  2. Outline How Can CASM-China Support Sustainable ASM? What Are Major Features of ASM in China? What has CASM-China Done Since 2006acc? What Does CASM-China Plan to Do in Near Future?

  3. How CASM-China Can Support Sustainable ASM? • Improve the development of ASM in China by ways of two directions • Top-Down approach: • Drafting legal articles into the second revision of mineral resources law of the people’s Republic of China; • Carrying out national policy study on the orderly and healthy development of ASM in the second mineral planning of China in the 11th-five-year (2007-2010) period for MLR; • Joining forum of strategic decisions on resource consolidation campaign by central government.

  4. How CASM-China Can Support Sustainable ASM? • Bottom-Up approach: • Actively propagandizing the importance and ways in protecting the environment while mining and concentrating; • Frequently advised and taught the mine-owners why and how to use environmental friendly methods in their practical business; • Sharing international and domestic experiences and knowledge in the field of ASM; • Expanding the network of CASM-China.

  6. What Are Major Features of ASM China? Large amount of ASM, though sharp reducing over recent years

  7. Broad dispersedness of ASM around China with a clear S-shape allocation

  8. Dominated by chemical and energy mineral ASM （﹥86%)with a diversity of other sectors

  9. The number of ASM in China has been sharply reducing over last 8 years as a result of closure and resource consolidation policies started in 1999-2000 and 2004-2005 respectively.

  14. Differences?

  15. Compare which is the best?

  16.
