Abstract:

To remain a sustainable development of various mineral resources in western Gansu province, this paper investigates related data and pointed out a series of existing problems such as disproportional exploration and utilization of mineral resources, structural shortage of mineral resources without comprehensive planning, severe waste of resources, and exacerbation of ecological and environmental pollution in mining areas.This paper presents approaches to sustainable development of mineral resources in western Gansu province, including adjusting industrial structure of mineral resources via macroeconomic management, increasing people’s income and reducing expenditure, enhancing geological exploration in mineral resources through attracting investments from various channels, and protecting the ecology and environment up to a way of “green exploration”.This paper also classifies the mineral resources in western Gansu province into three types: mineral resources meeting demands to 2010, mineral resources meeting demands after 2010, and mineral resource of basic or serious shortage, which should be developed and utilized in order.

Key words: western Gansu province, mineral resources, sustainable development

摘要：

为保障甘西地区矿产资源的可持续发展，分析了甘西地区矿产开发存在的问题，认为：矿产资源开发利用不均衡；矿产资源结构短缺开发缺乏整体规划；资源浪费现象严重；矿山生态环境污染严重。提出了甘西矿产资源可持续开发战略：应宏观调控、开源节流，调整矿产资源开发利用的产业结构；多渠道吸引资金，加大地质找矿工作力度；保护生态环境，走“绿色开发”之路。总结甘西地区查明矿产资源储量分为3类，即能够满足当前和2010年以前需求的矿产、能够满足当前和2010年以后需求的矿产和基本短缺及严重短缺的矿产，应有重点、有秩序地进行开发。
