China's state planner approved a coal mine in the northwestern province of Shaanxi to build new production capacity.
The coal mine, named Yangjiaping, is designed to build the production capacity to 5 million tonnes per annum. This is one of key construction projects for the province in the 14th Five-year Plan period.
Yangjiaping is one of the first batch coal mines that Shaanxi allowed for market-oriented resource allocation. The coal mine covers an area of 144.6 km2, with a recoverable reserve of 541 million tonnes.
Its operator Pingdingshan Changan Energy Development Co., which is a subsidiary of Shandong Energy Group, has successively completed a series of procedures including capacity replacement and land review since April 2020.
After obtaining the project approval, Pingdingshan will embark on development & utilization plan, geological protection and land reclamation plan and environmental impact assessment, striving to obtain the mining license in the first quarter of 2023.
