Abstract:The mineral resources planning is an important special plan of the national planning system. It is an important means to implement the national resource security strategy. It is a guiding document for the people's government at all levels to manage and protect the mineral resources according to law. Its main planning objectives are put into practice in the national economic and social development planning at the same level. It is strategic, policy-oriented and operable. The planning of mineral resources in Shandong province has been started at provincial, municipal and county level at the same time in 2014. At present, the provincial planning and some municiple plans have been implemented, and the other cities and counties are in the orderly implementation. Through summary and analysis on the third plan, it is regarded that the difficulties in the planning and compilation are mainly in the aspects of basic research, the planning connection and the setting of the exploration and development blocks. Problems existed in the planning are as follows:basic research is weak, the lack of cohesion between the planning at various levels, the difficulties in the delimitation of the protected areas, the optimization of the block setting and the administration, the policy measures are poor, the level of the staff and the review experts need to be promoted, and the period of the compilation is too long. It is suggested that basic research of the planning, the connection of the planning and compilation, the regulation and control of total amount of mining, the exploration and exploitation blocks setting, and the planning training work should be strengthened, and the progress of compilation should be sped up.
