Its basic meaning is: insist on developing various economic forms and modes of operation, mobilize all positive factors, and implement the policy of combining the state, the collective and the individual under the guidance of national policies and plans, so as to improve the development intensity and economic benefits of mineral resources and meet the needs of socialist construction.

Parallel development and protection

The development of mining industry has made great contributions to the national economic construction and is an indispensable part of China's economic construction, but it has also led to serious ecological environment damage. For example, the destruction of water resources, land resources and vegetation, and the environmental pollution caused by "three wastes" in the process of mineral resources development.

Therefore, in the development of mineral resources, we should follow the coordinated development of development and protection, that is, environmental protection should be carried out at the same time before, during and after development. Before development, the mining area and its surrounding environment should be carefully explored according to relevant laws and regulations, especially the geological conditions.

In the process of development, the existing cultivated land, farmland and vegetation area should be occupied as little as possible, and the waste generated in the development should be treated according to the sewage discharge standard. After development, measures should be taken in time to restore the environment around the mining area, especially the damaged land resources and vegetation. For example, land reclamation measures can be taken at the same time, which not only reduces the cost, but also restores the greening of the damaged areas in time.
