Development stages of global mining

The mining development is closely related to human civilization.According to the scale and level of mineral resources development and utilization, the allocation of mineral resources and the relationship between mineral resources development and environmental protection, the development of global mining is divided into four stages, primary stage, predatory stage, sustainable stage and intelligentized stage, with special characteristics.The main feature of the sustainable development stage is that the mining is a technology intensive industry, it is green development, the allocation of mineral resources is dominated by the market, and the utilization of mineral resources is efficient and reasonable.At present, China mining is in the transition period from the second to the third, and faces many opportunities such as self-digestion period, adjustment period, accumulation period, expansion period and transition period, and challenges such as outdated ideas, backward technology and equipment, poor international competitiveness and large-scale labor transfer.
