On July 4, it was learned from Ningxia natural resources department that in order to deepen the reform of mineral resources management, Ningxia selected Wuzhong City and its counties (districts) to carry out a two-year pilot work of net mining right transfer, and built a working mechanism of "net mining" transfer of mineral resources, which is led by the government, coordinated by departments, decided by the market, scientifically allocated and supervised by the society.

By the end of 2021, pilot cities and counties (districts) will have completed the net transfer of mining rights no less than 30% of this year's plan; By the end of 2022, the number of completed net mining right transfers will not be less than 50% of the current year's mining right transfer plan.

Ningxia proposed that the natural resources departments of the pilot cities and counties (districts) should select the qualified mining rights to be transferred in the annual transfer plan of mining rights, and the territorial government should organize the development and reform, ecological environment and other departments, as well as the township governments where the mines are located, to carry out joint survey and review on the scope of the proposed transfer of mining rights. At the same time, the ownership of the land within the mining area or the affected area of the proposed transfer of mining rights and the ground attachments shall be investigated to ensure that the ownership is clear and in line with the land and forest use policies.

The net mining right in the pilot area is transferred by means of bidding, auction and listing. The natural resources department of the pilot city or county (District) entrusts the mining right evaluation institution to carry out the income evaluation of the transfer of the mining right, determine the initial price of the transfer, and submit it to the mining right trading institution to organize the transfer.
