Mining is Vital to Tibetan Economy
In Tibet, many local people like Ngawang Tsering see the exploration and development of the region’s resources benefiting not only themselves but their family members, including the local post-1980 and post-1990 generations.
Tsering Dekyi, 24, said she feels lucky to be working at Huatailong Mining after graduating.’There are five people in my family and only my dad made money before I got the job at the company,’ she said. ‘I went to Jiangsu province to go to middle school and Tianjin for my high school. Because we were poor, my brother and I could not both go to college.’
She decided to let her younger brother go to college instead of her.
However, after she worked as an intern at Huatailong Mining, the company decided to send her to Shenyang in Liaoning province to study at the Northeastern University, majoring in mining engineering and mining machinery like stone production line.
‘State-owned companies have brought not only economic growth for Tibet, but also the opportunities for local young people to benefit economically and academically,’ said Tsering Dekyi. ‘This is a great contribution.’
She said that the mining industry in Tibet is essential for national economic growth and she is keen to see every single ore mined here fully used for the economy.
So far, Huatailong Mining has financed nine local young people to go to college in inland areas. It also donated 740,000 yuan to improve local people’s daily lives and 550,000 yuan to local students in the autonomous region.
To counter poverty and improve local employment, the company hired 191 locals in Tibet. There are 214 staff employees from non-Han ethnic groups, which account for 35 percent of the company’s staff, the highest percentage among mining companies in China. vsi sand maker:http://www.crusher-machine.com/18.html

Before China Gold came to Jiama, there used to be many small-scale private miners. Some locals made a living by driving trucks for a transport business but because they were not well managed disputes often broke out.
To help the local Tibet residents to have better living standards and earn more, the company decided to hire them to help with the planting. Each of them can get paid 50 to 70 yuan a day. According to the company, during April to September, the company can help 60 to 80 local people to earn 7,500 yuan each.
‘I used to be snubbed by my fellow villagers because I helped people from the inland to explore the mining resources in the region,’ said Lukhang Yeshe when being asked about the difficulties of his job.
He started by acting as an interpreter of the Tibetan language for Mandarin speakers in 2008 and is now the general manager’s assistant at Huatailong.
He said the area has a 15-year history of mining and there were mainly private companies in the area before China Gold came in 2008. The private mining companies were not well regulated and disputes often erupted among the local people over the deaths of yaks that drank polluted water and the reduction in grassland.
The regional government asked State-owned companies to begin mining and associated development there during the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-10). The aim was to develop the mining resources scientifically with advanced technology and protect the fragile natural environment on the plateau at the same time.
As the professional manufacturer of complete sets of mining machinery, such as jaw crusher, Henan Hongxing is always doing the best in products and service.
