Resource Security is Still the Guarantee of the World’s Economic Development

Source: www.mlr.gov.cn  Citation: www.chinamining.com.cn  Date: Nov.2, 2013

Enjoying the gentle ocean breezes from Bohai Gulf, we get together here again as scheduled------

Under the approval of the State Council, the four-day CHINA MINING Congress and Expo 2013 was held at Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center in Tianjin as scheduled. We express our warm congratulations on smooth convening of CHINA MINING

The main themes of the congress “Opportunity，Challenge，Development” determined by organizers which has showed the message and mission this time. Except the opening ceremony, CHINA MINING would hold three main forums including theme forum, foreign mining minister forum and Enterprise Development Forum, 34 streams and 10 promotion conferences of national projects. At the same time, there will be the awards party and a series of distinct features of all kinds of exhibitions, etc during the congress. Meanwhile, the relevant sides will focus on boosting Chinese government’s strategic methods including Strengthening exploration and development of domestic mineral resources, promoting the transformation of mining industry development methods, innovating management and services on exploration and exploitation of geology and mineral resources. Some special subjects will be discussed on the situation of the global mineral resources, the international minerals market, mining industry and financial capital market, the sustainable development of mining industry, the geological prospecting and technological innovation, mining resource saving and multiple use, green mine and harmonious mining deposit construction and organize native and external related sides to negotiate and exchanges mining cooperation projects. Threading up the demands of global resources development, CHINA MINING adds the coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas forums and investment special forum of preliminary exploration enterprises. This congress will pursue efforts to absorb new technologies and ways such as new energy development and utilization, deep mineral exploration, high precision detection, and so on and enhance our countries ability in technological innovation.

These have undoubtedly set up an important platform  for strengthening pragmatic cooperation between Chinese and foreign mining fields, providing the solid guarantee for pre-set agendas for complete success of congress and paving the way for seizing the opportunity, facing the challenge and promoting development.

It is understood that this congress has received high attention and positive response from international mining industry, attracting more than 4000 delegate both at home and abroad from more than 40 countries (regions) of the world. Mining minister or deputy minister from Australia, Canada, Peru, Ethiopia, India, Greenland, Sudan, Serbia and other countries and regions are invited to attend the congress, covering important resources courtiers of continents. senior management personnel from the world bank, the world resources institute, the world wide fund for nature, the committee on foreign investment in Chile, Rio Tinto, Eldorado gold corporation, royal bank of Canada, the Canadian metals economics group, standard bank, the bank of Montreal, Toronto stock exchange, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Pricewaterhouse coopers, the international council on mining and metals, Russia chamber of commerce and so on. More than 80 international organizations, foreign mining companies, financial institutions, consultancy, industry association are invited to attend the congress, too. The representatives from domestic many large enterprises, geological exploration units and financial investment institutions and society are stronger and promised to come. 

At present, the global economy is difficult to recover. Even though current global mining has appeared a certain degree of adjustment and contraction, but positive fundamentals have not changed. The industrialization and urbanization of emerging countries are promoting continuously and will maintain a strong demand for resources for quite a long period of time. From the perspective of China, economic development has entered a new stage, facing many new situations and new problems. But on the whole, China is still at the stage of middle industrialization, which also is the key stage of informatization , urbanization and agricultural modernization. Promoting the industrialization and urbanization needs large-scale infrastructure construction including constructing highway, railway, airport, solving the problem of farmers entering into the city, improving the housing conditions of urban households and also needs to develop real estate. These will drive the steel, cement, building materials, construction machinery and other heavy industry and light industry, such as household appliances, household consumer goods development, which need the support of energy minerals and mineral raw materials to support. At the same time, as a "world factory”, China is expected to needs product a large number of machinery and equipment, household item for all countries in the world, which will also consume large amounts of mineral resources each year.

The latest economic data shows that it is no problem for china to achieve 7.5% growth in China`s economy this year. From a long-term perspective, through the transformation and upgrading of economic structure adjustment , China can fundamentally solve the problem of sustainable development of economy for decades and ensure that the implementation of Chinese dream on schedule. According to the mainstream view, at least the next 20 years, China`s economy has the ability to achieve more than 7% of the average annual growth rate and China will continue to be the most important engine of the world economy, which will drive mineral exploration, geological exploration and great demand of energy resources.

Accordingly,, after analyzing the development trend of the world`s major economies in the next 10 years to 15 years, and the pattern of resource supply and demand, the experts believed that in the next 10 to 15 years, because of being driven by the industrialization of brics countries and the developing countries, global commodity demand focus will shift from developed countries to developing countries and the global mining industry will enter a new boom. But at the same time, the contradiction between supply and demand of global resources will be further highlighted. Experts estimate that, due to the huge demand for domestic and international market, China`s demand for mineral resources will continue until after 2025. In a long time, China`s demand for mineral resources will continue to grow. Therefore, the difficulty of mining is temporary. In the long run, mining prospect remains bright.

It would be specially mentioned that this conference placed science and technology innovation, mineral resources saving and comprehensive utilization, green mining, and construction of harmonious mining area in the agenda and organized bespoke conferences, which shows conference organizers have clearly understood the countries are not balanced in the development of the mining technology. Especially there are the realistic problems on high efficient development, low utilization, waste precious of mineral resources in brics countries’ mining development. How the developed countries transfer the mineral development of advanced technology and management experience to developing countries in an effective way and how Developing countries change the pattern of mining development as soon as possible and realize green development and ecological development should become the problems being commonly concerned and strived to solve around the world, which also is the importance of the meeting.

So, under the new situation of international economy and mining, the conference is closely around the theme of "opportunity, challenge and development". it has the unusual significance to strengthen the study and judge on international mining and the economic situation, to strengthen the analysis of important minerals market and price trend, to strive to seize the current mining situation of new opportunities, to enhance the confidence of mining development at home and abroad and to strive to resolve a lot of problems on the use of the mining process of global economic prosperity and civilization. （translated by TLRHVC）

Face the Challenges, Seize the Opportunities, Analyze the Situations, and Focus on the services

------Take you To CHINA MINING Congress and Expo 2013

Abstract

On the first Saturday of November, CHINA MINING Congress and Expo 2013 will meet with you again in Tianjin on schedule. Perhaps this is the last time to meet you in November. Starting from next year, this event will be advanced to October 20 to 23 every year.

Each mining event exerts an edifying influence on people from the mining industry. What’s the future development of the global mining industry? What is the role of China in world mining pattern, and how will China develop? What are the highlights of this event? What forums will arouse your interest?

Therefore, in combination with the agenda, through analyzing the key words such as “opportunity, challenge and development", "minerals situation",  “private corporations going abroad", "building the service platform", "prospecting new technology and new method", “the harmonious development of green mining", the reporters reviewed and forecasted what you might be concerned and introduced the background of the reform and development of China’s mining industry in recent years, which they hope are helpful and useful to you.

Key words: Opportunity, Challenge, Development

According to the institutional analysis, the pattern of the international mining industry has entered a stage of the deep adjustment with the deep influence of international financial crisis.

In terms of the current situation, the development of the global mining industry has slowed down and appeared a certain degree of adjustment and contraction, which has become a reality.

 “Strengthen international cooperation and accelerate prospecting breakthrough” has always been the theme of CHINA MINING Congress and Expo. The theme of CHINA MINING 2011 was “strengthen international cooperation and speed up the prospecting breakthrough”.  Li Keqiang, politburo member and vice premier, emphasized in the congratulatory letter. that China would adhere to domestic efforts, rely on technological progress and institutional innovation, strengthen geological prospecting and comprehensive utilization of resources, raise efficiency of utilization of minerals support capability and promote a long-term, stable and rapid economic development. At the same time, China would actively participate in international mining mutual benefit cooperation, and take advantage of "two markets and two resources" to play a constructive role for the development and prosperity of the global mining industry. Xu Shaoshi, the Minister of Land and Resources, put forward the cultural concept of "HE (meaning harmony in Chinese and it leads to symbiosis, and difference” which was refreshing.

The theme of CHINA MINING 2012 was "joint hands to promote mutual development" which fully reflected the desire of the international mining industry to promote cooperation in form of unity and promote development in form of cooperation according to Xu Shaoshi.

The theme of CHINA MINING 2013 is “Opportunity, Challenge, and Development". The word "Challenge" was included into the theme only in 2008 when the international mining industry was under financial crisis. The word “Opportunity” only appeared in the theme of CHINA MINING 2009. At that time, MINING Congress and Expo called on the mining industry from all countries to seize the opportunity to promote stability and prosperity of international mining industry, the recovery and development of world economy.

The combination of “Opportunity, Challenge, Development" reflects the grasp of the whole mining industry by China’s mining industry under the current international situation and also utters “Chinese good voice” to the world’s mining industry.

What have to be mentioned are the opening ceremony and the keynote sessions on November 3. Then, government senior officials, business executives and industry experts at home and abroad will deliver speeches on the topic. During the themed events on the morning of November 4, ministers and deputy ministers from mining industry, global mining officials will discuss the global mining development opportunities and mining in the future. The content would make you think more on global mining development opportunity and the future development strategies.

Key words: Private Mining Companies “go abroad”

In recent years, various types of enterprises in China have achieved significant achievements in international cooperation such as mineral resources exploration and development, and processing trade.

However, the overseas exploration and development of mineral resources are not satisfactory because our enterprises are not familiar with the rules of the international mining industry, weak in international market development capability, short of experience in international cooperation, and so on.

In 2012, the ministry of land and resources focused on the information service, strengthened the international guidance and support in geology and mineral resources, and compiled the mining investment guide, important national mining law, and world mining consultancy list, etc, for dozens of countries and regions.

China Mining Association set up a private mining branch, which meant private mining finally had his own "home". One of the three important tasks was to create conditions to help private enterprises “go abroad”.

Since this year, China Mining Association has centered on how to “go abroad” and, how we can go further to do a lot of work. They also put forward China`s mining industry "go abroad" plan: “The private enterprises are the first to go abroad with the support of geological exploration enterprises and finances, followed by big mining companies. Private and exploration companies form new productivity through the development of holdings and meanwhile leave some shares to secure benefit. Large listed companies make development, which results in win-win situation. “

Like the previous, there will be an important sector to introduce our private enterprises "go out" financing and investment as well as how to avoid risks in outbound investment; the introduction on "go out" policy support, the social responsibility and self-discipline, and the cases analysis on outbound investment success and failure. On November 2, there will be the forum on “Investment and Financing of China`s Private companies” the whole afternoon. I hope you don`t miss it.

Key Words:  the Situation of Minerals

The analysis on the situation of minerals was the focus of the past MINING Congress and Expo.

CHINA MINING 2013 is no exception. What is the supply and demand situation of Iron ore? What are the price trends of gold, platinum and other precious metals? What are the prospects of other metals, nonmetals and uranium products? The themed event on minerals, the essential part of the past MINING Congress and Expo will be held on time.

Coal situation, which was rarely talked about during the past annual congress, becomes the hot topic. The themed event on coal is included.

As is known to all, the price of coal fell sharply since the downlink channel was opened last year. In the first half of this year, the coal industry fell to the bottom after several rounds of big adjustment, and came to the most difficult period in history.

Out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss. Ups and downs coexist. The coal industry began to improve after a year’s depression in the second half of the year. Now, with continuous good policy and downward pressure, what will be the trend of coal price? What is the supply and demand status at present and in the future? The above will be discussed during the stream.

Except coal, there are oil and natural gas. The development and reserve status of oil and natural gas and the forecast of prices will be discussed during the stream on oil and natural gas.

From the forum on coal, oil, natural gas on the afternoon of November 2, to the forum on iron ore and gold on the afternoon of November 3, from the forum on precious metals such as silver, platinum and other base metals to the forum on uranium, other metals and nonmetals on November 5, you will have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the price trends of the main minerals now and in the future, the supply and demand situation and the development of new projects.

Key Words: Build Platforms

Mining cooperation project promotion at home and abroad becomes beautiful scenery every year during CHINA MINING.

The mining cooperation projects and investment opportunities will be focused on such countries and regions as central Asia, Chile, Canada, Australia, Greenland, Peru, Argentina and Africa, which builds a platform for the domestic and foreign mining companies to promote mining cooperation projects.

In addition, “Asia investment forum” will be held, which focuses on the mining cooperation opportunities among the Asian countries, the investment policies of mineral exploration development, and the case analysis of foreign direct investment in Asia. The above will be the first time in recent successive mining conference.

It should be mentioned that “focus on service” will be given greater prominence.

Except the policy introduction on project promotion according to regions, streams on China international mining investment, overseas investment policy and risk interpretation, the methods and channels of mining financing, the performance and future trend analysis of mineral assets, mining company`s demand for capital and financing, the global exploration development trend and opportunity are also held. Among them, the present status of the mining enterprise overseas investment during China international mining investment stream will be fully introduced with the deep analysis of relevant risks, and full coverage of overseas investment trends. “The social responsibility guidelines of China overseas mining corporate" will be released, which guides the healthy and orderly development of overseas investment. This stream, guided by Ministry of Commerce, PRC, will be one of the highlights of greatest concern.

For those companies which want to “go abroad”, the above will be very usef

In addition to the opening ceremony and the keynote session on the morning of November 3 and 4, streams on Policies & Financing will run through the entire CHINA MINING.

Key words: Mining Green Development

Mining green development is the inevitable choice of ecological civilization construction, and an important way in promoting the transformation of the development mode.

Ten days ago, the experience exchange on recycling economy of China’s mining industry (green and harmonious mine) was held in Luoyang, Henan, with the theme "Change the Way of Development through Green Harmony".

In recent years, according to the relevant requirements of “Guidance on the implementation of national natural resources plan to develop and construct green mining”, the Ministry of Land and Resources gives full play to the functions of departments, transforms the green mine construction as the mode of mining development, promotes the intensive and efficient utilization of resources, promotes the overall image of mining, and strengthens the construction of ecological civilization, improves the livelihood of the people, safeguards the rights and interests of the masses to promote social harmony, which has achieved obvious results together with all relevant aspects and areas.  

So far, 459 mining enterprises have been identified in three batches as the national green pilot units, covering oil, coal, nonferrous metal, metallurgy, gold, chemical industry, building materials and non-metallic mining industry and etc, which has played a leading role in the efficient use of resources, innovative technology, energy conservation and emissions reduction, reforming environment, the promotion of local economic and social development. At present, the declaration of the fourth batch of national green mine construction is in steady progress.
