Is it illegal for individuals to mine in 2022?

Individual mining is not allowed in 2022, but if you only mine, it is not illegal, but the state does not advocate it and is not protected by law. In fact, the relevant departments can impose penalties regardless of whether individual mining is illegal or not, and try not to mine. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice to continuously rectify the mining industry. Strictly speaking, artisanal mining is not illegal, but it is illegal. Violation of law generally refers to violation of the provisions of the national constitution and laws. In theory, individuals can mine freely, but the state considers that mining is harmful to the environment (power consumption, not environmental protection), and mining is easy to breed fraud, pyramid schemes and other gangs, which is not protected by the state and has great risks, so it is said to try not to mine.
