From April 12th to 14th, the Central and South Regional Geological Exploration (Mining) Director’s Seminar was held in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. According to the arrangement of the Geological Exploration Department of the Ministry of Finance, a research team composed of relevant comrades from the Geological Exploration Department, the Economic Research Institute, and the China Mining Federation Geological Exploration Branch participated.

held a seminar and conducted a special survey on the reform and development of geological exploration units.

The relevant situation is briefly reported as follows.

1. Basic information of the meeting This seminar for geological prospecting directors in Central and South China was co-organized by the Geological Prospecting Department of the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Henan Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. Representatives attending the meeting included the geological prospecting directors of six provinces (districts) in Central and South China.

and relevant personnel. Those invited to attend the meeting included the heads of the China Mining Federation Geological Exploration Association, newspapers, Gansu and other 7 provincial geological prospecting bureaus, and relevant geological prospecting units in Henan Province. About 70 representatives attended the meeting.

The meeting conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges around the implementation of the "State Council's Decision on Strengthening Geological Work", strengthening geological work, achieving new major breakthroughs in mineral prospecting, and serving local economic and social development.

Representatives at the seminar believed that after the promulgation of the "Decision", the overall situation of geological exploration work across the country has developed well, and geological work has entered a period of rapid development.

First, governments at all levels attach great importance to strengthening geological work. The relevant provincial (regional) governments conscientiously implement the spirit of the "State Council's Decision on Strengthening Geological Work", including issuing implementation opinions, convening geological work meetings, and drafting supporting documents.

Many positive and effective measures have been taken in increasing investment in geological exploration work, strengthening management of the geological exploration industry, and implementing relevant policies.

Second, geological exploration units have generally accelerated the pace of reform and development. They have done a lot of work around achieving breakthroughs in prospecting, improving service capabilities, improving systems and mechanisms, adjusting team structures, and integrating into local economic development, and have achieved many positive developments and new results.

.

The seminar carefully analyzed the new situation faced by current geological work.

Generally speaking, it is believed that, on the one hand, due to the favorable market factors of the current "mining boom" at home and abroad, geological work is facing rare development opportunities; on the other hand, whether the entire geological exploration industry can achieve sustainable development deserves attention and research.

Representatives believe that there is still a certain gap between current geological work and the needs of economic and social development. Geological exploration units must have a sense of urgency and crisis, further focus on the needs of national and local economic development, adhere to the direction of reform, and further enhance resource security capabilities and

Comprehensive service functions, enhance capabilities in development, and seek status in service.

Participants believed that this meeting was a success. For the first time, the Central and South Regional Geological Exploration Directors’ Meeting was co-organized by the Geological Exploration Department of the Ministry of Land and Resources, which reflected the importance and strengthening of the management of the geological exploration industry by the Ministry of Land and Resources.

Through exchanges and discussions, it is conducive to reflecting the prevailing issues in the industry, exchanging experiences, and better promoting the formulation and implementation of industry policies.

2. Basic situation of the special survey According to the arrangement of the Geological Exploration Department, the research team organized a special survey together with the Department of Land and Resources, focusing on the reform and development model of geological exploration units, and invited the Henan Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, the Nonferrous Metals Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, the Coalfield Geology Bureau,

The Nuclear Industry Geology Bureau and other geological exploration units held special discussions, and conducted key surveys on grassroots geological exploration units such as the Henan Geological Survey Institute.

(1) Relevant situation of geological exploration industry management The Henan Provincial Land and Resources Management Department has strengthened the management of the geological exploration industry, carried out a large number of industry surveys, actively coordinated with relevant provincial departments to implement relevant policies on the reform and development of geological exploration, and carefully reflected the existence of geological exploration units.

difficulties and problems.

In order to make the relevant implementation policies operable, the provincial geological exploration industry authorities have attached great importance to the role of geological exploration units in the implementation process of relevant policies, invited geological exploration units to participate many times, repeatedly coordinated and solicited opinions, and jointly studied and formulated

Relevant supporting implementation policies.

Focusing on the mining rights management issues that geological exploration units are concerned about, comrades from the industry management department introduced the general situation.

The setting and management of exploration rights in Henan Province are divided into three categories by region: the first is prohibited exploration areas, mainly areas such as nature reserves where exploration and development are prohibited; the second is restricted exploration areas, which are targeted at key mineralization zones and are mainly managed by the state.

The province has invested in strengthening geological surveys and established a large number of mineral adjustment projects (such as two-right price projects). State-owned geological exploration units are encouraged to apply for these projects. After the projects are completed and submitted, they are openly "recruited, auctioned, and listed" to the public, and the income or shares are

15% goes to the geological exploration unit.

According to reports, this can prevent a large mineralization zone from being dismembered into several small-scale mineral rights, and is conducive to promoting reasonable exploration and development of resources.

The third is the free declaration area.

Generally, the principle of "first come first served" applies. If there are overlapping applications, they will be awarded through "recruitment, auction, and listing".

It is understood that Henan Province also implements "recruit, shoot and hang" for some blank areas that are considered to be relatively good.

(2) The reform and development model of one team (academy) and one company. Geological exploration units such as the Henan Provincial Geological Survey Bureau and the Coalfield Geology Bureau basically follow the "team-as-a-unit" reform model.

In accordance with the principle of separation of services and enterprises, and based on reality, the Henan Provincial Geological Exploration Bureau proposed a reform and development model of "based on teams, one team, one company" to realize the separate operation of services and enterprises.

Based on the team, the purpose is to retain the business identity; the purpose of establishing companies (resource-based companies and technical service companies) is to explore and promote internal enterpriseization.

The overall idea is to achieve "two lean and one transition" (a lean business, a lean enterprise, and a gradual transition of social coordination).
