《中华人民共和国矿产资源法》经六届人大常委会第十五次会议讨论通过,将于1986年10月1日实施.这是我国地质、矿业工作中的一件大事,也是法制建设的一项新的重要成果.矿产资源是国家的宝贵财富,是社会主义现代化建设的重要物质基础.三十多年来,经过大规模的普查勘探,我国已发现的矿产有一百五十多种,探明储量的矿产达一百三十七种,其中有不少种矿产的探明储量居世界前列.但是,也要看到,我国主要矿产储量人均占有量大大低于世界平均水平, The “Mining Resources Law of the People’s Republic of China” was discussed and adopted at the 15th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 6th National People’s Congress and will be implemented on October 1, 1986. This is a major event in China’s geology and mining industry, and it is also a legal construction. The key new achievements of the project are that mineral resources are a valuable asset of the country and an important material foundation for the modernization of socialism. After more than 30 years of exploration, there have been more than 150 types of minerals discovered in China. There are 137 kinds of minerals with proven reserves, among which there are many kinds of proven reserves of minerals that rank among the top in the world. However, we must also note that the per capita share of major mineral reserves in China is much lower than the world average.
