Recently, the General Office of the State Council forwarded notices on properly handling the opinions of metal non-metal mines for rectification work and decided to organize and implement mine rectification operations from 2012 to 2015. It was decided that mines that had not installed on-line safety monitoring systems within the specified time limit would be closed down.

The "Notice" pointed out that in recent years, various regions and all relevant departments have continued to carry out work such as the consolidation of metal non-metal mines (including tailing ponds, collectively referred to as mines below) and the integration and development of mineral resources, and have achieved remarkable results. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the number of mine accidents and deaths in the country dropped by 47% and 45%, respectively. However, the status of the country's large number of mines, small scale, scattered distribution, and poor foundation has not yet been fundamentally improved, production safety accidents still occur frequently, and the safety production situation remains severe.

The "Notice" put forward general requirements for carrying out mine rectification and toughening. It is required to thoroughly implement the scientific development concept, vigorously implement the safety development strategy, and follow the principles of strict law, elimination of backwardness, simultaneous treatment of the symptoms, and steadily, and adopt measures such as “closing, integration, rectification, and improvement” in an integrated manner to ban and close unlicensed mining according to law. , Do not have safe production conditions and destroy ecological, environmental pollution and other types of mines, especially small mines, and comprehensively improve the mine safety production level and security support capabilities, and promote safe and steady development of mine safety situation.

The "Notice" clearly pointed out that by the end of 2015, unlawful mining and other illegal activities have been effectively stopped. Small-scale mines that do not meet industrial policies and have low safety guarantee capabilities have been legally rectified and closed down. Waste and destruction of mineral resources and serious environmental pollution have been effectively curbed. The number of small-scale mines has been greatly reduced, safety basic work has been further strengthened, mine safety production conditions have been further improved, mine scale, mechanization, standardization, informatization, and scientific level have been further improved, production safety accidents have continued to decline, and major and major The accident was effectively contained and efforts were made to eliminate particularly serious accidents.

The “Notice” stipulated the key points of mine rectification, and closed down the production safety after the deadline for rectification. Among them, the seventh and eighth points out that underground mines have not completed the “six major systems” for safety avoidance within the specified time limit (monitoring and monitoring systems, personnel positioning systems, emergency hedging systems, self-rescue systems for pressure relief, water supply and rescue systems, and communications The construction of the liaison system; the third-class or above tailings warehouse does not install the on-line safety monitoring system within the prescribed time limit; if the safety production standardization construction is not completed within the prescribed time limit, it will be closed. At the same time, in the mine rectification standards, it is pointed out that the civilian explosives and dangerous chemicals that have been retained in the mine must be cleared.

The "Notice" also put forward specific work requirements for carrying out mine rectification and toughening, and it is necessary to pay close attention to formulating a work plan. And submitted to the State Council Safety Production Committee for the record. To improve the joint enforcement mechanism. Establish a special organization and coordination mechanism to refine the implementation of work responsibilities of all relevant departments. We must pay close attention to rectification work. Strict implementation of work responsibilities and closure procedures, conscientiously implement various measures such as revocation of licenses, dismantling of equipment and facilities, and blow-up of wellbore, ensuring that closures are in place. We must strengthen social supervision and supervision. Increase supervision and inspection efforts and strengthen the implementation of responsibilities.

By carrying out the rectification and fighting of mines, China will further improve the level of standardization, information, and science of mines, increase the safety production level and safety guarantee capabilities of mines, and promote the continuous and stable improvement of the safety production of mines.
