Recently, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Natural Resources published the General Plan for Mineral Resources in Sichuan Province (2021-2025) (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). There are eight chapters in the Plan, including the current situation, guiding principles and objectives, the layout of exploration, development and protection, breakthroughs in geological exploration and prospecting, efficient utilization of resources, green development of mining industry, reform and innovation of mining administration, and planning safeguards.
The Plan points out that by 2025, the amount of important mineral resources will increase steadily, the ability of mineral resources security will be improved, the spatial layout of exploration, development and protection will be further optimized, the level of resource conservation, intensiveness and efficient utilization will be significantly improved, and the development of green mining industry will achieve positive results. A new pattern of coordinated development between mineral resources exploration and exploitation, national economic and social development, and ecological and environmental protection has basically taken shape. During
the 14th Five-Year Plan period, 10-15 large and medium-sized mineral deposits of strategic mineral resources were newly discovered. Coal resources increased by 100 million tons, vanadium-titanium magnetite by 100 million tons, copper (metal) by 250,000 tons, gold (metal) by 20 tons, lithium (Li2O) by 800,000 tons, rare earth (REO) by 300,000 tons, phosphate rock by 400 million tons, graphite (mineral) by 9 million tons and limestone for cement by 200 million tons. In the
development and utilization of
mineral resources, by 2025, It is estimated that the annual production of natural gas (shale gas) will reach 63 billion cubic meters, 30-40 million tons of coal, 70 million tons of vanadium-titanium magnetite, 3 million tons of copper ore, 1 million tons of gold ore, 1 million tons of lithium ore, 20-25 million tons of phosphate ore, 300000 tons of pyrite, 10 million tons of mirabilite and 5 million tons of salt ore. 100 million tons of limestone for cement and 550 million tons of sandstone for construction. In terms of
mine development layout and structure, the number of mines is expected to be reduced to 3200, and the number of sand and stone mines and brick and tile building materials mines will be strictly controlled within 800 and 660, with the proportion of large and medium-sized mines in the province reaching 25%. In terms of
sand and gravel, we should strengthen the management and control of the development and utilization of sand and gravel resources.
Actively carry out the investigation and evaluation of sand and stone resources for construction. Taking the county-level administrative region as a unit, the special investigation and evaluation of sand and gravel resources for construction is carried out to find out the distribution, resources, development and utilization conditions and the available direction of sand and gravel resources, so as to provide a basis for scientific planning of sand and gravel mining layout. Strengthen the construction of sand and stone resource base for construction. The development of sand and gravel resources is scientifically planned according to the three levels of sand and gravel resource base, sand and gravel centralized mining area and sand and gravel planning and mining block, with emphasis on promoting the construction of sand and gravel resource base. Based on the needs of urban development, major transportation and water conservancy infrastructure construction and livelihood projects in Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, Mianyang, Leshan, Yibin, Ya'an, Dazhou and other places will be supported, with abundant resources, convenient transportation and environmental capacity as the basis for centralized mining areas. A number of large-scale construction sand and gravel production bases of 10 million tons will be laid out to ensure the supply and price of sand and gravel resources.
Define the guarantee direction of sand and stone resources for regional construction. Mianyang, Leshan, Ya'an and other cities, through regional coordination, provide resource guarantee for key projects such as Sichuan-Xizang Railway, Chengdu-Chongqing Middle Line, infrastructure and urban construction in Chengdu Plain; The supply of sand and gravel resources in eastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan and Panxi areas centers on the development of regional central cities and the construction layout of key projects such as railways, highways and airports. In order to ensure the construction of livelihood projects, Liangshan, Bazhong and other areas with inconvenient transportation can set up appropriate sand and gravel mining planning blocks for construction, while in other areas, in principle, only centralized sand and gravel mining areas for construction can be set up; The Northwest Sichuan Eco-economic Zone strictly implements the ecological barrier of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River and the requirements of national ecological security, reduces the impact of sand and gravel mining for open-air construction on the plateau ecological environment, encourages Ganzi and Aba to transfer sand and gravel resources for construction into reserve areas along major infrastructure construction, and does a good job in sand and gravel resources reserve to ensure the needs of major infrastructure construction. Encourage and support the comprehensive utilization of waste rock, slag and tailings, and promote the recycling of machine-made sand and gravel resources.
Optimize the development intensity and structure of sand, stone and soil resources. The total number of sand and gravel mines for construction in the province and the total annual mining capacity are controlled at about 800 and 550 million tons. Municipalities (prefectures) should actively promote intensive, large-scale and base production of sand and gravel. In principle, the mining scale of new mining planning blocks in sand and gravel resource bases should not be less than 5 million tons per year, and the service life should not be less than 10 years; The minimum mining scale of the new mining planning block outside the sand and gravel resource base shall not be less than 500,000 tons/year, and the service life shall not be less than 10 years; for the key engineering construction and rural revitalization projects, the production scale shall not be less than 200,000 tons/year, and the service life shall be linked with the project construction period. After the expiration of the project, the ecological restoration of the mining area shall be carried out in time, and the mining right shall be cancelled according to the procedures. Strictly control the number of brick and tile building materials mines, the total number of mines in the province is controlled within 660, the production scale of new brick and tile building materials mines is not less than 200000 tons per year, and the service life is not less than 10 years.
