Mineral resources are the important material bases for promoting industrial development ,and the development of human civilization is closely related to the level of utilization of mineral resources .Coupled with its non-renewableness ,China 's legislature has set up a strict protection system to protect mineral resources .The boundary line of the protection system should be clear and reasonable .So as the protected object of mineral resource laws - -"mineral resources",its concept must be clearly distinct in law .But in China's current legislation ,there are no proper interpretation of the concept ,thereby causing a dispute about the ownership of mineral resources ,difficulty in identifying criminal offenses or other offenses .This is a legisla-tive defect which should not arise from a democratic legal country .Therefore ,clarifying the legal concept of mineral resources is the primary task of improving legislation on mineral rights and realizing the goal of protection of mineral resources .%矿产资源是推动工业发展的重要物质基础 ,矿产资源的利用水平与人类社会文明发展密切相关 ,加之其不可再生性 ,故我国在立法方面对矿产资源设置了严格的保护制度.而保护的界限应当是明确合理的 ,作为矿产资源法律所保护的对象——"矿产资源" ,其法律概念必须清楚明析.但当前我国立法对这一概念尚未有妥当的诠释 ,由此引起了关于矿产资源的权属争议、刑事犯罪认定障碍等各种司法问题 ,这是民主法治国家不应有之立法缺陷 ,故厘清矿产资源的法律概念是完善矿产资源立法 ,实现合理保护矿产资源目标的首要任务.
