The complex has meticulously conducted the operation and guidance to make sure that coal prospecting corps and coal mines push ahead with the existing production and long-term production without any deviation by prioritizing prospecting and tunneling while maintaining and reinforcing the equipment and introducing modern means and methods on a wide scale.
