A few days ago, Guangdong Zhuhai Sand and Stone Soil Company won the mining right of Zhuziling Construction Granite Mine in Doumen Town, Doumen District, Zhuhai City at a sky-high price of 2.86 billion RMB.
This seemingly ordinary sand and gravel mining rights auction, but a stone caused a thousand waves, in Guangdong Province and even the national sand and gravel industry caused a shock. Because the estimated resource cost of the sand and gravel mining right sold this time is as high as 53 yuan/ton, the transaction price has set a new record for the highest transaction price of sand and gravel mining right and the highest resource cost per unit in the history of Guangdong Province, which can be called the "first auction" of sand and gravel in Guangdong Province ".
Data Map
In fact, in recent years, with the local shortage of sand and gravel aggregate prices and their high prices, the stones that have been unknown for many years and have never been obvious are becoming more and more crazy. In particular, many national departments have jointly issued documents to promote the healthy and orderly development of the sand and gravel industry and promote the mechanism of high-quality development of the sand and gravel industry, some large central enterprises, local state-owned enterprises have joined, the sand and gravel industry is surging, undercurrent surging.
With the soaring price of sand and gravel, the bidding price of sand and gravel mining rights has also soared, and it is not uncommon for the transaction price to be several times higher than the starting price. More importantly, some enterprises in order to compete for mining rights, often take a moment to fast regardless of cost. After getting the mineral rights, I found that there was no profit at all, and I ended up stealing chickens and not eroding rice. In recent years, in some areas where sand and gravel are relatively hot in the northwest, the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, the phenomenon of abandoning the bid after bidding for sand and gravel mining rights has occurred. This is the reason.
It is understood that Zhuhai's public auction of mineral rights mining area is located in Doumen District of Zhuhai City, with a resource reserve of 63.3054 million m3 (I .e. 0.164 billion tons), of which the recoverable granite reserve is 35.2001 million m3, the transfer period is 20 years (including infrastructure construction period), the annual design mining volume is 3.14 million m3, the estimated resource cost is as high as 53 yuan/ton, plus the production and processing cost of 22~30 yuan/ton, and the comprehensive cost is about 80 yuan/ton. Such a high trading price for mining rights is rare even in the country. It is no wonder that the relevant personnel of the Guangdong Provincial Sand and Stone Association will have the worry that the earthquake in the sand and stone industry in Guangdong Province is imminent.
In fact, no matter what the purpose is, if you bid frantically for the mine regardless of cost and consequences, it will not only induce great risks, but also have a negative impact on the local economy.
As we all know, sand and gravel resources are relatively low value-added heavy assets, strong regional, price volatility. Therefore, local government departments will set up sand and gravel mining rights based on scientific planning such as regional location, resource conditions, and market demand, and determine a reasonable starting price. Some provinces have also specifically clarified the benchmark price of sand and gravel mining rights. It is to rationally regulate the starting price of sand and gravel and safeguard the rights and interests of national resource owners. However, if the auction unit is hot-headed, blindly bids at high prices, and finally abandons the bid, for the auction unit, the loss is only a little margin, and the rights and interests of the country and the local sand and gravel layout and industrial development will cause irreparable losses, and even affect the bidding and listing of other sand and gravel mining rights. As for the other bidders, the damage is even more incalculable.
Last year, after a central enterprise won a building limestone mining right with a reserve of less than 0.18 billion tons in a certain place in the south of the Yangtze River at a sky-high price of 4.6 billion yuan, it fell into a difficult situation of not losing money in construction and development, and even losing money in construction and development, and finally ended up abandoning the bid. In desperation, the local government recently started the second bidding with a starting price of 1.675 billion yuan, resulting in a great waste of various resources.
To say the least, even if the winning bidder obtains the sand and gravel mining right and sincerely develops and builds the sand and gravel mine, it will have a huge impact on the local economic and social development. As an indispensable raw material for basic construction, high prices have seriously affected a number of key projects and infrastructure construction in recent years. Because of this, the national multi-sector from the stability of the sand and gravel market supply, combined with the following requirements to promote the healthy and orderly development of the sand and gravel industry. If the premium of sand and gravel mining rights is too high, it will inevitably increase the comprehensive cost of sand and gravel. In the end, "the wool is on the sheep" and the higher cost is passed on to the users. This is not only contrary to the country's policy of maintaining supply and price stability, but also Seriously interfere with the local sand and gravel market order. Especially in some coastal areas, it may further induce and aggravate the phenomenon of illegal mining and abuse of sea sand, thereby affecting the quality of the project, and turning the key projects of the "century-old plan" and the popular projects into "tofu dregs" projects and sad projects of the "century-old taboo.
Summer is coming, will autumn be far away? Now the sand and gravel industry has entered the summer in full swing, then sooner or later it will enter autumn and even winter, and this is only a matter of time. On that day, we will wait and see where those companies that have obtained sand and gravel mining rights at sky-high prices will go.□
