As one of the most developed provinces in China, Jiangsu province is also a significantly important mineral producing area. 133 kinds of minerals as well as 1500 mineral sites have already been found there. Recently, as a result of the scale expansion of mineral mining and the increase of mineral resources exploitation level, the mining-induced geo-hazards have been becoming more and more serious. In this paper, the present situation of mining-induced geo-hazards in Jiangsu Province is analyzed based on the field investigation and data analysis, and six major environmental geological problems about mining geo-hazards are concluded, namely the land subsidence, landslide, ground fissures, rockfall, ground collapse and mining solid waste pollution. The causes, scales and the intensity of mining-induced geo-hazards are analyzed and the development trends are predicted, and finally the corresponding countermeasures are put forward on the above basis.
