——Shanxi coal supply guarantee will not be significantly affected

　　Since the heavy rainfall on October 2, part of the production coal mines in the six municipal areas of Shanxi Taiyuan, Jinzhong, Changzhi, Jincheng, Linfen, and Yuncheng have been affected by the heavy rainfall and have taken temporary emergency stop production and withdrawal measures.

　　At the press conference on the 12th, Shanxi Province stated that up to now, except for 4 coal mines that are still in a state of suspension, other coal mines have resumed production.

Among the 4 coal mines still in production, 3 mines in Linfen City have a total production capacity of 3.6 million tons/year. Due to the large downhole water influx, production will resume soon after the hidden dangers are eliminated. One mine in Taiyuan City has a production capacity of 1.2 million tons/year. In 2015, production was suspended due to a landslide blocking the coal transportation road, and production can be resumed after the coal transportation road is unblocked.

　　On the whole, although the heavy rainfall caused some coal mines to temporarily stop production, the shutdown time was very short and would not have a significant impact on Shanxi's coal supply.
