en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the Department of Natural Resources of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China, announced a new batch of autonomous region-level green mines. Four mining enterprises, including the Sinopec Ningxia Ordos Basin Southern Ningdong oil extraction operation, were officially included in the autonomous region-level green mine directory. The selection of green mines was strictly carried out according to procedures including "enterprise self-assessment, preliminary review by cities and counties, third-party technical evaluation, solicitation of opinions from relevant departments, on-site verification, and public announcement." Based on the voluntary application of 24 enterprises and preliminary screening and review by cities and counties, after pre-assessment by a third-party evaluation agency and joint on-site verification, four mining enterprises were ultimately confirmed to meet the autonomous region-level green mine standards.

In recent years, the Department of Natural Resources of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China, has actively established a working mechanism featuring "government guidance, departmental coordination, enterprise-led construction, third-party evaluation, and social supervision." In accordance with the green mine construction requirements of "ecological environment, scientific mining methods, efficient resource utilization, standardized enterprise management, and harmonious mining communities," it has coordinated and promoted key tasks such as mine mergers and reorganizations, standard setting, policy innovation, and ecological restoration. To date, the autonomous region has built a total of 58 green mines, with green mines accounting for over 70% of producing mines.

A relevant official from the Mineral Resources Protection and Supervision Division of the Department of Natural Resources of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China, stated that the autonomous region will continue to base its efforts on the actual development of the mining industry, refine differentiated construction standards for various mineral types, and formulate "one mine, one policy" annual construction assistance plans. Through list-based management, expert guidance, and precise advancement, the creation of green mines will be promoted comprehensively and orderly. At the same time, the management of annual green mine construction plans will be strictly implemented, with the goal of full compliance by 2028, driving the transformation of green mine construction from "action-driven" to "standard-led," and from "compliance creation" to "normalized long-term effectiveness."
