The dominant position of enterprises in commercial mineral exploration is improving.

The dominant position of enterprises in commercial geological exploration is fully reflected in the implementation of the new geological exploration mechanism. According to the investigation of mineral exploration in Heilongjiang, Xizang Autonomous Region, Guizhou and Qinghai provinces (autonomous regions), the main position of enterprises is first manifested in capital contribution. Capital is the basis of commercial activities, and whoever contributes capital has the power to command and mobilize other factors of production, so does commercial mineral exploration.

During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the total investment in mineral exploration in Heilongjiang Province was 2521654.38 million yuan, of which financial investment accounted for 40% and commercial investment accounted for 60%. In 20 10, the investment in mineral exploration increased to 707.08 million yuan. Among them, the central finance is 27.56 million yuan, accounting for 3.91%of the total investment; Local finance182120,000 yuan, accounting for 25.76%; Business investment was 497.4 million yuan, accounting for 70.35%.

In 20 10, the central government invested 55.5 million yuan in mineral exploration in Xizang Autonomous Region, accounting for17.6% of the total investment; The central geological prospecting fund invested19.58 million yuan, accounting for 6.2% of the total investment. Xizang Autonomous Region special fund was started in 2009, accounting for12% of the total investment in that year; In 20 10, the investment was 26.39 million yuan, accounting for 8.4% of the total investment in that year. In recent years, Xizang Autonomous Region has effectively boosted the investment in commercial geological work through public welfare geological work. In 20 10, the total investment in commercial mineral exploration was 2140,000 yuan, accounting for 67.8% of the total investment in that year, which was far greater than the national financial investment.

During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the investment in geological and mineral exploration in Guizhou Province showed an increasing trend year by year, with a total investment of 2.666 billion yuan. Among them, the investment in large-scale investigation is 401.5 million yuan, accounting for1.5% of the total investment; The central geological prospecting fund invested 297 million yuan, accounting for11.2%; Commercial investment was 255 million yuan, accounting for 84.6%; Other special investment was 53.6 million yuan, accounting for 2.4%. With the implementation of 20 10 new geological prospecting mechanism and geological prospecting breakthrough action, Guizhou Province has increased its capital investment. 20 10 Guizhou province has a total investment of 828 million yuan. Among them, the financial investment is 292 million yuan (including geological prospecting fund), accounting for 35.3% of the total investment; Commercial investment was 536 million yuan, accounting for 64.7%.

20 1 1 year, the investment in mineral exploration in Qinghai province is 172 billion yuan, of which1/billion yuan is invested by enterprises, accounting for 64.3% of the total investment.

The dominant position of enterprises is also manifested in the fact that some large companies and enterprise groups have entered commercial mineral exploration one after another. Qinghai Province introduced Shandong Gold Group, Western Mining Company, China Aluminum Company, Qinghai Energy Development Group and Canadian Inter-CITIC Company to participate in comprehensive exploration. 20 1 1 Qinghai provincial government, through the joint efforts of ministries and provinces, invited investment from all over the country and selected six enterprises with strong financial strength and technical strength to undertake 1 1 mineral exploration projects. At present, there are many mining enterprises in Guizhou Province, including China Power Investment Corporation, Chongqing Wujiang Industry (Group) Co., Ltd., Hunan Jinrui New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. and Zijin Mining Company. Cooperation in mineral exploration and development. In the investment of commercial exploration in Xizang Autonomous Region, China National Gold Group Tibet Huatai Long Mining Development Co., Ltd. took the lead in laying a solid foundation for large-scale development on the basis of "strengthening geological exploration", invested 200 million yuan in exploration funds in three years, completed drilling footage of 6.5438+0.3 million meters, and obtained equivalent copper resources of 6.2 million tons, molybdenum of 650,000 tons, gold of 6.5438+0.40 tons, silver of 8,624 tons, and lead and zinc of 5.40 tons.

The dominant position of enterprises is also manifested in the process of commercial mineral exploration in geological prospecting units. It is understood that all joint ventures and cooperation between mining rights of geological prospecting units and enterprises in mineral exploration are to rebuild an enterprise and engage in the production and operation of mining rights; Then, through this enterprise, it signed a technical labor contract with the geological prospecting unit to contract the geological prospecting business. Among them, Qinghai Nonferrous Geological Exploration Bureau, which has done well, has joined forces with powerful domestic enterprises such as Inner Mongolia Qinghua Group, Zhejiang Nobel Group, Shandong Gold Group, China Aluminum Company and Western Mining Company to participate in the mineral exploration and development of the bureau, and has embarked on a road of integration of exploration and development with a certain scale. For example, in cooperation with Shandong Gold Group, the Bureau set up an enterprise in Guli area of dulan county to explore and develop 820 square kilometers of gold resources, with 80.2 tons of proven resources; And begin to develop, 20180kg of gold will be produced, with an annual output value of 400 million yuan, and 4 tons of gold will be produced in 20 13 years, with an output value of 10 billion yuan. This fully embodies the strong vitality of enterprises as the main body of mineral exploration.

But as far as most geological prospecting units are concerned, they do not want to enjoy this dominant position, but prefer the title of "main force". In fact, the main body of commercial geological and mineral exploration, whether subjectively willing to become an enterprise or not, must be an enterprise under the market economy system. This is determined by the nature of economic activities. Because all enterprises are engaged in the production of mineral products, and commercial mineral exploration is a stage of mineral products production and an essential production process. The value created by commercial mineral exploration is included in the value of mineral products. Through the combination of geological prospecting units and mineral production enterprises, the return of commercial mineral exploration can be realized through the sales income of mineral products; Under the condition of separation of exploration and mining, the price of mining right is prepaid by mining enterprises with working capital, which ultimately comes from the sales income of mineral products. Therefore, geological prospecting units engaged in commercial mineral exploration do not want to become enterprises, which is contrary to economic laws. Some people take this opportunity to set the reform direction of geological prospecting units in three positions (full budget institutions, differential budget institutions and self-supporting institutions) to avoid enterprise, which is unwise. Investors engaged in commercial mineral exploration can only survive and develop by adopting the enterprise mechanism. Enterprises are our own needs, not the needs of others. Imagine, on the one hand, asking the government to allocate mining rights, even high-quality mining rights; On the other hand, is it feasible to keep the nature of public institutions unchanged?
