UPDATE: Stricter safety checks re-suspend coking coal mines in Shanxi

In Shanxi, China's top coal-producing province, some coking coal mines suspended operations again on June 11 after only a few days of resumption, underscoring the uneven pace of coal supply recovery as Beijing's recent crackdown on illegal mining activities continued to reverberate through the sector, Mysteel learned.

Mysteel's latest survey showed that the number of restarted coking coal mines in the province declined to 77 as of Thursday morning, down from 81 mines one day before. The province's total coking coal production capacities resumed by the same day fell by 6.85 million tonnes/year to 90.45 million
