Main impact

After the comprehensive reform of geological work was implemented in 1999, it had a significant impact on geological exploration business and team building. The new round of land and resources survey arranged small and medium-scale geological mapping, geophysics, geochemistry and hazard geological surveys in the blank areas of the western region, and arranged 1:50,000 geological, geophysical and geochemical exploration, remote sensing and mineral exploration in favorable areas for mineralization. Investigation and resource evaluation of discovered mineral sites. These geological surveys have relatively strict standards and requirements for each work, and are reviewed and checked at all levels, so the quality of the work results is more guaranteed. Technical personnel engaged in land and resources survey work can get more training.

Over the past ten years since the establishment of the China Geological Survey, the centralized unit has a small number of personnel, unmatched professional expertise, and an unreasonable structure. About two-thirds of major land and resources survey projects have to be outsourced, resulting in on-site observation of geological surveys. I don’t have research and first-hand information, so I can only understand other people’s explanations and conclusions from geological reports, which inevitably include some inaccurate observation data and analysis and research, causing some misleading. Taking 2010 as an example, the China Geological Survey was responsible for organizing and implementing geological survey funds of 6.348 billion yuan, of which 1.89 billion yuan was completed by the units responsible for the China Geological Survey, accounting for 29.8%; the rest was provided by project liaison units such as provincial geological survey institutes. Completed.

The geological surveying unit that undertakes project contact for large-scale land and resources survey projects also undertakes a large number of social survey projects. Due to contract constraints and time constraints, the phenomenon of "the carrot is too fast and the mud is not washed away" often occurs. To deal with service clients who do not understand geological technology, a simplified, table-formatted original data cataloging method can be adopted, and work reports can also be concise and clear. This may meet market needs, but for geotechnical personnel, there is a lack of rigorous training in business and it is difficult to improve their technical level. If this continues, this group of technicians will be destroyed. This work style will also be brought to the land and resources survey project.

Therefore, in order to be responsible for geological work projects supported by government financial funds, it is necessary to build two public welfare first-class geological teams at the central and local levels, enrich the backbone, support technical expertise, and achieve financial independence as soon as possible. For the geological survey and mineral exploration tasks of the project, we only seek support from the society for auxiliary work such as prospecting projects and experimental tests. The China Geological Survey and its responsible units approved by the Central Staff Office have an establishment of 9,632 people, and the provincial Geological Survey Institute approved by the Provincial Organization Office has an establishment of 8,891 people. There has been no breakthrough in more than ten years. It’s not that there are too few tasks but that there is no basic, public welfare, strategic geological and mineral exploration tasks funded by the government in terms of guiding ideology. It is necessary to have a well-established, well-structured, professional and well-equipped geological survey team. The concept of teams carrying out work independently is due to a lack of understanding of Comrade Wen Jiabao's repeated requests to step up the construction of a geological "field army". On May 7, 2000, he pointed out: It is urgent to carefully establish a "field army" team to undertake basic and public welfare geological work across the country. The geological "field army" should be a high-quality, professional team with capable and relatively stable personnel, well-equipped, supported by high technology, combined with geological survey and scientific research, able to undertake major strategic tasks, and good at fighting tough battles. On December 25 of the same year, he pointed out: The "field army" team must be capable, the team structure must be adjusted, and some professional and technical backbones must be recruited from across the country. On October 15, 2002, he also pointed out: In order to ensure the needs of the country's regional, basic, public welfare geological surveys and strategic mineral exploration work, a geological "field army" team with capable personnel, relatively stable and well-equipped personnel has been established. , the goal cannot be shaken, and the pace must be accelerated. The spirit of these speeches is obvious without explanation.
