In order to curb the indiscriminate excavation of domestic tungsten ore, and to protect and rationally develop the scarce tungsten resources, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the former State Economic and Trade Commission, the Development and Reform Commission and other departments have issued documents several times since 1999. The country has been cleaned up and rectified, but the mining order has not been fundamentally improved, and the production of tungsten concentrate continues to exceed the standard. The reporter's investigation found that investors were driven by profit, local governments secretly let go of rectification, and the production scale of middle and lower smelting and processing enterprises repeatedly expanded overcapacity, which led to repeated rectification of tungsten ore production.

In order to curb the indiscriminate excavation of domestic tungsten ore, and to protect and rationally develop the scarce tungsten resources, the Ministry of Land and Resources has implemented control over the total amount of tungsten mining since 2002. According to the data provided by China Tungsten Industry Association, in 2002, 2003 and 2004, the control indexes of tungsten concentrates in 115 mines nationwide were 43.74 million tons, 436.6 million tons and 52,000 tons respectively. The actual output of the mine exceeded 60% of the control index. In 2005, the control index was 52,000 tons, but the annual output of tungsten concentrate exceeded 70,000 tons. China Tungsten Coordination found that the main mines in the country are generally over 20%, and the rest of the production is illegal mines and mines illegally mined.

--Tungsten mines are illegally stolen

Tungsten is an important strategic mineral resource widely used in the defense industry, aerospace, nuclear power, petroleum and other industries. Affected by the rise in tungsten prices last year, some state-owned tungsten mines in the “China Tungsten Resource Corridor” areas such as Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong were illegally stolen.

Dayu County's Wutang Tungsten Mine is one of the largest reserves of state-owned tungsten mines in Jiangxi Province. In the 1980s, the Diaotang Mine under the Pengtang Tungsten Mine was vertically divided along the No. 16 exploration line, and Line 16 was eastward. The mining of Tang Tungsten Mine is based on the mining of the collapsed hills in the Dagang County of Xiyu County. According to the introduction of the drift pond tungsten mine, in July 2004, the relevant departments of the Dayu County government transferred the collapsed hill mining area to Jiangxi Tengyue Construction Co., Ltd. The collapsed hill mining area is divided into upper and lower parts with an altitude of 450 meters. Due to the small reserves in the lower half of the Guangangshan mining area and the lack of planned mining, the mining rate of Jiangxi Tengyue Company is much faster than that of the floating pond mining area. Formed "upstairs and downstairs at the same time mining", at present, the company's underground cross-border piracy depth exceeds 238 meters in the drift pond mining area.

Due to the cross-border mining of Jiangxi Tengyue Company in the Banggangshan mining area, many safety accidents have occurred in the Wutang mining area since last year. According Piaotang tungsten mine, in 2005 November 15, Piaotang tungsten mine roadway floor is prance company blasting breakdown, resulting in pit iron road and mining equipment to a sudden subsidence; December 19, the normal work surface Piaotang mine and the The sneak mining operation point of the prancing company broke through, causing the mine project to be destroyed, and the stope was forced to stop production and stop production. Yuan Mingcai, deputy mine manager of the Piaotang Tungsten Mine, said that if the leaps and bounds of the leaps and bounds are completed and abandoned, the gobs with a height of 238 meters in the pontoon mining area will become huge storage tanks, and the deeper the mining, the larger the gobs. In the future, once the Wutang Tungsten Mine and its goaf are penetrated, it is very likely to cause a serious flooding accident.

In the vicinity of some state-owned mines, individual civil mining is also frequently encircled, and theft and looting are incessant. According to Jiangxi Dangping Tungsten Industry Co., Ltd., the mining areas around Dangping, Banbianshan and Qidongkeng, which are under the company, have been surrounded by individual mining. Since the first half of last year, some unemployed people and migrant workers have repeatedly sneaked into mining areas to steal and smash mineral resources. Hu Shengquan, chief of the geological survey department of Dangping Tungsten Company, said: "The sound of the guns is just loud, and some migrant workers are pouring into the caves to grab mines. It is very easy to have a safety accident." According to the statistics of Dangping Tungsten Company, in the mine protection work last year. A total of 385 unscrupulous migrant workers were arrested for stealing and looting state-owned mineral resources. However, due to the lack of treatment and means of attack, the company has already formed a vicious circle. Persimmon in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province Chuk Yuen non-ferrous metal mining "the world is full metal museum," said the general manager of Hunan Nonferrous Metals Company Shizhuyuan Lan Liu Ming told reporters, according to the law of their country from the 35 km2 area of compensation for acquiring mining Inside, piracy or sand washing also exists. “It was the most embarrassing situation in September last year. After the recent round of rectification, the situation has improved.” Wang Yuquan, deputy general manager of the production of the persimmon metal non-ferrous metal company, told the reporter that there were more than 130 peaks in the mining area. As of mid-January this year, there are at least about 30 hard-to-reach "hard nails." In addition, in Shizhuyuan mine, the most common is the large and small all over the inside and outside of the state-owned mining beneficiation plant. Experts told reporters that the total amount of ore selected by these concentrators may have exceeded the sum of the three major concentrators of Shizhuyuan Nonferrous Metals Corporation. Due to the backward ore dressing process, the ore recovery rate is low, and a large amount of valuable resources such as tungsten, molybdenum , fluorite , strontium , tin , and feldspar are wasted in the tailings produced after beneficiation. Because many of these small sites are neglected to manage, the tailings containing a lot of toxic substances sometimes even intentionally sneak into the river, which has seriously polluted the mining area and the downstream ecological environment. In a similar situation, there are different levels of non-ferrous metal resources in the Shijietang mining area of ​​Luzhou City and Linwu County and Yucheng County of Hunan Province.

Driven by the interests, some migrant workers even sneak into the abandoned mining area to steal or sand. Zhu Jiacai, the mayor of Hengshitang Town, Yingde City, Guangdong Province, said that the Shimentai tungsten mine was closed for more than a decade ago due to resource exhaustion, and the mine was abandoned. However, since November last year, a group of Hunan migrant workers have entered from Hunan. Guangdong, secretly transporting mining equipment to the mountain to wash the sand, has been improved after the remediation; in the abandoned Babaoshan tungsten mine area, local migrant workers in the vicinity of the mining area to wash the tungsten sand also occurred.

-- Why is it difficult to repeat the repeated rectification?

The reporter conducted an in-depth investigation and found that there are three main reasons.

First, capital is eager for huge profits.

Since December 2004, the price of tungsten has increased from more than 20,000 yuan per ton to more than 100,000 yuan per ton. The China Tungsten Association said that the price of a ton of tungsten mine produced by private enterprises is about 20,000 yuan, and the mining cost of state-owned tungsten mines is about 25,000 yuan per ton. Driven by huge profits, private enterprises and state-owned mines are frequently over-exploited. In the total amount control document issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources, it is proposed to impose penalties on enterprises with excess production, and correspondingly reduce the production indicators for the next year. However, in recent years, most of the 115 major mines in the country have problems of overproduction, and generally have not been related. The severe punishment of the department, there is no criticism of the connected newspaper, and the control indicators have become short indicators.

Second, the local government approved the mining of tungsten ore in disguise, and the rectification went through the scene.

According to the China Association of tungsten and introduce the reporter in Hunan, some government knowingly capital of tungsten from, but eye, close one eye, as miners lead zinc ore mining permits issued, copper and tin mining permits, bismuth ore mining The certificate is a license for the recycling of non-ferrous metal resources. A large number of private capitals use this to “sell the dog meat” and smash the tungsten resources in disguise. The Xiaoliugou mining area in Gansu is currently detecting 120,000 tons of tungsten reserves, since last year, even in If the mining license is not obtained, the local government will support the enterprise to invest in the construction of the mining project, and it is expected to be officially put into production in the second half of this year.

According to the introduction of the Jiangxi Diaotang Tungsten Mine, the mining area above 450 meters above sea level in the vicinity of the collapsed hill was dismantled for mining rights more than 10 years ago. However, after the transfer of the mining area in Jiangxi, the company took over the recovery of the mine. In the name of the contract, the indiscriminate migrant workers crossed the border into the state-owned drift pond tungsten mine. Due to frequent accidents, at the beginning of last year, the Yanzhou Mine Inspection Team requested that the mining management department of Dayu County complete the reorganization of the mine before the end of February of that year. However, in mid-January this year, the reporter saw on the scene that there were more than 10 work sheds and seven shacks in the site. Many workers were still washing sand. The person in charge of the Dayu County Bureau of Geology and Minerals said in an interview with the reporter that the mining area has been reorganized and the work sheds and operating facilities have been basically dismantled.

The China Tungsten Association believes that the local government's implicit laissez-faire or remediation measures are not implemented, but the hard practice has contributed to the arrogance of the tungsten mines.

Third, the smelting and processing links investment overheated capacity continues to expand excessively

The large-scale mining of tungsten ore originates from the demand for tungsten in the middle and lower reaches. In the past two years, the expansion of tungsten smelting and processing in China has been too fast, and the low level of repeated construction is serious, especially the tungsten secondary ammonium tungstate. According to the China Tungsten Association, in 2004, the production capacity of 44 tungsten smelters of paratungstate was 11.59 million tons, an increase of 8,000 tons compared with the previous year, and the capacity utilization rate was 43.5%. In 2005, tungsten mines in Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places. The main producing area is still on the production line, and the current production capacity has reached 130,000 tons. This situation also spread to tungsten powder, cemented carbide, tungsten electrode, tungsten wire, tungsten salt and other tungsten products. At present, the utilization rate of tungsten powder in the country is less than 40%, and the utilization rate of cemented carbide is less than 60%. Tungsten electrodes, tungsten wire, tungsten salt and other tungsten production lines are also under construction.

Liu Yuming, general manager of Hunan Persimmon Garden Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd. said that there are many hidden concerns in the development of the tungsten industry. He pointed out that the current tungsten industry chain, the cost is more and more like an "olive type", mining, downstream deep processing profits are high, intermediate smelting and general primary manufactured goods profits are diluted. The increase in profits from upstream mining has led to a substantial expansion of production by enterprises. The negative effect is to accelerate the consumption of resources, stimulate the excavation and excavation, and the short-term behavior of “rich mining first, fast water flow”, while the profits of downstream deep processing are almost entirely concentrated in Sweden. The United States, Israel and other three foreign countries, China at a high resource cost, the overall economic benefits are not high.

China Tungsten Association believes that precisely because of the extraordinary development of tungsten smelting and processing capacity, the company's raw materials are insufficient, the production idle pressure is increased and the resources are vying for resources, which in turn leads to the phenomenon of excessive production, stealing and mining.

China Tungsten Association believes that private enterprises cross-border the pirate mining of state-owned mines, not only disturbed the production order of tungsten ore, but also caused a large loss of precious non-ferrous metal resources due to its abundance of poverty and indiscriminate mining. At present, China's tungsten resource reserves have dropped from 66% of the world's reserves to 35.5%. If the indiscriminate mining is not cured, according to the current production, the static guaranteed mining life of China's existing tungsten reserves and basic reserves is only 12 years. And 23 years.

Tungsten industry experts believe that the current state departments should respond to the disease, increase the rectification and management of the smelting and processing links, resolutely stop the low-level redundant construction of the selection, smelting and processing; severely rectify the order of tungsten mining, and the local government officials who neglect their duties. Investigate responsibility; deduct the production index for the tungsten mining enterprises produced by the super-index, and suspend production and rectification until the production license is revoked to maintain the authority of the total tungsten production control policy and ensure the sustainable development of the tungsten industry. At present, the situation of indiscriminate excavation of tungsten mines in Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong and other places has been highly valued by the local government. Relevant departments are actively taking measures to rectify them, but experts believe that the effectiveness of remediation remains to be tested.
