In 2006, China General Bureau of Metallurgical Geology earned 63.8743 million yuan from other industries, mainly from commercial services and property development.

Three, the basic experience of China's metallurgical geology reform and development.

Reviewing the difficult course of China's metallurgical geology reform and opening up for more than 20 years, especially summarizing the successful practice of promoting the leap-forward development of China's metallurgical geology economy in the last three years of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, not only further strengthened the belief of accelerating development, but also deepened the understanding of the laws of socialist market economy. It has enhanced the ability to control the extraordinary leap-forward development of China's metallurgical geological economy in the process of global economic integration, and accumulated valuable experience in reform and development while achieving fruitful material results.

(1) Insist on renewing ideas, adapting to social development and meeting market demand as the fundamental orientation to promote leap-forward development;

(2) Insist on separating government from enterprises, reforming property rights system and developing productive forces as the fundamental measures to promote leap-forward development;

(3) Insist on optimizing and adjusting the industrial structure, enhancing the ability of scientific and technological innovation, and cultivating market competition subjects to promote leap-forward development;

(4) Insist on strengthening management and conscientiously performing the responsibilities of investors as the institutional guarantee for promoting leap-forward development;

(5) Insist on improving the material and cultural life of workers and safeguarding their vital interests as the starting point and the end result of promoting leap-forward development.

These valuable experiences and inspirations are the crystallization of Qi Xin, more than 30,000 employees of China Metallurgical Geology, who worked together and boldly explored wisdom. Keeping pace with the times and constantly innovating will definitely have a positive and far-reaching impact on the overall advancement and key breakthroughs of China's metallurgical geology in the future.

Fourth, the general idea of metallurgical geology reform and development in China in the 11th Five-Year Plan.

To achieve the development goal of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan and break through the development bottlenecks such as "shortage of resources, lagging technology, interweaving of enterprises and extensive management", we must firmly grasp the "bull's nose" of deepening reform and inject a strong source of power for achieving coordinated and sustained extraordinary economic development.

(A) deepening the reform of the three projects

1. Promote the separation of government from enterprise.

Perfecting the system of separating government from enterprise is not only a strategic choice to adapt to the development of socialist market economy and create market competitors, but also an objective requirement to promote the smooth transformation of enterprise system and maintain the stability of the team. It is also a very arduous reform task related to the overall development of metallurgical geology in China. On the basis of summing up the experience of promoting the separation of government and enterprise at the geological team level in the Tenth Five-Year Plan, we will further establish the basic responsibilities of the General Administration and the Bureau in the separation of government and enterprise, improve the management mode, and truly achieve "good stability and good development". As the management center, decision-making center and capital operation center of the Group's development, the General Administration undertakes the national commercial mineral geological exploration tasks, performs the responsibilities of investors, manages and coordinates the development of bureau-level holding companies and regional group companies, and ensures the preservation and appreciation of state-owned assets. On the one hand, the bureau should make full use of the policies of public institutions, on the other hand, it should promote the separation on the basis of the separation of the two systems in accordance with the pattern of "big enterprises and small undertakings".

2. Deepen the reform of the property rights system.

The core of changing the single property right relationship, revitalizing existing assets, realizing diversification of investors and establishing a modern enterprise system that meets the requirements of market economy development is to actively and steadily promote the reform of property right system. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, the key points of the property right system reform are: first, introduce strategic investors into advantageous industries and key enterprises, further standardize the corporate governance structure, and the relatively mature black whirlwind saw-saw company should promote capital management, speed up listing, strive to become a public company within 2-3 years, and complete the second venture; Second, actively promote the shareholding system reform of industries and enterprises with full competition in the market and a certain scale, such as industrial exploration; Third, in the field of geology and mineral resources with insufficient market competition, we should seize the opportunity and speed up the transfer of mining rights. According to the actual situation, the investment of the General Administration and the Bureau can be taken as the main way, supplemented by the technical and capital investment of geological and technical personnel, and the income risk shall be borne by * * * *; You can also introduce social capital and take the road of joint exploration and development; Fourth, the small factories managed by the base should be completely liberalized and invigorated, or at the same time, according to the procedures stipulated by laws and regulations, employees should hold shares or voluntarily sell them to employees for operation.

The reform of property right system is a reform project with strong policy and wide influence. In the specific operation process, we should strictly follow the relevant laws, regulations and systems of state-owned assets supervision and management, conscientiously perform the procedures, and consciously accept supervision to ensure that state-owned assets are not lost; We should adhere to the principle of perfecting corporate governance structure and creating market competition subjects, and form an enterprise operation mode that meets the requirements of modern enterprise system; It is necessary to optimize the allocation of resources by market means, take the liberation and promotion of productive forces as the foothold of reform, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of managers, scientific and technological workers and skilled workers at all levels to consciously participate in the reform.

3. Create the main body of market competition

The purpose of separating government from enterprise is to pave the way for the construction of market competitors, and the purpose of property right system reform is to enhance the vitality of market competitors. On the premise of giving full play to its advantages and finding a correct position, and in line with the development strategy of doing something, we will build key enterprises at the general administration and bureau levels and regional group companies. The General Administration focuses on cultivating key enterprises with strong professionalism, leading technology, capable talents and advanced systems, and gradually becomes an industrial core enterprise with wide industrial radiation, strong driving force, strong core technology research and development capability and strong strength. The Bureau should give full play to its own advantages, take local and regional economic development as the target market, focus on building backbone enterprises with distinctive regional market characteristics, and build regional group companies with obvious competitive advantages, flat and efficient management and excellent brand effect on the basis of advantageous industries through industrial adjustment and merger and resource integration and optimization. Market subject is the product of adapting to the market. To build the main body of market competition, we should take the property rights association as the link, aim at being superior, bigger and stronger, conform to the general law of enterprise growth, stand the severe test of the market, step by step, help the superior and help the strong, and eliminate the fittest.

The core of the three major reform projects lies in the reform of property rights system. The premise is to establish a system of separating government from enterprises, and the purpose is to create a dynamic market competition subject. The three are an organic whole. To complete this arduous project, we must correctly handle the relationship between business system and enterprise system; Correctly handle the relationship between the construction of specialized backbone enterprises by the General Administration and the development of regional diversified group companies or regional professional companies by the Bureau, and ensure the overall coordinated, orderly and efficient promotion of the reform task.

(B) the three major tasks of accelerating development

1. Highlight the strengthening of mineral geological exploration

Geological exploration, as the most important part of metallurgical geology in China, shoulders the sacred mission of improving resource guarantee for national economic construction. Starting from a high starting point, making great efforts, giving full play to the overall advantages of metallurgical geology in China, making full use of "two resources" and "two markets", occupying mineral resources to the maximum extent, providing resource guarantee for national economic construction, strengthening the economic foundation of metallurgical geology in China, and realizing the rapid growth of capital accumulation and economic benefits are the central tasks of geological work in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan. First, further adjust the layout of geological work, and focus on the geological exploration of key metallogenic belts and key minerals listed in the national "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". In view of the shortage of iron, manganese, copper, bauxite, lead, zinc, nickel, tungsten, tin and gold in economic construction, large and medium-sized mineral exploration and regional geophysical and geochemical exploration have been carried out in important metallogenic belts such as Daxinganling, Altai, East and West Tianshan Mountains, Yarlung Zangbo River, China-Mongolia border and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and effective prospecting information has been widely obtained. On this basis, regional evaluation and metallogenic prediction are carried out. At the same time, according to the fact that the geological prospecting strategy moves westward, the coordination organization of geological work in the western region should be established in time. The second is to introduce the market mechanism, establish the input-output return mechanism of geological exploration and the main body of venture capital. High risk and large investment are the industry attributes of geological prospecting work. In order to speed up the rapid evaluation of mineral resources and obtain valuable mineral rights, it is necessary to increase the investment in geological exploration. On the one hand, the General Administration and all bureaus and institutes should cultivate the subject of geological and mineral risk investment in time, give full play to the role of limited geological exploration fees, and invest in promising mining areas in a market way, forming a virtuous circle of investment, return and reinvestment; On the other hand, actively carrying out joint exploration, introducing powerful Chinese and foreign companies' funds and realizing diversification of investment subjects can not only resolve the risk of geological exploration investment, but also accelerate the pace of exploration, realize the appreciation of mineral rights and take the road of integration of mineral exploration and development. Third, highlight and strengthen the geological work of resource-exhausted mines listed in the national plan, comprehensively promote the secondary development of geological data, take crisis mines as the starting point to replace resources for prospecting, actively undertake mine production exploration, take technological progress as the guide, explore the edge to find new raw material bases, and achieve good economic benefits while extending the service life of mines. Fourthly, it is necessary to improve the innovation level of geological science and technology in view of the objective reality that geological prospecting is more difficult. The General Administration plans to set up a mineral resources exploration research institute at an appropriate time to enhance the technological advantages and core competitiveness of the geological prospecting industry. The core task of the Institute of Mineral Resources Exploration is to provide a basis for the strategic decision-making of geological prospecting of the General Administration of China, and as an independent interest subject, to provide paid technical and intellectual support for the market subject to achieve the breakthrough of prospecting in key metallogenic belts. Fifth, it is necessary to carry out environmental geological evaluation, geological disaster control, hydrogeological evaluation and engineering geological evaluation around national key construction fields, major construction projects, geological disaster-prone areas and ecologically fragile areas, and continuously expand the business fields and industrial chains of geological prospecting industry. The sixth is to implement the "going out" strategy, focusing on neighboring countries such as Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Malaysia, and the Philippines, focusing on minerals such as iron, manganese, chromium, copper, and gold, and establishing companies through financing or joint ventures to investigate and evaluate key metallogenic belts in neighboring countries and select suitable mining areas for exploration and development.

2. Large-scale development of geological technology service industry

Developing geological technology service industry with engineering survey and geographic information as the main body is the requirement for metallurgical geology in China to play its superior service function for national economic construction, and it is also the objective requirement for stabilizing the team and developing the main business. The focus of engineering investigation is to build professional companies with high qualifications, large scale and strong strength, such as Zhongji Development, Shandong Jacky Construction, Central South Exploration Foundation, China Metallurgical Geological Exploration, Shaanxi Metallurgical Geotechnical Engineering, etc., while doing large-scale, they will become stronger and stronger, forming a number of brand images with high reputation in domestic industries; Earnestly strengthen the research on the core technologies of geotechnical engineering survey, design, construction and monitoring, comprehensively introduce, absorb and innovate advanced technologies and equipment at home and abroad, attach importance to the research and development in the field of underground space technology, pay close attention to the relevant markets and technical services in the fields of national urban construction, geological disaster control, water environment engineering construction and special projects, maximize the market with advanced concepts and advanced technical equipment, and continuously expand the scale and improve the efficiency; On the premise of ensuring quality and safety, qualified construction enterprises should gradually shift from production organization to management consulting, maximize operational efficiency, and thoroughly study the comparative advantages and competition modes of processes and procedures embodied in the value chain, so as to achieve economies of scale. Geographic information industry should focus on the construction of Jacky, Wuhan Kedao, Hebei Tianyuan, etc. Strive to cultivate their own core technologies in urban planning, construction, management, mineral resources exploration, communications and other fields with "3S" technology, identify the service areas and provide excellent technical services; It is necessary to build a two-level platform of R&D and application, take the world advanced technology level as the goal, increase the development of application software and technology, and make the technology and service of geographic information industry leap to the leading position in China through cooperation, refining and innovation. We should actively create conditions, introduce strategic partners, build a high-end technology research and development support platform with property rights as a link and interests as a lever, make up our minds to transform and upgrade the development level of the existing geographic information industry, and resolutely reverse the passive situation of low-end operation of high-end technology.

3. Focus on improving the level of equipment manufacturing.

The production of superhard materials and the manufacture of mechanical equipment are two major industries that support China's metallurgical geology and economic development, and they are also characteristic industries with comparative competitive advantages. First, focus on strengthening the function and construction of the platform of Black Cyclone Investment Company, promoting the effective integration of production factors and resources in manufacturing industry, extending the industrial development chain and cultivating new economic growth points. Second, on the basis of perfecting the first phase of the construction of the Black Cyclone Science and Technology Park, the second phase of the construction will be started in time to enhance the market expansion capacity and industrial adsorption capacity of the manufacturing industry. Third, Black Cyclone Sawing Company should continue to March towards the largest strategic goal in Asia and the first-class in the world, further improve the market expansion strategy, adjust the market layout, standardize the market operation, optimize the product structure, further expand the development of high-tech and high value-added products such as laser saw blades, frame saw blades, oversized saw blades and composite saw blades, and enhance the market competitiveness; Fourth, machinery enterprises should aim at the world's advanced machinery manufacturing industry, choose high value-added products, establish and improve CAD systems, processing systems and sales systems, and accelerate the rapid development track; Fifth, the Sino-Indian joint venture Jingri Company should continue to adjust its product structure according to the changes in domestic and foreign markets, realize the integration of design, development, production and sales and the extension of upstream and downstream industrial chains in accordance with the development idea of "fine single crystal, expanding tools and stabilizing materials", continue to adjust its product structure, continuously enhance its independent innovation ability and increase its research and development efforts, so as to make diamond synthesis and diamond tool manufacturing technology reach the domestic leading level. It is necessary to adjust business ideas, product structure and enterprises in a timely manner according to market demand. Sixth, Black Whirlwind and Beijing-Japan enterprises, while improving their technological innovation capability, should pay attention to improving corporate governance structure, improving decision-making mechanism, standardizing planning behavior, and accelerate to become China industrial enterprises with advanced metallurgical geology technology, standardized management and well-known brands.

The geological technical services of metallurgical geology, the production of superhard materials and the manufacture of mechanical equipment in China have begun to take shape, which are the products of social and economic development and market demand. The formation of these industries is deeply rooted in our professional and technical advantages; The development and expansion of these industries have firmly complied with the objective needs of the market economy. It is necessary to study the ever-changing development environment from the perspective of internationalization and adjust the industrial development ideas and business strategies in time. It is necessary to proceed from the specific reality of each bureau and key enterprise, correctly handle the relationship between industrial development, continuously optimize the allocation of resources, and form a good situation with prominent and sustainable main business.

In the process of promoting strategic structural adjustment, we should attach great importance to the utilization and development of idle features and real estate, making them a new economic growth point for the leap-forward development of metallurgical geological economy in China.

The main problems, countermeasures and suggestions faced by the reform and development of verbs (the abbreviation of verb)

(A) to speed up the implementation of the "the State Council decision on strengthening geological work" policy issues.

The State Council's decision on strengthening geological work clearly pointed out that the social security policy for retirees and workers of state-owned geological prospecting units should be implemented as soon as possible in accordance with the relevant provisions of the reform of public institutions; Accelerate the implementation of the funds needed for housing reform and solve the problem of excessive debts for employees' housing and infrastructure construction; Continue to implement the investment subsidies for infrastructure construction in the central budget. At present, on the basis of increasing the investment of local geological prospecting units in implementing local policies, all localities are implementing the spirit of the Decision and stepping up measures to implement the above provisions. According to the requirements of the Decision, the General Administration of Metallurgical Geology of China, as the central management department, should be implemented according to the above provisions. At present, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Land and Resources and other relevant departments are formulating relevant supporting policies to implement the Decision. The General Administration of Metallurgical Geology of China hopes to implement the above provisions of the State Council like local geological prospecting units, and also hopes that the Ministry of Land and Resources will attach importance to, reflect and support them.

(B) Geological exploration capacity building issues

First, geological prospecting is more difficult, and new scientific and technological means and equipment must be adopted. The existing technology and equipment are far from meeting the needs of geological exploration. It is urgent to purchase advanced instruments and equipment, introduce new technologies and methods, improve the effect of geological exploration and enhance core competitiveness. The "Decision" clearly pointed out that in order to strengthen the geological exploration capacity building of geological prospecting units, it is hoped that the state will continue to increase capital investment in geological prospecting units managed by the central government, improve the equipment level and enhance the geological exploration capacity.

Second, because geological prospecting units have been established for a long time, the state has not invested enough for many years, and there are too many debts in employee housing and infrastructure construction. Some bases are still in remote places, and infrastructure construction needs to be improved urgently. Therefore, in the report on the implementation of document [2003] No.76 issued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Ministry of Finance submitted by the General Bureau of Metallurgical Geology of China on June 5438+February 65438+March 2003, it is proposed to relocate and transform the 14 field geological team base, which is far away from towns and has a very difficult life and work, which seriously affects stability and development. In this regard, "the State Council's Decision on Strengthening Geological Work" also specifically requires solving these problems and suggests speeding up the pace.

Third, the degree of industrial collectivization and intensive management is not high, and the market competitiveness is not strong. The allocation of resources is not reasonable enough. Limited resources are scattered in very similar industries, small and scattered, lacking independent innovation ability and core competitiveness, and lacking long-term development strategy and market strategy. Risk prevention and management are still relatively weak, and the asset-liability ratio is running at a high level. More than half of the units have a debt ratio of over 60% and lack the ability to resist market risks.

(3) Capital of geological prospecting units

Lack of funds is the problem of geological prospecting units, and the transformation of geological prospecting units into enterprises is the inevitable result of the reform of public institutions. Under the condition that the state has not invested capital in geological prospecting units for many years, it is difficult to realize the restructuring. It is suggested to consider adopting preferential policies to solve the problem of insufficient capital of geological prospecting units. First, the transfer income of mining rights in geological prospecting units is fully converted into capital; The second is to implement the tax reduction and exemption policy for the operating income of geological prospecting units and convert the full amount of tax reduction and exemption into capital; Third, the mining rights formed by state investment are exempted from the price of exploration rights and mining rights, and the exempted exploration rights and mining rights are fully converted into capital; The fourth is to allow the allocated land occupied by geological prospecting units to be changed without compensation for commercial development. Use various ways to accumulate capital for geological prospecting units and create conditions to realize restructuring.

(4) The problem that the treatment gap between the central and local geological prospecting units continues to widen.

In recent years, many local subsidies for geological prospecting units have been introduced in various places, but the central geological prospecting units in the same place have never enjoyed them. The gap between the treatment of employees in central and local units of the same nature has widened year by year, and retired employees have petitioned many times. In 2006, the reform of income distribution system of state institutions reflected the state's attention and concern for geological prospecting units. However, the reform of the income distribution system of public institutions not only failed to consider the original gap, but only arranged 70% of the capital increase expenses of employees in geological prospecting units, and the remaining 30% was solved by the units themselves, further widening the gap with local geological prospecting units, aggravating unfair distribution and increasing unstable factors.

(5) The problem that the rights and interests of mining rights of geological prospecting units are not guaranteed.

Government departments that manage mining rights often do not distinguish between government and enterprises. The government's approval authority is too large, which leads to the active primary market and underdeveloped secondary market. Governments at all levels are keen to use administrative power to operate mining rights and set up projects to control mining rights. Generally speaking, the proportion of resources allocated by administrative means in China's mining rights market is still very large, far from forming a pattern of market allocation of resources. Due to layers of examination and approval, layers of obstacles, irregular exploration and registration operations, the exploration cost of geological prospecting units has increased, and the rights and interests of mining rights cannot be guaranteed. Influenced by the affiliation between exploration registration and mining right continuation, the mining right management department treats the central geological prospecting units and territorial management geological prospecting units separately, which makes the central geological prospecting units unfairly treated, and the geological exploration work of the central geological prospecting units is restricted and gradually marginalized. It is suggested that the Mineral Resources Law and related supporting laws and regulations should be amended as soon as possible to make it clear that state-owned geological prospecting units are state-owned carriers of mineral resources. Government departments withdraw from the mining rights market and establish a fair, just and transparent mining rights trading platform; Through the market access system and exit mechanism, ensure that exploration units get the maximum benefit from risk exploration.

(6) the problem of insufficient development potential

Although we have seized the market opportunity, adopted a series of correct principles and policies, and formulated practical development ideas, the advanced productive forces accumulated for a long time have been released to a certain extent. However, in the new development opportunity period, the contradiction between the deep reform and development of metallurgical geology in China is more prominent and acute. At present, we have not jumped out of the circle of geological prospecting units in thinking mode, business philosophy and working methods, and still manage enterprises with the concept of career and allocate production factors by administrative means; The scale of economic aggregate is small, the stock of operating assets is small, the foundation is thin, the burden is heavy and the development is unbalanced; The prominent structural contradiction of labor force, the shortage of talents and the shortage of leading talents in industrial science and technology are important factors that restrict the development of productive forces for a long time. In addition, incomplete restructuring, irregular governance, unclear responsibilities and rights of enterprises, weak vitality and slow progress in property rights system reform are also important aspects that cause insufficient development potential. These will be gradually deepened by persistently pushing forward the reform.

Although there are still many difficulties and unfavorable factors restricting our development, China General Bureau of Metallurgical Geology, as a central management institution focusing on solid mineral geological exploration, deeply feels its own responsibility. We will adapt to the development of the national economy and the demand of the whole society for geological exploration, actively seek the mineral resources urgently needed by the country, strive for significant progress and breakthrough in mineral exploration, gradually strengthen our own capacity building, strive to create various conditions and environments, overcome various difficulties and unfavorable factors, broaden the field of geological exploration, improve market competitiveness and make new contributions to national economic construction by promoting structural adjustment and reform of the geological exploration system.
