Learned from the State Administration of Mine Safety: Positive progress has been made in the intelligent construction of coal mines in recent years. In 2015, there were only 3 intelligent mining working faces in coal mines across the country. In 2019, there were 275. In 2020, the number increased to 494, an increase of 80% year-on-year; 19 types of robots, including coal mining, anchor drilling, and inspection, have been implemented on coal mine sites. application.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the structure of the national mining industry was continuously optimized, 5,464 coal mines with a production capacity of 940 million tons were phased out, and more than 19,000 metal and non-metal mines and tailings ponds were reorganized and closed.

"Although mine safety production work has achieved remarkable results in recent years, the situation is still complex and severe." Huang Yuzhi, director of the State Administration of Mine Safety Supervision, said that there are currently 32,000 non-coal mines in the country, of which small mines account for 86.4%; 300,000 tons There are more than 960 small coal mines with less than /year, and there are 1,084 coal mines that have been suspended for a long time; most of them have backward technology and equipment, low personnel quality, and poor safety management. Huang Yuzhi revealed that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, key projects such as intelligent construction of mines, elimination of backward production capacity, major disaster management, and comprehensive management of tailings ponds will be implemented, striving to further optimize the structure of the mining industry by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Significant progress has been made in modernizing the safety governance system and governance capabilities.
