The purpose of this article is studying the relationship between economic growth in the "curse of resource" hypothesis of theoretical framework of the resources in Yunnan Province. Compared with Yunnan abundance of mineral resources per capita in the national rankings and per capita GDP ranking the beginning of the study, there is a certain degree of negative correlation between mineral resources in Yunnan province and their economic growth by a measurement .In further study, we found "curse of resource" influence their economic development. By a transmission mechanism in Yunnan Province, Through understanding of the hypothesis and observation to the mineral resources in Yunnan Province to, we try to find the key factor which restrict the development and use it as a starting point for the study of economic growth in Yunnan Province to expand a new direction and space.Mineral resources industry in Yunnan Province is one of the five pillar industries, and the importance is known to all of us.

The article on economic growth in Yunnan Province and its related factors through multiple regression analysis found that economic growth in Yunnan Province, is constrained by the resources industry to some extent.
