It include two meanings: First according to mines kinds, prospecting kinds were the fist category of 《Classified Category》. Second according to prospect areas, the application prospecting project must in area that although had been prospected, had not obtained the right for further mineral prospecting. What dose it mean? We must make clear of 'working blank area 'and 'mineral area'. What is 'blank area'? There is no uniform conclusion now, it was also the first shown on relative laws and regulations of mineral resources management. The general understanding is the geological work degree of application of geological prospecting is no more than 1:50,000 regional geological prospecting work. So what is minerals? The《Notice on cleaning up proven minerals which explored by country funded》has a precision definition for 'proven minerals', it refers to the area that have industrial value and further work value founded by geological prospecting.

To sum up, which accord the two conditions will be able to obtain the prospecting rights by the way of applying earlier.
