Coal Mine Background

The coal mine was approved to start construction in February 2013 by the former Shanxi Provincial Coal Industry Department. At present, due to being affected by factors such as weather and policy suspension, the remaining part of the project has not been completed as planned. In September 2019, the Shanxi Provincial Energy Bureau has approved that the construction period of the merger, reorganization and integration project of Shanxi Hongdong Xishan Guangdao Coal Industry Co., Ltd. can be extended by 7 months to April 19, 2020.
