What Kind of Mines Could Be Called Green Mine? - A Study on the Standard of Green Mine

The concept of Green Mine was first introduced in China in 2006. Up to now, the Ministry of Land and Resources, P. R. China (MLR) mandated the development of green mines which totaled to 220. Some experts query the nine conditions, which compose the present standard of the Green Mine, considering them not quantifiable, strict and practical enough. Therefore, we recommend the government to add Delphi method and some other quantifiable indexes into the present standard. Look into the distance, we may improve the theoretic study, summarize and generalize the experience of the Green Mine. Gradually improve the Green Mines construction standard and management measures of different regions, scale and different mineral resources.
