We must guard against the "legalization" of indiscriminate exploitation of tin resources.

In the Qitianling Mountains at the junction of Zhangzhou City and Guangdong Province in Hunan Province, there is a tin ore belt with abundant reserves and content. From the 1990s, gold rushers from all parts of the country gathered in the Nanling Mountains 800 meters above sea level. They began their dream of getting rich. Over the past few years, not only many millionaires and billionaires have been created, but they have also left serious environmental pollution problems in the area. It was previously reported that the Tongyanjing tin mining area in the Beihu District of Quzhou City was seriously illegally mined. There was neither a mining permit nor a safety production license, and there were many clashes with the Yitin mine company in Yizhang County. They even used firearms and knives. And other weapons. It also caused serious pollution of drinking water in several downstream villages and Yizhang county.
China has abundant tin resources and has long been a major producer of tin. Its reserves and production rank among the top in the world. China's tin mines are distributed in 15 provinces and districts, of which Hunan reserves 362,500 tons, accounting for 8.9% of total reserves. The production of tin in China is mainly concentrated in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces and regions, followed by Guangdong, Hunan, and Jiangxi. Hunan is the third largest tin producing area in China. The most important ones are the Xianghualing Tin Mine, the Xiangdong Tungsten Mine, the Yaogangxian Wolfram Mine, and the Rucheng Tungsten Mine. A certain amount of tin concentrate is also recovered.
The government violated regulations and the owner violated the law. As an important tin resource, the local government should conduct a corresponding value assessment before obtaining a public auction and obtain a corresponding license. However, when Bozhou City and the North Lake District Government publicly auctioned tin mining rights in the Qitianling Mining Area, they did not conduct scientific assessments or applied for mining licenses, and patted their brains to set a starting price of 10 million yuan. Some merchants participating in the auction have bid on each other and reached an agreement in private, turning the open auction into a black box operation. After the auction, according to the relevant policies and laws of the country, mining cannot be carried out until there is no mining license. However, after the auction, whether the mining area regulates mining, whether there is subcontract mining, whether there is cross-border mining, etc. No one has been strictly regulated. In the past, self-employed people have been indiscriminately exploited and dug into the “lawful” indiscriminate exploitation led by the local government departments.
The people suffered devastation and intensified contradictions. As tin resources are rare mine resources in China, the relevant state departments have strict restrictions on the exploitation and utilization of tin resources. As a result, some local governments, in order to gain immediate interests and expand the financial resources of local governments, have committed themselves to illegal mining or illegal exploitation of investment or public auctions, and some businessmen engaged in mining of mineral resources have been The immediate interests are the top priority. Under the protection of this powerful umbrella of local governments, a mighty plundering national tin mineral resources movement was staged in the southern part of Hunan. The local short-term fiscal revenue increased, and the mine boss made a fortune. The nearby people were smashed, the rivers were polluted, the crops that had been planted died, and the land on which the ancestors relied for generations was beyond recognition, affecting future generations.
The above problems have their own underlying causes:
Maniacal plunder and waste of resources. It is understood that China’s tin mines account for only 12% of the country’s single minerals, tin mines, which are the main minerals, account for 66% of the country’s total reserves, and tin mines, which are the associated components, account for 22% of the country’s total reserves. Symbiotic and associated minerals include copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, antimony, molybdenum, bismuth, silver, antimony, bismuth, antimony, indium, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, and iron, sulfur, arsenic, and fluorite.
Located in the caving area in the south of Qitianling Mountain Range, it is also a polymetallic mining area with reserves of more than 160,000 tons, of which 2799.1 tons of lead metal, 2163.39 tons of zinc metal, and 1439.09 tons of tin metal. However, the insider knows that the tin ore is the most valuable or actually exploited in the mining area, and other associated metals are discarded. Nobody is wasting the question of wasting state resources.
Many experts with strategic vision and industry insiders believe that tin is an important strategic material and is indispensable in modern national defense, modern industry, cutting-edge science and technology, and human life, and its demand will increase. According to the relevant information, after more than 40 years of construction and development, China has formed a comprehensive tin mining capacity of nearly 60,000 tons, a total capacity of 126,400 tons of tin smelting, and refined tin production reached 57,000 tons. Not only can it meet the domestic demand of around 30,000 tons, but it can also be exported in large quantities. Tin is a traditional export-generating product of China. China is one of the largest tin suppliers in the world.
At present, for the tin industry in China, the number of sand tin resources that are easy to pick and choose is decreasing, and the primary tin mines occupy a major position. Therefore, it is an important task to strengthen the study of tin mining and mineral processing technology, increase economic efficiency and reduce production costs. In particular, China’s primary tin mines are mostly common and associated minerals, containing many useful elements such as lead, zinc, copper, tantalum, tungsten, antimony, indium, bismuth, cadmium, and sulphur and arsenic. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization study will be strengthened to improve comprehensiveness. The recovery rate is of great significance.
