(2) Reasonably develop the domestic nickel resources. The development of nickel resources in China should strictly abide by the laws and regulations of the national mineral resources and environmental protection. Orderly carry it out according to the national industrial policies and development planning guidance. Mine development must have a reasonable planning; it is strictly forbidden the devastating unchecked excavation to the nickel resource. Nickel smelting should be made efforts to realize the unification of economic, environmental and social benefits. To control environmental pollution, shutting down backward production capacity which can not meet environmental protection.
(3) Optimization of the nickel industry structure. The products as a leader and the assets as a link accelerate our country's strategic restructuring of the nickel industry to form the internationally competitive large nickel enterprises and realize the reasonable industrial chain and organizational structure.
(4) Speed up the technological progress and promote the industrial upgrading. The development and utilization technology of the domestic nickel resources has made significant progress, but there is a big gap compared with the international advanced level. In order to speed up the development of nickel industry in China, develop the domestic and foreign mineral resources and meet the needs of economic and social development, we must rely on the technological progress and promoting the industrial upgrading.
The focus on the development of nickel industry in China is: the comprehensive recovery utilization technology of low grade ore and multi metal ore; the smelting technology of lateritic nickel; the nickel base alloy production technology. For as soon as possible to develop the advanced technology with independent intellectual property rights, to break the technology blockade against our country of the international nickel industry Multi-National Corporation, to reduce the cost of development of nickel resources in China. Finally，to enhance the international competitiveness of nickel industry enterprises.
