Abstract: The source of competition superiority of China's metal mining and its status quo are analyzed using Porter's diamond model, and its competition superiority model is constructed. The results show that China's metal mining does not have evident competition superiority but has a good development opportunity. Suggestions are therefore made on the countermeasures for implementing the development strategies of state, trade and enterprise.

Key words: Metal mining, Competition superiority strategy, Countermeasures, Suggestions
