Fenwei picked 363 coal mines of 138 coal enterprises as monitoring sites in Shanxi, Shandong,Inner Mongolia,Shaanxi,Hebei and so on, with total production capacity at 678 Mtpa to monitor and record their production, sales and stocks. In-depth communication with their production and sales staff allow us to create regular reports on prices, operating rate, stocks, and production and logistics costs of each sample mine. We thus can make quantitative research on the production, sales and stocks of domestic met coal companies.

We decide the number of sample mines in each province based on its production. Priority is given to private mines with higher degree of marketization, supplemented by state-owned or local mines. Due attention is also paid to the type of met coal produced in deciding the number of coal mines. Mines of same capacity and ownership will be chosen to substitute those mines that need undergo bankruptcy and regrouping. In this case, subscribers will be informed timely.

We added sample coking coal mines to 227 under 88 companies in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui and Guizhou, with total capacity at 475 Mtpa and accounting for 38.51% of the total coking coal capacity in China and 44.52% in main production areas.
