Non-coal mine law enforcement cases expose typical illegal issues, strictly investigate safety hazards and violations in operations Take a quick look at the penalty details in Inner Mongolia and other places, warning companies to immediately make corrections and standardize production
On June 29, the State Mine Safety Administration announced the second batch of four typical enforcement cases in 2026, involving violations and irregularities in noncoal mines in places such as Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Liaoning, and Yunnan.
The notice showed that the relevant enterprises had issues such as failing to leave ore pillars as designed, not taking necessary safety measures during the shutdown of main ventilation fans, not fully equipping complex mines with water detection and exploration equipment, team members not carrying gas detection and alarm instruments, illegal mining and sand extraction from tailings ponds, and putting into use dumpsite safety facility designs that had not been approved. They were all required to make rectifications within a deadline, stop operations, or suspend production/business, and were given economic penalties in accordance with the law.
The State Mine Safety Administration said that this batch of cases is intended to strengthen supervision of work safety enforcement, promote mine enterprises to fulfill their primary responsibility, and remind the industry to attach importance to legal obligations such as risk identification, hazard remediation, and the "three simultaneities" of safety facilities.
