摘要: "小矿"是"小型矿山"的简称,因规模小、投资少、见效快等特点在发展中国家普遍存在,是各国矿业和农村经济的重要组成部分。但同时,它又因浪费资源、破坏环境、安全事故频发等问题而受到国际社会的高度关注。然而,到目前为止,国内外对小矿尚无一个公认的概念。论文基于对现有"小矿"定义以及与小矿相关概念的细致比较,试图给小矿下一个定义,籍此为我国修订中的《矿产资源法》献计献策。笔者以为,小矿是 "以谋生或营利为目的,采用简单或基础的采掘设备与技术,在有限的矿藏范围内从事某种矿产品采选活动的小规模、劳动密集型矿山企业。其中包括开采规模达到国家规定的小型矿山标准的小型矿山企业和开采规模在小型矿山上限1/10以下的小矿山企业(含零星个体采矿)。小矿是采矿业最基本的构成部门。"

Abstract: SSM is a short form for the small-scale mine, which is fairly popular in developing countries for its small scale with less capital but quick return, and is a component part of a country’s mining industry and rural economy. Meanwhile, it has captured universal attention to its numerous negative effects, such as wastage of natural resources, environmental pollution, poor safety records and endless mine accidents. Unfortunately there is no generally-accepted definition for SSM both at home and abroad so far. The paper conducts a thorough comparison of the existing definitions of SSM in foreign countries and in China and finally comes up with a personal definition so as to make some contributions to the Mineral Resources Law under revision. The author contends that small-scale mines are "small-scaled and labour-intensive mining enterprises that, for livelihood or commercial purposes, conduct mining operations in mineral-limited areas by applying simple or rudimentary mining equipment and technology. They include small-scaled mines with a production capacity that conforms to the national small-scale criteria, and artisanal mines with a capacity below 1/10 of the upper limit of the criteria for the former, all of which being a fundamentally component part of the mining industry."

Key words: small-scale mines, legal implications, Mineral Resources Law
