Sustainable Mining and Metallurgy

The rapid development of economy has put forward higher requirements for the development and utilization of mineral resources in China. Promoting the development of green mines is the only way to balance resources and environment. This paper pointed out the problems existing in the construction of green mines in China, including the unscientific evaluation mechanism, the inability of evaluation standards to accurately guide the construction of green mines, the lack of endogenous power of enterprises, and the inability of economic benefits of enterprises to support the construction of green mines, and proposed solutions from the three dimensions of relevant government departments, third-party evaluation institutions and enterprises. The government should do a good job in top-level design, improve the policy and standard support system, train a group of third-party institutions and evaluation experts with evaluation ability, guide enterprises to establish a green mine management system, upgrade and transform the production system in the process of green mine construction, reduce the operation cost of enterprises, hedge the capital investment in the construction of green mines, and focus on establishing the balance of resources and environment such as mineral resources balance, energy balance, carbon balance, water balance, solid waste balance and land balance, so as to promote the construction of green mines.
