China Overdraft Nearly 50000 Tons of Tungsten Last Year And Tungsten Capital of The World May Be Exhausted Ten Years Later

Years of over-exploitation, tungsten resources of Chinese  reserve-production ratio has dropped to 9.4 in 2012, which is significantly lower than the average level of the world reserve-production ratio 21.94. Blind and repetitious construction and disordered mining more seriously affected the healthy development of the domestic tungsten industry.

To protect scarce resources, starting in 2002, the Ministry of Land and Resources issued tungsten mining of tungsten concentrate to the nation's "total amount control index", the mandatory plans have been implemented so far.

But in recent years, domestic production of tungsten concentrate overdrafted epeatedly, smelting built before batch processing enterprise, the scale of production has expanded, the tungsten ore exploitation. "In 2013, for example, issued by the ministry of land and resources (tungsten trioxide content 65%) mining of tungsten concentrate index of total amount control of 89,000 tons. But according to statistics released by a third party, in 2013 the national output of 138,000 tons of tungsten concentrate, year-on-year growth of 8.3% also." Zhou Zhongshu said.

Consequences caused by exploitation, in "the tungsten capital of the world" Dayu county of Jiangxi province is particularly prominent. In November 2011, Dayu county was determined by the state council as one of the third batch of resource exhausted cities. Under the Dayu resources exhausted cities transformation development planning (2013-2020), due to long-term high mining intensity, existing tungsten mining using the remaining 61,600 tons, mining duration of less than 10 years.

He said, from a long-term and global view, the lack of unified planning and rational resource allocation policy implementation, will aggravate the disorder of tungsten resources production and vicious competition. At the same time, the western countries in order to obtain cheap supply of tungsten resources in our country, has made China's rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum and other precious metals export management to resort to the WTO, tungsten products face risks and cancel the export tariffs and quotas.

During the two sessions, he submitted a proposal about the scientific and reasonable development of tungsten resource. His advice to strengthen the essence of tungsten miners mining and comprehensive utilization of the strict management of indicators. Suggestions on the basis of the total control of the departments of land and resources, reference index of rare earth resources allocation model, total volume control targets will be mining from the provinces, and will be part of the index of a single large tungsten production enterprises, in order to the provinces and large enterprise internal use reasonable allocation.

Zhou Zhongshu thought, there are three main reasons for this: Firstly,investors value immediate short-term interests, at the waste of resources, "situations ofillegal exploration and mining small open, water flow". Secondly, the local government for the sake of the economic interests of the local, with no small tungsten ore dressing production mining company turning a eye blinding a eye. Thirdly,  it is to policy implementation supervision. In the past two years, the national 115 major mining existed problems, but none received severe punishment by related department.
