Research On The Mineral Resources Economic Compensation System

Mineral resource is one of the basic sources of human being's. It is the material groundwork of social development. Mineral resource isn't regenerative and in shortage. It should be developed with an effective system of economy and interest. The economic conducts of possessors, producers and consumers should be limited and adjusted to reasonably make use of mineral resource and realize a sustained development in the local areas.This paper is to discuss the relations between mineral resource and sustainable development, and the influence of the sustainable development of mineral resource on the economy and society; to analyze the connotation and extension of the exploiting compensation system of mineral resource, and the subject of economic interest about mineral resource development. It is of the opinion that the basic theories on the system of exploiting of mineral resource are as follows: the theory on the value of mineral resource; the theory on the exhaustible supply of mineral resource; the theory on the balance of gambling and chess in interests; the theory on the external character of mineral resource development; the theory on the common interest sharing of mineral resource exploiting.This paper analyzed the shortcomings of the compensation system of mineral resource in China. They include: the valuable compensation of mineral resource is not enough; the resource compensation of the regions of origin does not reach the designated position; the compensation of ecology is difficultly realized. Through above-mentioned analyses, this paper gives some suggestions about the system of mineral resource compensation: (1) Build the reasonable sharing system between central government and local government; (2)To build the legal system on interest compensation of the exportation of mineral resource; (3) Draw up the favorable financial policies such as special foundation of the government: first, consummate the system of central foundation on geological prospecting, and to broaden the percent of the investment into geological prospecting in order to advantage the local important geological prospecting; second, carry out favorable financial policies to the local mineral industries. (4) Reconstruct the legal system on the mineral resource tax; to deepen the reform on the system of non-free use; to integrate the tax and fees on mineral resource; to set up the system of right money which shows absolute ground rent and distinct ground rent, and shows the system on transferring money of mineral rights. (5) Construct the financial system which is beneficial for the transference of resource industries and the pluralism on industrial development, and the preparation fund system on sustained development. (6) Build the system on the guarantee money of environmental protecting; to draw up the policies on environmental assessment and cost encouragement in order to clean out the system of resource price and reform the system on cost accounting of the present mineral enterprises. (7) Construct the administrative compensation system on environmental damage of mineral enterprises and the transferring payment system on ecological compensation of mineral cities; to formulate the relevant policies on transferring payment of public finance.
