The second is to optimize the layout of the development and utilization of mineral resources, good strategy guide layout, proposed a number of mineral resources exploration and development base, an important strategic core area of the protection of national security resources to form in space. Good management functional area, delineated a number of national planning mine, mine, and key mining areas of great value to the national economy, restrictions and prohibitions and restrictions on prospecting and mining area, delineated blocks prospecting and mining planning.

The third is to develop differentiated minerals policy and regional policy differentiation. Provinces (cities, districts) must be practical, clear the area of mineral resources management policy guidance and access conditions. 'Fourth, resources and support efforts to build a platform to prospecting breakthrough strategic action-oriented line with the theme of green mining ecological civilization construction platform for research with a combination of geology and mineral technology innovation platform, seven planning and implementation platform.

It is understood that, in accordance with the unified arrangements of the Ministry, in July this year to complete the preparation of the provincial planning framework, the completion of the national plan for approval to publish and provincial planning department review report before June next year, before the end of next year to fully complete the work at all levels of planning approval .
