Suggestions for perfecting division scheme of mineral resources
The scientific classification of mineral resources is helpful to establish and improve the classification system of mineral resources in China,and is of great significance to enhance the comprehensive management level of mineral resources.From 2014 to 2015,through sorting out the discovered mineral species(minerals)in each pro-vince by the project of"Annals of Geology of Mineral Resources of China",based on the classification of miner-al resources in the《Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Mineral Resources Law of the People's Republic of China》and the《Manual of Mineral Resources Industry Requirements(revised in 2014)》,we proposed five principles of mineral resources classification and established a mineral resource classification scheme of 182 min-eral species in the《Annals of Geology of Mineral Resources of China》.In this classification scheme,we have made a scientifiic ranking of each mineral species,and have popularized and applied in each province in China,and have achieved good results in the past few years.However,in the process of application in the provinces,and from 2016 to 2021,the research and compilation of《Annals of Geology of Mineral Resources of China》has fur-ther sorted out the discovered minerals in China,so it is necessary to improve the classification of mineral re-sources,especially the classification of non-metallic minerals.Based on the above considerations,this paper puts forward four principles and suggestions to improve the classification of mineral resources,and adjusts the number of discovered mineral species to 179.
