Article 1 These Provisions are formulated3, in accordance with the relevant stipulations of the Mineral Resources Law of the People's Republic of China, in order to ensure and promote the exploration, protection and rational development of mineral resources, and to safeguard the property rights to and interests of the state to mineral resources.
Article 2 The mineral resources compensation shall be paid, in accordance with these Provisions, for mining mineral resources within the territory of the People's Republic of China and the sea areas under the jurisdiction4. Where laws or other administrative5 regulations provide otherwise, their stipulations shall apply.
Article 3 The mineral resources compensation shall be computed6 and collected at a certain ratio of the sales income of mineral products. The mineral resources compensation paid by the enterprises shall be included in the administration fees.
For any concessioners holding the mining licenses8 that process mineral products by themselves, their sales income shall be calculated according to state prices; where the state does not fix the prices, their sales income shall be calculated according to the average prices of the mineral products on the local markets at the time of collection.
For concessioners that sell mineral products out of the territory, their sales income shall be calculated according to the prevailing9 sales prices on the international markets.
The term “mineral products” mentioned in these Provisions shall refer to those products extracted or mined and separated from mineral resources which, having been mined or separated, are no longer in their natural state.
Article 4 The mineral resources compensation shall be paid by concessioners.
The mineral resources compensation shall be settled in the currency used in the sales of mineral products; where the mineral products are processed by concessioners themselves, the settlement shall be made in the currency used in sales of the end products.
Article 5 The mineral resources compensation shall be calculated in accordance with the following formulas:
amount of the mineral resources compensation to be collected = sales income of mineral products x compensation rate x coefficient of mining recovery rate
Where,
coefficient of mining recovery rate =
approved mining recovery rate
________________________________
actual mining recovery rate
The approved mining recovery rate shall be the rate prescribed in the mine design that has been approved in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state. With regard to those mining enterprises that, according to the relevant provisions of the state, are not required to prepare the mine design in addition to the mining plan, the mining recovery rate shall be determined10 by the administrative departments in charge of geology and mineral resources under the local people's governments at or above the county level together with other relevant departments at the same level.
For those minerals whose mineral resources compensation cannot be calculated in the formulas provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 hereof, the competent department in charge of geology and mineral resources under the State Council shall make other calculation formulas together with the department of finance under the State Council separately.
Article 6 The mineral resources compensation shall be collected at the rates prescribed in the appendix of these Provisions.
Any adjustment to the rates of the mineral resources compensation shall be jointly12 determined by the department of finance under the State Council, the competent department in charge of geology and mineral resources under the State Council and the competent department in charge of planning under the State Council, and submitted to the State Council for approval and implementation13.
Article 7 The mineral resources compensation shall be collected by the competent departments in charge of geology and mineral resources together with the departments of finance.
Where a mining district is within a county-level administrative region, the administrative department in charge of geology and mineral resources under the people's government at the county level of the place where the mining district is located shall be responsible for collecting the mineral resources compensation.
Where a mining district extends across more than one administrative region at or above the county level, the administrative department in charge of geology and mineral resources under the people's government at the next higher level of all the administrative regions involved shall be responsible for collecting the mineral resources compensation.
Where a mining district extends across more than one provincial14 administrative region, or is within the territorial15 seas of the People's Republic of China or other sea areas under its jurisdiction, the competent department in charge of geology and mineral resources under the provincial people's governments authorized16 by the competent department in charge of geology and mineral resources under the State Council shall be responsible for collecting the mineral resources compensation.
