　　◎  本报编辑部

　　世界面临百年未有之大变局和去年以来新冠肺炎疫情的交织影响，各国人民对和平发展的期盼更加殷切，对合作共赢的追求更加坚定。面对新的时代课题，人们必须做出历史性的抉择。

　　2021中国国际矿业大会就是在这样的背景下召开的。

　　坚定信心、集聚共识，勇于变革、善于创新。中国国际矿业大会自1999年开始举办，至今已连续成功举办22届，已跻身为全球规模最大、最具影响力的矿业展会之一。大会涵盖了地质调查、勘探开采、技术装备、投资金融、服务贸易等矿业全产业链，已经成为矿业市场和产业发展动向的晴雨表和风向标，是切实促进国际矿业繁荣和可持续发展的重要平台。

　　新一轮科技革命、产业变革和数字经济蓬勃发展，赋予了矿业行业变革突破的机遇，模式创新、技术创新、服务创新正在引领矿业向“绿色、安全、和谐、智能、高效”的方向转型升级。借助中国国际矿业大会这一交流平台，创新的力量将促进全球矿业合作走向新的发展阶段、产生新的发展模式。

　　近年来，中国的发展理念发生重大变革，在处理好保护与发展、人与自然的关系方面取得重大进展。绿水青山就是金山银山、山水林田湖草是生命共同体、人与自然和谐共生等理念不断深入人心，广大人民群众节约资源和保护环境的意识不断增强。资源环境管理体制发生重构性重大变革，自然资源产权制度和全民所有自然资源有偿使用制度改革有序推进。资源利用水平稳步提升，矿产开采回采率和选矿回收率等重要指标显著提升，矿山规模化集约化程度提升，建成绿色矿山1254家。加强中西部贫困地区地质找矿工作力度，调查发现一批矿产资源地，攻克一批资源节约集约与综合利用关键技术，支撑矿业绿色与高质量发展，带动贫困群众就近就业、稳岗、增收。

　　中国大力推进矿业领域科技创新，加快建设数字化、智能化、信息化、自动化矿山，提升矿山智能化基础能力，提高矿山智能化技术与装备水平。“5G+工业互联网”在采矿业表现出了巨大的市场空间和强劲的发展后劲，产品体系不断丰富，包括远程设备操控、机器视觉质检、设备故障诊断、无人智能巡检、生产现场监测等十大典型应用场景，形成了涵盖矿区信息基础设施建设、掘进与综采设备管控、安全监测与管理、生产流程控制、生产经营管理等大类的百余款“5G+工业互联网”产品。同时，产业各方加快技术创新夯实产业基础。

　　中国是经济全球化的坚定捍卫者、贡献者和受益者。中国是世界上最大的矿产品生产国、消费国和贸易国，采矿业是中国对外直接投资的主要行业之一，为维护全球矿产产业链稳定、促进矿产所在国家和地区经济发展和民生改善做出了巨大贡献，同时也为矿业更好发展贡献了中国智慧、中国方案。

　　当前，疫情仍在全球肆虐，人类社会已被深刻改变，矿业合作前行的路并不平坦。最新一期《世界经济展望》预测2021年全球经济增长5.9%，相较7月预测下调了0.1个百分点。各国短期经济走势的分化将对中期经济表现产生持久影响，疫情造成的“断层”似乎将持续更长时间。

　　今年的矿业大会以“多边合作，为了后疫情时代的发展与繁荣”为主题，希望能以矿业国际合作的确定性来对冲全球经济复苏过程中出现的不确定性。

　　事实上，矿业本已呈现出顽强的复苏态势。今年上半年，全球矿产勘查景气度持续攀升，油气、固体矿产勘查年度预算有望企稳反弹。全球固体矿产钻探项目数、钻孔总数大幅增长。固体矿产项目融资量价齐升，项目并购数量减价升，大宗矿产、战略性新兴矿产项目融资、并购总体呈翻倍上涨态势。其中，中国矿业企业表现抢眼，并购事件频出。

　　中国经济率先复苏并持续稳定恢复，带动了中国矿业恢复，让世界矿业经济恢复看到了希望。我们相信，这希望会在今年的矿业大会上得以呈现。

　　在2020中国国际矿业大会线上线下结合的基础上，大会主办方推出“中国国际矿业大会云平台”为核心的线上服务体系。大会各项活动，包括开幕式、论坛、国家推介、线上展览等内容均通过该平台面向全球，内容将长期保留并可随时提交和更新。云平台将打破时间和空间的限制，为国内外矿业界提供“永不落幕”的宣传渠道、展示平台和交流途径。

　　志合者，不以山海为远。我们希望与国际同行一道，推动中国国际矿业大会向更加国际化、市场化、规范化迈进，为经济全球化发展打开新局面、带来新气象。

　　Since last year, the world has undergone profound changes unseen in a century, and the COVID-19 pandemic is widespread and intertwined worldwide. People of all countries are more eager for peaceful development and more determined to pursue win-win cooperation. Facing the new era, we must make a historical choice.

　　The 2021 China Mining Conference & Exhibition is coming under such a background.

　　This Conference has been successfully held for 22 consecutive sessions Since 1999, with features of strong confidence, consensus building, courage to change and innovation ability, and has become one of the largest and most influential mining exhibitions in the world. It covers the whole mining industry chain, including geological survey, exploration, technology and equipment, investment and finance, and service trade,etc. It has become a barometer and vane of the mining market and industry development trend, and an important platform to effectively promote the prosperity and sustainable development of the international mining industry.

　　The new round of scientific and technological revolution, industrial transformation and digital economy booming have given the mining industry opportunities for reform and breakthrough. Mode innovation, technological innovation and service innovation are leading the mining industry to transform and upgrade to the direction of "Green, Safe, Harmonious, Intelligent and Efficient". Through the China Mining Conference & Exhibition as a communication platform, the power of innovation will promote the global mining cooperation to a new stage of development and produce a new development model.

　　In recent years, China has undergone major changes in its development concept and made significant progress in striking a balance between conservation and development, as well as between man and nature. People have become more aware of ideas such as “clear waters and green mountains are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver”,and conserving resources and protecting the environment. Major restructuring took place in the management system of resources and the environment, and orderly progress was made in the reform of the natural resources property right system and the system of paid use of natural resources assets owned by the whole people. The utilization of resources has been steadily improved, major indicators such as mineral exploitation recovery rate and mineral processing recovery rate have been significantly improved, the scale and intensification of mines have been enhanced， and a total of 1,254 green mines have been built. We strengthened geological prospecting in poor areas in the central and western China, discovered a number of mineral resource areas, and made breakthroughs in key technologies for resource conservation and intensive and comprehensive utilization. We supported the green and high-quality development of mining industry, and encouraged poor people find jobs nearby, stabilize their posts, and increase their incomes.

　　China vigorously promotes scientific and technological innovation in the mining sector, speeds up the construction of digitalized, intelligent, informationized and automated mines, upgrades the basic capacity of mine intellectualization, and improves the level of mine intellectualization technology and equipment. "5G+ Industrial Internet" has shown huge market space and strong development potential in the mining industry. It has more than 100 products covering mining area information infrastructure construction, safety monitoring and management, production process control,etc. in ten typical application scenarios such as remote equipment control, machine vision quality inspection, equipment fault diagnosis. At the same time, all sectors of the industry accelerated technological innovation to consolidate the industrial foundation.

　　China is a staunch defender, contributor and beneficiary of economic globalization, the world's largest producer, consumer and trader of minerals. Mining industry is one of the main industries of China's foreign direct investment, and has made great contributions to maintaining the stability of the global mineral industry chain and promoting the economic development and improvement of people's livelihood in relevant countries and regions. Meanwhile, China has also contributed Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the better development of the mining industry.

　　At present, the epidemic is still raging around the world, human society has been profoundly changed, the road of mining cooperation and progress is not smooth. The latest World Economic Outlook predicts that the global economy will grow by 5.9% in 2021, with a decrease of 0.1 percentage point compared to the forecastits in July. The divergence of short-term economic trends of various countries will have a lasting impact on medium-term economic performance, and the huge gap caused by the epidemic seem likely to last longer.

　　With the theme of "Multilateral cooperation—for development and prosperity of post pandemic era", The 2021 China Mining Conference & Exhibition hopes to offset rising uncertainties of global economic recovery with the certainty of international cooperation in mining.

　　In fact, The mining industry had already shown a resilient recovery. In the first half of this year, global mineral exploration business keep prosperity, and annual budgets for oil and gas and solid mineral exploration are expected to stabilize and rebound. The number of solid mineral drilling projects and the total number of drilling holes in the world increased significantly. The financing volume and price of solid mineral project both increased, while the number of mergers and acquisitions is down but the price is up. The financing, mergers and acquisitions of bulk mineral, strategic emerging mineral project showed a doubling upward trend. Chinese mining companies performed well, due to frequent mergers and acquisitions.

　　China's economy is the first to recover and continues to recover steadily, which drives the recovery of China's mining industry and gives hope to the recovery of world mining industry. We believe that this hope may become a reality at this year's Mining conference.

　　On the basis of last year, the organizers of the conference launched an online service system with "China Mining Conference & Exhibition Cloud Platform" as the core. All the activities of this conference, including the opening ceremony, forum, national promotion and online exhibition, will be streamed live to the world through the platform, and the contents will be retained for a long time and can be submitted and updated at any time. The cloud platform provides a "never ending" publicity channel, display platform and communication channel for domestic and foreign mining industry.

　　Those who share the same vision will not regard mountains and seas apart as far apart.We hope to work together with our international counterparts to make China Mining Conference & Exhibition more internationalized, market-oriented and standardized, and open up new prospects for the development of economic globalization.
