of ecological civilization construction and high-quality development, we must embark on a broad and promising path where mining development goes hand in hand with clear waters and blue skies. Only by adhering to green development can we secure a bright future for the mining industry. To achieve green development in the mining sector, the key lies in properly balancing the relationship between mining development and ecological environmental protection, and firmly grasping the underlying principles therein. “ Change and Constancy ” The underlying logic remains unchanged: the foundational and strategic role of the mining industry in the national economy has not changed; the supporting function of mineral resources for related industries has not changed; and the role of mineral resources in providing material guarantees for human economic and social activities has not changed. What has changed are the structure of demand and the types of products, as well as the methods used to explore and develop mineral resources and the model of mining industry development. Only by clearly understanding the balance between development and protection... “ Change and Constancy ” Only by understanding the logical relationships can we further strengthen our confidence and better promote green development in the mining industry.

　　The meeting clarified that the overall guiding principle for Zhejiang’s green development in the mining sector over the next five years is: taking Xi Jinping’s Thought on Ecological Civilization as our guide, fully implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the important instructions delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping regarding Zhejiang’s work, and following the guidelines set forth at the Third Plenary Session of the 14th Provincial Party Committee. “‘ The 88 Strategy ’ Deepen reform and opening-up, and set off anew. ” Deployment requirements: Unswervingly uphold the new development philosophy, unswervingly adhere to the socialist ecological civilization outlook, and unswervingly ensure that resources benefit the people and ecology serves the people. Focusing on the goal of promoting green development in the mining industry, we will comprehensively implement [measures]. “8553” The Green Mining Initiative continuously refines the institutional mechanisms and policy frameworks for green mining development, striving to forge a new path for green mining development that balances resource security with ecological protection, coordinates mine construction with the preservation of clear waters and lush mountains, and aligns enterprise development with the aspirations of the people—thus contributing to the building of... “ Beautiful Zhejiang ” , achieve “ Two high levels ” Make positive contributions to the struggle for our goals.

　　 “8553” Green Mining Initiative, that is, by 2022 Year, fully complete the province-wide... 800 The ecological restoration tasks for abandoned mines, as well as newly added mines included in the National Green Mine Construction Database. 500 Homes, providing developable land through the integrated development and utilization of mining sites. 5 Over 10,000 mu, fully completed. 3 More than one demonstration zone for green mining development has been established, fundamentally creating a new landscape of high-quality mining development characterized by stronger protection, more effective safeguards, optimized spatial planning, a more rational structure, more efficient resource utilization, a friendlier environment, more advanced industries, and more comprehensive management.

　　The meeting emphasized that, to achieve the above-mentioned goals, we must adhere to: “ Ecological priority, conservation first; spatial integration, efficiency unity; economical use, circular utilization; scientific and technological innovation, reform and innovation; shared benefits, shared achievements. ” the principle, with a focus on six key areas of work.

　　First, we must resolutely win the battle to safeguard blue skies. In accordance with the principle that regulating an industry also means regulating its ecological impact, we must earnestly implement our responsibilities, refine and break down targets and tasks, further optimize the structure of the mining industry, further specify the准入 conditions for open-pit mining operations, and further promote comprehensive remediation efforts in the mining sector, ensuring that all tasks are carried out effectively and in an orderly manner.

　　II. Deeply advance the special campaign for ecological restoration of abandoned mines. Specifically, regarding abandoned mines... “ Both sides of the two roads “” Four-sided region ” For abandoned mines within the region, it is essential to assign clear restoration responsibilities and ensure that the work progresses smoothly and in an orderly manner. We must strengthen policy support by closely integrating ecological restoration of abandoned mines with comprehensive land remediation across the entire region, the linkage between increases and decreases in urban and rural construction land, and rural revitalization efforts, and proceed accordingly. “ If it’s suitable for forestry, then forest; if it’s suitable for farming, then farm; if it’s suitable for construction, then build; if it’s suitable for scenic views, then preserve the scenery; if it’s suitable for cultural development, then promote culture. ” The principle is to adopt a tailored approach for each mine, maximizing the overall effectiveness of restoration efforts. We must strengthen quality management and strictly prohibit using restoration as a pretext for actual mining activities. We should intensify supervision and assessment, ensuring that each restored site is properly closed and removed from the records once completed.

　　III. Fully deepen the work of green mine construction. Except for mining rights with remaining concession terms of... 1 With the exception of open-pit mines that have been operating for less than one year and do not yet possess mechanized sand and gravel processing equipment, all newly established and operating mines shall carry out green mine construction in accordance with the industry-specific Green Mine Construction Standards issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Localities must further implement the principal responsibility of mining enterprises and provide guidance and supervision to ensure that enterprises strictly adhere to these standards. “ Enterprise establishment, third-party assessment, compliance and inclusion in the registry, information disclosure ” The requirement is to comprehensively carry out green mine construction work.

　　IV. Accelerate the comprehensive development and utilization of mining and land resources. This year, the first batch across the province... 24 The pilot project must be carried out in accordance with... “ Quickly develop mines, develop large-scale mines, and bring land into production early. ” On the premise of ensuring safety and effectively protecting the ecological environment, further accelerate the implementation progress of the project to ensure that land is made available at an early date. Through pilot programs, we should identify and promote a number of exemplary cases, providing practical experience for wider implementation across the entire province.

　　V. Vigorously promote the development of green mining demonstration zones. The construction of green mines is... “ Point ” The implementing entity is the mining enterprise; the construction of a green mining development demonstration zone is... “ surface ” The implementing body is the local government. Building on the pilot program for the construction of the nation’s first green mining development demonstration zone in Huzhou City, we will launch the construction of green mining demonstration zones in Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, and Qujiang District, Quzhou City. We aim to develop these demonstration zones into model areas for ecological civilization building in the mining sector—showcasing rational resource utilization and the application of advanced technologies and equipment; serving as exemplary regions for ecological protection and harmonious coexistence between mining activities and local communities; and pioneering areas for coordinated development between resource exploitation and socio-economic growth.

　　Six, continuously improve the institutional framework for green development. In line with the requirements of advancing the modernization of governance capacity and governance systems, we will focus on establishing a green development institutional framework for the mining industry that features stringent controls at the source, rigorous management throughout the process, and severe penalties for violations.

　　Developing green mining benefits both the present generation and future generations. The conference called upon land and resources departments at all levels across the province to adopt the spirit of fighters and trailblazers, strengthen organizational coordination, deepen reform and innovation, and reinforce their sense of responsibility. Focusing on high quality, competitiveness, and modernization, they should forge ahead with determination, continue writing new chapters, and strive vigorously to usher in a new era of green development for Zhejiang’s mining industry.

　　During the meeting, participants conducted on-site inspections of the demonstration project for the comprehensive utilization of abandoned mine sites in the South Taihu Green Manufacturing Industrial Park and the Damaishan Limestone Mine of Huzhou Southern Mining Co., Ltd. “ Extract while remedying. ” Demonstration projects, including the Taihu Dragon Dream Paradise social-capital implementation project for the remediation of abandoned mines; the launch ceremony for Zhejiang Province’s Green Mine Label and the green mine flag-awarding ceremony; the Huzhou Municipal Bureau of Land and Resources and other relevant authorities. 8 The unit will deliver a statement (expressing its position) for exchange.
