The implementation of planned exploration and mining management for specific types of minerals such as rare earths and tungsten for protective mining is a requirement of China's mineral resources laws and regulations. Starting from 2002, the Ministry of Commerce issued an annual tungsten mine total control index for tungsten mining companies nationwide for eight consecutive years. From 2006, the Ministry of Mines issued a total rare earth mining control index for rare earth mining enterprises for four consecutive years starting in 2009. For Yankuang, 2010, total control of fluorspar and high-aluminum clay mining will be implemented. In November 2009, the Ministry of Land and Resources promulgated the Interim Measures for the Administration of the Exploration and Exploitation of Specific Minerals for Protective Mining, which clearly stipulates that the relevant provincial (autonomous regions and municipalities) land and resources management departments shall make use of the reserves, exploitation and utilization of the mining enterprises in their respective jurisdictions. The level of resource utilization, etc., will be used to decompose the control indicators into the mining enterprises. The list of companies and the breakdown of indicators should be publicized to the public. The results of the public announcement shall be announced and reported to the Ministry of Land and Resources for the record. The Ministry of Land and Resources shall announce to the society the implementation of the decomposition of the national control indicators. Total mining control and management is beneficial to the protection and scientific utilization of China's advantageous mineral resources. In 2010, the Ministry of Land and Resources decided to launch a special rectification campaign for the development of rare earth minerals from June to November.
The implementation of total amount control indicators for rare earth, tungsten, antimony, high-alumina clay, and fluorite minerals is one of the main contents of this special rectification action, and it is also an important basis for conducting strict examinations and serious rewards and punishments after special operations acceptance. In the special rectification operations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requires all localities to fully publicize the list of mining companies, and the total control indicators are decomposed and submitted to the Ministry of Land and Resources for the record. All localities actively combined and implemented the actual implementation, Yunnan Province will be issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources in 2010 tungsten mine tantalum ore and rare earth ore mining total control indicators reached the relevant mining enterprises, and in the provincial office to be announced. In Inner Mongolia, the total control index for rare earth and tungsten ore mining was specifically decomposed into every mining enterprise for publicity, a strict statistical reporting system was established, and the implementation of indicators was supervised and inspected. Zhejiang Province decomposed the total amount of mining control indicators to the mining enterprises for publicity, and clarified the responsibilities and obligations of the relevant municipal and county land and resources bureaus and mining enterprises. As of July 20, there were seventeen provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Hubei, Guangdong, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang. The Ministry of Land and Resources reported the implementation of the decomposition of total quantity control indicators for rare earths, tungsten, antimony, high alumina clay, and fluorite mines, including eight provinces (autonomous regions and cities) in Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, and Xinjiang. ) A public announcement has been made to the society on the list of mining companies and the breakdown of the total control indicators. The seven provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in Inner Mongolia, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Chongqing, Guizhou, and Qinghai implemented the responsibility for the control of total mining volume and the system of contracts.
