Shandong Province to shut down small coal mines below 300,000 mt capacity

Wednesday, 24 August 2011

Shandong Coal Industry Administration in China's Shandong Province is proposing to upgrade small coal mines with annual production capacities under 300,000 mt in the province in order to expand their capacities. By the end of 2015, all coal mines in the province with annual capacities lower than 300,000 mt are to be shut down.

To control mining accidents, the local authorities in Shandong are keeping a close eye on local mining activities and have issued very strict requirements for accident reports and accountability. As regards illegal mining activities, the mines and the relevant responsible persons will be faced with sanctions.
