On November 2 ~ 5, 2013 CHINA MINING was held at Tianjin Meijing Convention and Exhibition Center. Now, the world economy is going through difficult recovery, and global mining is still recovering. For the organizers, holding such meeting will undoubtedly take more risks.
But the concern is useless, as the number of delegates attending the meeting was so large. According to the data released by CHINA MINING Organizing Committee.

After half past eight, On November 3rd, the large conference room which could accommodate thousands of people had been crowded with people. At 9 o `clock, Xu Deming, vice minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources, declared the opening of the conference.
According to the information published, in recent years, China`s key metallogenic zone 1:50000 regional geology and mineral resources survey coverage increased by 5% per year, and completed 25 kinds of important mineral resources potential evaluation, such as iron, copper, aluminum, and potassium, etc. For the oil, natural gas, coal and uranium, molybdenum, nickel, it had discovered a group of world-class reserves of ore deposits, which made the mining capacity increase from 6.8 billion tons to 10 billion tons. Besides, coal, copper, iron, phosphorus and other minerals mining recovery rate, ore dressing recovery rate and comprehensive utilization increased by 0.5 ~ 1%.
Jiang Daming, the minister of The Ministry of Land and Resources, made the comment for China`s mining industry: the sustainable and healthy development of China`s mining industry not only effectively supported the construction of modernization in China, but also made an important contribution for global mining and stable development.
As the host, the booth of Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources attracted a lot of industry experts to visit and consult. At the same time, the booths from provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities also attracted many industry experts to visit. According to their own circumstances, they made detailed materials. The delegates from domestic and foreign mining companies could directly get the information from the official window which made them feel fruitful.
The achievement that Provincial departmental and some large exploration company achieved showed China’s mining industry had a large market owning great developing potential.
Jiang Daming said that the economy had entered into a new stage of rapid growth; the Chinese government should give priority to the transformation of the mode of development and adjustment of the economic structure. The government should keep the independent innovation as the core strategy, the release of "dividend" reform and give play to the role of the market as the developing power, make the synchronous rapid advance in industrialization, informatization, urbanization and agricultural modernization, and make the quality and efficiency of economic development steadily rising.
Jiang Daming said the Chinese government attached great importance to the mining industry`s ability to support economic development, vigorously promote mining industry’s scientific development, through the implementation of prospecting breakthrough strategy, comprehensive utilization of resources, green mining and harmonious mining area construction, we could increase resource supporting capability, change the pattern of resources using and improve the efficiency of resource utilization.
Building Mining Communication Platform
"Hello, welcome!" In front of the foreign government booths, foreigners with different colors of skin greeted you. A phrase like that had become an international language here.
Before a foreign booth, there were couplets played "a fence is holed by three piles, a brave man is helped by three people" which is a Chinese old saying. With great affinity and typical Chinese cultural features, they won a lot of attention for the platform.
During the Mining congress, as long as you take out the card to exchange, there would be a lot of big mining company managers to exchange with you. Therefore, CHINA MINING could be called the feast of mining’s managers.
CHINA MINING has been held for 15 years. For the past 15 years, the original of the conference has not been changed. That is connecting the Chinese mining industry with the international mining industry to introduce to the international mining industry. Through the presentation of the mining investment policy and environment in our country, we can strengthen exchanges and cooperation between enterprises and promote the exploitation of mineral resources “introduced in" and "going out".
China`s economy has entered into the new stage of development with innovation driving and scientific development. In the third plenary session of the upcoming eighteen of the communist party of China, important strategic deployment will be made to deepen reform. Therefore, the important mission is to further deepening the reform and opening up of the mining industry, improve the ability of domestic mineral resources comprehensive security, and ensure the continued development of the Chinese economy.
Reporters shuttled between different booths; they saw people discussing the business. The exhibition had become an indispensable platform. In the stream forum, the experts and scholars were researching and discussing. Through the conversation between experts and scholars, foreign representative could enhance the understanding of China and China`s mining which would help them to make objective and rational judgments.
During the mining congress, many foreigners chatted with people in Chinese. They talked at the door of the meeting room or at the instant of the leisure rest against the wall, even in the bathroom door. The hands with different color of skin held together. Delegates and exhibitors in different countries and nations chatted in a manner of Chinese and do business with each other. Many foreign representatives said they hoped that they can communicate through face-to-face to enhance a mutual understanding and build a good relationship for the further cooperation.
"For all kinds of investors, including foreign companies, we will advance the opening up of the mining right market and strive to create open, fair, multiple mineral resources exploration and development investment pattern. At the same time, we will continue to deepen the opening and cooperation of geological and mineral resources field. In accordance with the relevant laws, we encouraged foreign enterprises fully use the capital, technology, management and other advantages to actively participate in China’s mineral resources exploration and development, comprehensive utilization of mineral resources, shale gas exploration and development. Therefore, we can share the development of Chinese mining opportunities." Jiang Daming said, we also supported Chinese companies to make foreign mining investment cooperation, fully take advantage and responsibility, and reach mutually beneficial basis between the host country and local community.
In the Cross-border investment and financing conference, Yang Yirui, director of policy department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in order to build favorable environment and promote bilateral relations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs signed up the foreign investment protection agreement with relevant foreign departments and evaluated investment risks of different countries to provide consultation for the private enterprises. He suggested that if there was any problems with the mining enterprises, they could contact the embassy immediately. Our country was the strongest backing.
Mining stages--- win-win cooperation
"Different countries have different kinds of resources, and mining economy is closely dependent. Therefore, deepen exchanges and cooperation and promote complementary advantages are the paths to realize a win-win development.” Jiang Daming said.
"Now, our relationship has grown into a solid, open and healthy relations between the two countries. We can often frankly communicate with each other. Over the years, we continues to strengthen our diplomatic relations and friendship. Trade between our two countries has increased to $125 billion last year." The Australian industry minister Ian Macfarlane said at the conference.
"For China, I think the supply of rich and reliable natural resources in Australia is an important element for the economic development.” Ian Macfarlane said. As China and the Asia-pacific region continue to develop, the need for the natural resources, especially energy demand, will rise. By 2035, the global per capita resource consumption is expected to increase 20%, while China`s growth will be higher, it is expected to grow by 22%.
Ian Macfarlane said that today people were hungry for resources, secure and clean energy supply in Australia would become an important fulcrum for Chinese economic development, and it would play an important role in the steady development of the whole region.
Obviously, the words that Ian Macfarlane said and the viewpoint of Jiang Daming formed a good echo.
Mr. Guy Saint-Jacques, Canadian ambassador, said that China needed more resources, including minerals, energy, and forestry resources. They had very good basis for mining, and therefore could help China meet the demand and enable the two economies to achieve even greater development and prosperity. Canada had related business with over 100 countries. They had a lot of opportunities, and could also receive global investment, including mining investment from China.
Introduction: Now, Canada has 60 kinds of minerals. The export of several kinds of precious metals rank the world’s top five, and other mining products have become more and more important. Canada is also working on this aspect of the development. Because Canada has very good natural endowment, human resources, and good technologies.
"On the aspects of mining, we all have a lot of knowledge and experience. Therefore, Canada has become a very important country in the global mining exploration, which absorbs 8% of the world`s investment. Canada has good economic foundation and low cost which make a very good investment opportunity. Canada has a very good investment environment; tax policy is also very competitive." Mr. Guy Saint-Jacques said.
As the world`s famous mining giants, obviously, it is representative that Australia and Canada are looking forward to working with China in mining industry. The reporter saw that the booths from the two countries had been more than half of the foreign booths.
As the global financial crisis has not gone, people in the world are envious about Chinese people. Attracting Chinese capital to resources development has become a strong desire for international mining industry.
Take a set of data and then leave a name card. At the conference, this is almost the most basic request of each booth. Take away my profiles; please leave your contact information. Perhaps cooperation will start here. (Li Ping) (Translated by TLRHVC)
