Ruzhou recently received approval of its Planning on Mineral Resources (2008~2015) proposal from the Henan Provincial Office of Land and Resources. The plan is essential for assessment, reconnaissance, exploitation, protection and management of Ruzhou’s mineral resources.

The main principles of the plan cover relevant requirements over mineral resource assessment; the status quo of exploration, use and protection; analysis and assessment of supply and demand; geological survey and assessment; resource reconnaissance; and gross control of exploitation, protection and maintenance of the geological environment of Ruzhou mines.

After implementation, Ruzhou’s mineral resources and geological environment will be efficiently protected, optimizing the layout of mineral resource reconnaissance and exploitation. As a result, economic and socially sustainable development will be guaranteed by safer mineral resources.
