The total mining volume control index of the national tungsten concentrate (65% tungsten trioxide content, the same below) is 108000 tons, of which the main mining index is 80820 tons and the comprehensive utilization index is 27180 tons. All the above indicators include the first batch of indicators issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources on the first batch of rare earth tungsten mining total control indicators (Natural Resources Development (2021) No. 24).
The index shall be decomposed and issued within 10 working days of the issuance of this notice, and the total amount control index of rare earth mining shall be centrally issued to the mining enterprises under the rare earth group.
After decomposing and issuing the total quantity control index of rare earth ore and tungsten mining, the relevant provincial (autonomous region) departments in charge of natural resources should organize the departments in charge of natural resources at the city and county level where the mine is located to sign a letter of responsibility with the mining enterprise. clarify rights, obligations and liability for breach of contract.
