Development Strategy Of The Iron Resources In Henan Province

Mining plays an important role in the economy of Henan Province. With the continuous and rapid development of economy, the demand for mineral resources will increase continually in the coming years. Especially the rapid increase on the demand of iron ore has caused the demand of iron ore exceeds its supply in the world. The price of iron ore is rising and the dependence on foreign iron ore resources is increasing. Two thirds of iron ore needs to be imported. Therefore, the iron ore resources have become the bottlenecks restricting the healthy development of steel industry in Henan Province. In the face of the grim situation on iron ore resources, it has strategic importance to study the security capacity of developing iron ore resources to the sustainable economic development, to rationally use iron ore resources, and to protect and coordinate the development of ecological environment.Adopting sustainable development theory, resource economics, resource strategy, theory of circular economy, scientific outlook on development and so on, and holding the principles of combining theory and practice and combining qualitative and quantitative analysis, the paper analyzed systematically the geological background of materialization of iron ore in Henan Province, classified the types of iron ore, and made systematic research on various types of typical deposits; it summarized comprehensively and systematically the rules of materialization of iron ore in Henan Province, and scientifically classified the materialization series of iron ore, which can effectively guide the reconnaissance and exploitation of iron ore resources in Henan Province, increase the reservation of resources to raise the security level of resources. It analyzed scientifically the iron ore exploration, development status quo, constraints and development situation in Henan Province, analyzed the exploration potential in the main materialization area of iron ore in Henan Province, and objectively elaborated the assurance extent of iron ore resources. It analyzed systematically the type and status quo of main environmental problems caused by the development and utilization of iron ore resources in Henan Province, analyzed the impact, status quo and development trend of iron ore development activities on the bearing capacity of environment.Combining theoretical research and empirical analysis, based on the point of view of domestic security resources supply, the paper put forward the sustainable development strategies of iron ore resources in Henan Province during a certain period in the future from a macro perspective: macroeconomic regulation and control, overall planning, resource integration, standardizing mining rights management; enhancing geological exploration, increasing the supply of iron ore reserve resources; intensive development, efficient use; protecting the eco-environment, coordinating development; developing overseas iron ore resources, improving resource security capacity; ensuring the healthy and sustainable development of the steel industry in Henan Province.
