Development Strategy Of The Iron Resources In The Anyang-Linzhou Aera, Henan Province

The steel industry using iron ore resources as raw materials has made great contributions to the sustainable and rapid development of the regional economy in the Anyang-Linzhou region. However with the continueous and rapid development of regional economy, the demand for iron ore increases rapidly. The development is at a high level, but the production of raw ore reaches only about 5% of demand, which is far from meeting the demand of iron and steel industry in Anyang-Linzhou region; meanwhile, iron ore reserve resources are of serious shortage, so it is of important strategic significance to carry out the study on the security strategy of iron ore resources to the sustainable development of regional economy and to carry out the strategy of being driven by superior mineral resources, to realize eco-environment protection and coordinated development basing on scientific and technological progress and making good use of resources.Adopting resource economics, resource strategy, theory of circular economy, sustainable development theory, outlook of scientific development and so on, based on the principles of the combination of theory and practice and the combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis, the paper analyzed the geological conditions of mineralization of iron ore in Anyang-Linzhou region, summarized the laws of mineralization of iron ore, classified the types of iron ore in the region, and systematically studied the characteristics of typical deposits, which can effectively guide the exploration of iron ore resources in the region and increase the reserve of iron ore so as to improve the security degree of the iron ore resources in the region. The paper also analyzed the iron ore exploration and the status quo of exploration in the area, and assessed the potential of iron ore resources (including coverage area, deep and surrounding deposits) in the region with the comprehensive analysis of the various factors affecting reserves based on identifying that it has the geological conditions and prospect of mineralization; defined the forecasting area of iron ore resource and made classification and make quantitative prediction to the volume of the resource; described objectively the assurance degree of iron ore resource; analyzed systematically the type and status quo of major environmental problems caused by the development and utilization of iron ore resources, analyzed the influence of the activities of iron ore development on the bearing capacity of environment, its status quo and development trend, discussed disposing rightly the relationship between economic development and resource development & environmental protection, and explored the green development mode of mining industry harmonizing economic development, resource development and environmental protection.Combining theoretical research and empirical analysis, holding the point of view of basing on domestic security resource supply, the paper defined the overall strategy of iron ore resource in Anyang-Linzhou region in a certain period in the future, and put forward the countermeasures and suggestions of settling the problems of iron ore resources in Anyang-Linzhou region from the following five aspects: 1). scientific planning; 2). enhance geological exploration, improve the capacity of security of mineral resources; 3). develop vigorously circular economy, use the resources intensively; 4). develop coordinately resource development and environmental protection; and 5). increase the input and control on iron ore. The paper also proposed the development strategic suggestions of multi-level cooperation mechanism and the strategy of multi-level utilization of domestic and foreign talents and technology. Based on domestic status and using iron ore resources abroad to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of steel industry in the area.
