For the crime of illegal mining, judicial appraisal is a very important core evidence, and it is no exaggeration to say that the public procuratorate and judicial organs relied on this to convict.

According to common sense, such an important appraisal opinion is related to a person's sin or not, and it should be very rigorous. But judging from the large number of illegal mining cases that I have been exposed to, many of the forensic appraisals are very crude and irresponsible, and many of the figures in them are estimated, and the whole process is very sloppy.

I'll give you an example, for example, the personnel are based on the geometric method to measure the amount of ore, to use the simplest analogy, for example, a teacup is like a mining pit, how to determine the amount of mining? The appraiser will assume that the mouth of the teacup is a plane, then calculate the volume of this cube, and then multiply it by the weight of the mineral and ** to get the ore value.

But there are two questions here, first, is the original landform flat, will there be natural depressions in the original quilt, or historical mining pits? Second, how can it be inferred that this cube is full of ore, and under normal circumstances, there will be overburden, rocks and surrounding rocks in the ore body, why not deduct this part? If it is deducted, how much is deducted, so this identification method is very unscientific, according to this method, the amount of illegal mining may be inflated by more than half.

Judges and prosecutors are not willing to make any effort to understand this kind of problem. This requires a lawyer to identify the problem and correct the problem. However, this kind of forensic opinion of the mining industry cannot be read or understood by ordinary lawyers. There are a lot of geological drawings and calculation formulas, and I can understand them if I am not modest. Only if you can understand it, can you find the problem.

In illegal mining cases, if the conventional criminal defense line of thought is followed, I am afraid that many suspects will be wronged. Therefore, regarding illegal mining, it is still necessary to find a professional lawyer who understands mining. Subsequently, I will tell you how many pits there are in the forensic identification of illegal mining.
