Qiannan Prefecture Promotes Coal Industry Upgrades, Aiming for Full Coverage of Intelligent Mining Within the Year


Recently, Qiannan Prefecture introduced the "Qiannan Prefecture Coal Industry 2025 Annual 'Six Batches' Work Refinement Plan," which clearly states that through the classified management approach of "building a batch, upgrading a batch, integrating a batch, rectifying a batch, revitalizing a batch, and eliminating a batch," it will promote the intensive, mechanized, and intelligent development of the coal industry. According to the plan, by the end of 2025, the prefecture is expected to retain 28 coal mines with a total capacity of 9.9 million tons per year, striving for an annual raw coal output exceeding 3 million tons.
This industrial upgrade focuses on intelligent transformation as the core objective. The plan requires that all normally operating coal mines in Qiannan Prefecture achieve comprehensive mechanized extraction, with the proportion of mechanized tunneling increasing from the current 50% to over 80%. At the same time, auxiliary systems in production coal mines will achieve 100% remote centralized control, unmanned operation, and manned inspections, and at least one intelligent tunneling working face will be established.
Regarding the specific implementation path, the plan proposes the construction and commissioning of three coal mines in Duyun City’s Qingshan Mine and Pingtang County’s Fucheng Mine, each with a production scale of 300,000 tons per year or more; enhancing the financial support capacity of five coal mines through methods such as "investment attraction by entrepreneurs and capital expansion"; promoting the integration of scattered resources in five coal mines; helping five coal mines with uncoordinated mining recover normal production; facilitating the restart of two long-term stalled coal mines; and completing the closure and withdrawal of Taifeng Coal Mine in Weng’an County.
To ensure effective results, the plan is paired with multiple supporting measures. Each coal-producing county (city) must be equipped with professional regulatory forces, with professional regulatory personnel making up no less than 75% of the staff, and newly recruited regulatory personnel must undergo three months of on-site training at mines. Additionally, a regular training mechanism is established, requiring at least one full training session for all regulatory personnel each year.
In terms of safety supervision, the plan calls for strict inspections of large systems and major hidden hazards, focusing on significant safety risks and strictly implementing administrative law enforcement disclosure and full-process recording systems. Each coal-producing county (city) must also designate personnel to regularly monitor work progress and promptly coordinate and resolve any issues arising during implementation.
