Zijin mining industry to eliminate environmental protection door to eradicate also need more hand to help push

Recently, the Ministry of Environmental Protection in 2007-2008 through the environmental protection of the Ministry of Environmental Protection inspection of listed companies issued a circular, Zijin mining, chenming paper and other 11 listed companies due to the existence of serious environmental problems have not yet scheduled rectification, there are greater environmental risks are reported criticism.　　These companies not only deviate from the listed companies as a public company should be honest and trustworthy principle, and allow environmental problems may lead to major environmental risks, environmental pollution, harm the interests of investors. This newspaper deliberately selected are once again on the list of Zijin Mining and chenming paper as a specimen analysis. Why does environmental protection reform promise become scrap?　　Emphasis on extensive, profit-oriented operation, environmental protection and law-abiding consciousness indifference, the existence of coping mentality and lucky mentality, why the vast majority of investors in disregard of the interests? The first gold stocks in China have been mired in environmental protection. Half a month ago, the Ministry of Environmental Protection in 2007-2008 through the environmental protection of the Ministry of Environmental Protection inspection of listed companies issued a circular, named criticized Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. (601899.SH,2899.HK, hereinafter referred to as "Zijin mining") and other 11 listed companies,　　Said the existence of serious environmental problems has not yet scheduled rectification. Of the 11 companies that have been briefed on the criticism, the Zijin mining company has 7 companies that appear to be on the top of environmental issues.　　And scattered in Hunan, Xinjiang, Fujian and other land of the 7 companies involved in environmental protection issues are related to tailings treatment.　　Zijin Mining Chairman Chen Jinghe accepted The Times weekly reporter interview, said the company is actively processing, in the previous half a month has been rectified a part of the rest of the scheduled rectification completed.　　However, the stock price of Zijin mining did not stop because of the positive attitude of listed companies and the promise of rectification. Zijin the Green door again. This is not the first time Zijin mining has appeared on the blacklist. As early as 2008, Zijin Mining was almost out of stock due to environmental problems.　　And the announcement of criticism is due to the legacy of environmental problems have not been completely corrected and again in the Recruit. In the 90 's, Zijin mining depended on Zijinshan gold mine. However, its "first development, after the environmental protection" model let many officials to a tiger. 2003 Zijin Mining successfully listed in Hong Kong, 2008 was intended to return to the A-share market, but just returned to the mainland stock market has encountered a new "Green Ridge": January 9, 2008, the SFC issued "on the heavy pollution industry production and management company IPO application document Notification", expressly proposed to the sponsor,　　If a heavy polluting industry applies for the initial public offering of shares, the application documents shall provide the State environmental protection administration with the verification opinion, without obtaining the relevant opinions, and not accepting the application. In 2008, Sepa first released the results of environmental audits of 37 listed companies, of which 10 were not approved or suspended through listing verification, Zijin Mining is one of them. At that time, Zijin mining new acquisition of Hunan Hengyang Shang Qing Mining Co., Ltd. 5 companies such as poor environmental protection, there have been environmental problems, for this by the Environmental Protection Bureau jammed, was required rectification. Zijin Mining will be the 5 companies to clean up the production, and the replacement of environmental protection procedures, at the same time promised to make rectification, the final listing. But two years later, when the Ministry of Environmental Protection checked, the Zijin mining commitment was as scrap as it was, and it did not complete all the rectification.　　After the incident exposure, many investors out of the market, Zijin mining industry after 2008 again deep in the mire of environmental protection.　　For the announcement of the company's share price and image of the impact of Zijin Mining chairman and President Chen Jinghe slightly helpless to The Times reporter said: "Our enterprise environmental standards in the industry has been at a first-class level, this time to be informed criticism I was surprised." Mining is a heavy polluting industry, it is inevitable to find out some environmental problems.　　"Chen Jinghe said that the company is actively processing, in the previous half a month has been rectified part of the rest of the scheduled rectification completed. The big problem of the environmental protection of tailings since the project can be rectified within half a month, why Zijin Mining has dragged from 2008 to 2010 years? "The problem is the small business of Zijin mining. Some enterprises are the group just received the merger, the rectification will take time. Li Shide, vice president of Zijin Mining, explained to The Times Reporter: "the Ministry of Environmental Protection has been checking since last November, and we have exchanged views with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and made corresponding rectification." "But Lee admits:" At that time the enterprise belongs to the basic rectification, did not overhaul, this is one of the reasons why we have been singled out for criticism because of the historical problems. Moreover Zijin mining enterprise many, and disperses farther, may have some internal management problem in the environmental protection rectification process. Chen Jinghe told The Times weekly reporter, Zijin mining investment in environmental protection accounted for the sum of about 15% of each project. And Li Shide also said that environmental protection is Zijin Mining Foundation work, the company has a safety and Environmental protection Department at Headquarters, and each subordinate enterprise also has the safety and Environmental Protection Department, the Environmental Protection organization is very sound.　　Chen Jinghe constantly stressed to reporters that the reported is a few details of the problem, not difficult to govern, and will not cause major pollution problems. The details of Chen's mouth, in fact, is the tailings treatment, that is, the Zijin mining 7 companies reported the main problem.　　In the mining sewage treatment, water and solid waste are two major sewage, and tailings belong to solid waste. Tailings treatment is an important part of mine production, and also an important component of the construction and operation of mineral processing plants.　　Once mishandled, it is easy to cause environmental pollution. "The tailings contain heavy metals and organic chemicals, and if handled improperly, the impact of the tailings on the environment will be long-lasting," said Dr. Zhengpeng, an environmental expert at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If the tailings seep into the soil or water source, it will affect the human ecological environment.　　Zhengpeng to reporters that tailings treatment is not a small problem, but the big problem of mining environmental protection.　　Why the big problem in the mouth of environmental experts, to the Zijin mining Mister's mouth has become the details of the problem? Fujian Province, a famous industrial sewage expert Zhang told The Times weekly reporter through said: "Domestic mining environmental protection has been not standardized, enterprises have been accustomed to." Mining dozens of of tons of mine can only be dug into a gram of gold, then there are large quantitiesTailings need to be treated. To establish a complete and effective tailings treatment system, enterprise investment is very large, at tens of millions of. This is a burden for big businesses like Zijin mining, not to mention small businesses. "Eradication also requires a lot of help pushing the Zijin mining board of directors told The Times Weekly Reporter: The company was notified by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, but has not received any other penalties or fines notice. Professor Zhang also to the Times weekly reporter analysis said: "The domestic enterprise's environmental protection illegal cost is too low, to some big enterprise is perfunctory, the deterrent force is not enough." Compared to the establishment of a perfect tailings treatment system tens of millions of of the high price, enterprises in the emergence of environmental pollution problems in the punishment and penalties for a lot less.　　Pan Yue, Deputy Minister of National Environmental Protection, said: "At present, China's capital market environment access mechanism is not yet mature, the listed companies still lack of environmental supervision, leading to some" double-high "enterprises or the use of investor funds to continue to expand pollution, or after successful financing does not fulfill environmental protection commitments, environmental accidents and environmental violations occur frequently. Therefore, strengthening the environmental verification of listed companies and urging listed companies to fulfill their social responsibilities and disclose environmental information will not only promote the improvement of environmental performance of listed companies, but also help protect investors ' interests. "For this reason, the Ministry of Environmental Protection in 2008 requested that companies engaged in thermal power, steel, cement, electrolytic aluminum and trans-provincial" double High "industries (13 types of heavy polluting industries) to apply for IPO or refinancing, must be in accordance with the provisions of Environmental Protection Bureau for Environmental Verification.　　The environmental verification opinion will be the prerequisite for accepting the application of the SFC. Although this "green hand" helped push the environmental regulation of listed companies, it is also difficult to regulate all listed companies. "The Environmental protection supervision system of listed companies can not solve the problem fundamentally, in addition to enhancing environmental awareness, the research on the development model of heavy polluting industry is worth pondering." "A professor of the Shanghai Donghua University Environmental Institute said to the Times Reporter:" Many areas ' first development, after the environmental protection ' model although the development of the economy, but also increased the cost of environmental remediation in the future. The pattern of ' development and environmental protection ' is worth trying. ”
