Mining in the name of land leveling? The Central Inspection Team is exposed! Mine bosses, please don’t step into this trap.

Dear mining bosses, the Central Inspection Team recently reported an incident. In Yulin, Guangxi, many places have been named and criticized - under the guise of "project construction" and "land leveling", they are actually mining.

What was the result? The inspection team checked,No one can escape.

I must talk about this case carefully with you, because many mine bosses may be stepping on the "pits" here.

Real cases: each one more outrageous than the last

Case 1: In the name of logistics park, 156 meters of green hills were flattened

There is a place in Xingye County that was originally supposed to be built as a logistics park and the land needed to be leveled. The result? It is planned to flatten a 156-meter-high mountain and mine more than 60 million tons. One million tons have been dug up and sold to cement plants.

It was only after the inspection team arrived that we stopped.

Case 2: The breeding project actually only requires 20 acres, but 283 acres were approved

There is a company in Beiliu City that is engaged in breeding and has been granted 283 acres of land. Normal farming only requires 20 acres. What to do with the extra land? Mining! 4.31 million tons of limestone were excavated.

Case 3: Continue digging under the banner of "ecological restoration"

There is even more irony. In Rong County, in the name of "ecological restoration," mining continued during the restoration process, and an 80-degree steep slope was dug out, which became a new safety hazard.

The inspection team said: How can this be repaired? This is continued destruction in the name of restoration!

Why can't we win these "edge balls"?

Some people may think that if I use the name of "land leveling" and "project construction", won't I be able to bypass the approval of mining rights?

Big mistake.

First, this is illegal mining. Mining without a mining license is illegal. In serious cases,To be held criminally responsible.

Second, the Central Inspection Team has sharp eyes.. Satellite remote sensing, drone inspections, big data analysis - now the regulatory methods are becoming more and more advanced, and it is becoming more and more difficult to exploit loopholes.

Third, even if it is dug out, the mine cannot be saved.. Not only will illegal mining results be confiscated, but mine owners may also face huge fines and jail time.

Compliance is the long-term solution

As a mine owner, I understand that everyone wants to seize opportunities. The mining market is changing rapidly. If you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, you will miss it.

But don't play this kind of "edge ball".

Now that the Mining Law Implementation Regulations have been announced, the market-based allocation of mining rights is becoming more and more standardized. If you want to obtain minerals, you should go through the formal channels - there are clear policy paths for the transfer of exploration rights, bidding, auctioning, and agreement transfer of mining rights.

You cannot afford the price of violation.

Yingting lawyer reminds

If you are considering investing in a mining project, be sure to note:

1.Confirm whether the project has a mining license. Without a mining license, any mining activity is illegal.

2.Pay attention to the legality of the project land. Even if it is construction land, if there is a mine underneath, you cannot dig it randomly.

3.Be wary of the temptation to "package projects". Some people tell you that "you can dig holes just by pretending to be a name." Nine times out of ten, it's a trap.

4.Keep all approval documents. In the event something goes wrong, documentation will prove that you obtained it in good faith.
