Mining is an important foundation for promoting the sustainable and high-quality development of the economy and society. Faced with numerous difficulties, how can the geological and mining industry find its focus, play a "stabilizing" role in economic and social development, and unlock its "progress" potential? In 2022, a critical year, what hot topics related to the development of the mining industry will the representatives and committee members at the "Two Sessions" focus on? Among the hot topics likely to be of concern to the mining industry, as compiled by the China Mining News, two key issues are included: mine ecological restoration and intelligent mine construction.

 

Mine Ecological Restoration

Elevating mine ecological restoration to the national strategic level is a measure or action taken as society develops to a certain stage and gradually recognizes the equal importance of mining development and the ecological environment, with ecology prioritized over development. It is an important symbol of ecological civilization.
 
As an important component of promoting ecological civilization construction, mine ecological restoration has received high attention from the state and relevant departments. In December 2019, the "Opinions of the Ministry of Natural Resources on Exploring the Use of Market-Oriented Methods to Promote Mine Ecological Restoration" were issued, integrating mine ecological function restoration with subsequent resource development and utilization and industrial development, clarifying a series of incentive policies, and a number of typical examples with promotional and reference value have emerged. In February 2021, the Office of the Ministry of Finance, the Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly issued the "Notice on Organizing the Application for Central Government Financial Support Projects for Integrated Protection and Restoration of Mountains, Rivers, Forests, Fields, Lakes, Grasslands, and Deserts," making the unified promotion of comprehensive, systematic, and source governance of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands, and deserts a consensus.
 
Mine ecological restoration has become paramount in ecological environment restoration.
 

The "14th Five-Year Plan" period will be a critical period for the comprehensive green transformation of China's economic and social development and for achieving a qualitative change in the improvement of ecological environment quality, as well as an important window period for the transformation and upgrading of China's mining industry and the achievement of green and high-quality development. How to integrate mine ecological restoration and green mining development into the mountain-river-forest-field-lake-grass-sand ecosystem, achieve sustainable industrial benefits, achieve the integration of life, production, living, and ecology in mine ecological restoration, enrich and improve the practical examples and replicable experiences of the resonance between green mining development and ecological civilization construction, is the inherent meaning of green mining development and the goal that the industry continues to strive for.

 

Intelligent Mine Construction

Intelligent mines are synonymous with unmanned, safe, efficient, and clean mines.
 
With the development of economic globalization, relying on technological innovation to promote high-quality development and strengthening intelligent construction has become a new trend in mining development. Mining enterprises urgently need to alleviate the increasingly fierce market competition pressure through the informatization and intellectualization of mines. As the fourth industrial revolution sweeps the globe, the deep integration of new generation information technology and mining will play an increasingly important supporting and empowering role in the intelligent and intelligent green mine construction of mines, including coal mines.
 
In recent years, the state has launched a series of major strategies and actions from top-level design, including the National Cyber Power Strategy, the National Informatization Development Strategy, the National Big Data Strategy, the "Internet +", Action Plan, and the Three-Year Action Plan to Promote the Development of the Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Industry. Many policy orientations have strongly promoted the development process of intelligent mine construction in China. Many places have also actively responded and issued relevant policies, and major industrial, academic, and research institutions have increased capital investment and R&D efforts to promote intelligent mine construction.
 
Currently, some large mines in China have basically built various systems such as safety monitoring and surveillance systems, underground personnel positioning systems, and communication and liaison systems, as well as communication and transmission networks covering the main production links of the mine, and have achieved certain economic and social benefits. However, overall, China's mining industry is still in the initial stage of intelligent construction. Intelligent mine construction is seriously lagging behind in overall layout, standard setting, technical capabilities, industrial policies, and talent cultivation, and there are problems such as low-level construction, difficulties in system integration, and almost blank data deep application. From the enterprise level, especially most small and medium-sized mining enterprises, completing intelligent mine construction faces many difficulties in terms of funds, technology, and personnel allocation. How to further increase support for the research and development of key technologies and equipment for intelligent mines and accelerate the pace of intelligent mine construction remains a key issue of concern within the industry.
 

The issue of intelligent mine construction is not just a problem for the mining industry, but also involves the transformation and upgrading of the entire manufacturing industry. What policy measures should be used to encourage and support key enterprises in the industry to increase the research and development of industrial robots and intelligent construction equipment, support the key breakthroughs of related core components and key technologies, and vigorously cultivate high-quality and highly skilled talents in industrial robots, innovative applications, maintenance, and skilled application is also the meaning of the question.

 

Some text excerpts from: March 1, 2022, China Mining News, Issue 1, Voice of Natural Resources

 

Many mines in China have complex mining environments and the coexistence of multiple element resources. Based on the existing automation and informatization construction of mines, further promote the digital transformation and construction of existing mines and existing mine infrastructure, and the construction of business-driven intelligent production systems; promote mine intelligent transformation and upgrading from aspects such as intelligent sensing, intelligent equipment, network construction, information security, and digitalization of mine geological resources, intelligent control of mining production processes, and intelligent control of beneficiation production processes.

 

Against the backdrop of actively promoting the construction of intelligent mines, Hunan Jumper Technology Co., Ltd., adhering to the development strategy of "driving innovative development with independent technology and implementing the national strategic goal of building "ecological, environmental protection, and intelligent" green mining enterprises," uses deep neural network algorithms for cloud data computing autonomous learning technology and has successfully independently developed the JPXRT intelligent ore sorting system. This system adopts a detection and analysis method that combines X-rays with ultraviolet fluorescence near-infrared, visible light, and laser imaging to achieve qualitative and quantitative analysis and discrimination of ores of different varieties, grades, and particle sizes; it is applicable to all ore types and is mainly used in non-ferrous metal ores, ferrous metal ores, precious metal ores, and non-metallic minerals. The equipment is deployed after the raw ore is mined and crushed and screened before entering the flotation workshop. It can set parameters according to the different raw ore production sorting needs and quickly complete the raw ore sorting task. It is suitable for new beneficiation plants, technical transformation of old beneficiation plants, mining field tailings storage yards, and other mining enterprises, and can be used in metallurgical enterprises for the sorting of metallurgical production waste.
