Recently, from the Liaoning Provincial Department of Natural Resources, there is exciting news that Anshan Iron and Steel Mining Qidashan Iron Mine has obtained the open-pit mining expansion license, marking the company's firm service to the national strategy, accelerating the implementation of the "cornerstone plan" project, and enhancing the supply guarantee capacity of iron ore resources, which is a milestone in the history of mining development.
As the largest iron ore production base of Anshan Iron and Steel Mining, Qidashan Iron Mine is a large-scale modern metallurgical mining enterprise integrating mining and mineral processing, with a hundred years of mining history, and the high-quality iron ore produced continuously and stably ensures the production of Anshan Iron and Steel Group. In recent years, with the increasing mining depth, the current mine phase I plane expansion mining area is -100 meters of ore grade and poor selectivity, resulting in a sharp shrinkage of production capacity and even shutdown, seriously affecting the sustainable development in the future. Based on the long-term, grasping the present and focusing on the overall situation, Anshan Iron and Steel Mining Co., Ltd. launched the preparation for the second phase of the open-pit mining expansion project of Qi Mine in October last year, extending the minimum mining elevation from -270 meters to -450 meters, and increasing the design mining scale from the original 18 million tons/year to 23 million tons/year, further optimizing the mining realm, improving the selection of high-quality iron ore, and rejuvenating this century-old mine and moving towards a new journey of a world-class enterprise.
It is understood that the handling of mining licenses is a complex and arduous work, and the leaders of Anshan Iron and Steel Group attach great importance to it, personally plan and deploy, and closely communicate and coordinate with relevant competent departments such as Liaoning Province and Anshan City to get through the blocking points and difficulties. The Liaoning Provincial Department of Natural Resources and Anshan City fully supported the implementation of the "parallel approval + tolerance acceptance" model to solve all kinds of problems encountered in the process of project handling in the first time and ensure the smooth progress of the processing of requirements. Anshan Iron and Steel Mining carries forward the spirit of nailing, implements list-based management, wall chart operations, keeps an eye on key links and nodes, follows up step by step, overcomes difficulties, and finally obtains an open-pit mining expansion license.
After the open-pit mining expansion project of Qidashan Iron Mine is put into operation, it will effectively improve the production capacity of Anshan Iron and Steel Mine, ensure the strategic continuity of iron ore resources, help accelerate the construction of a world-class scale and world-class resource development enterprise, strengthen and expand the resource industry, and make new contributions to promoting the high-quality development of New Anshan Iron and Steel and improving the resilience and safety of the supply chain of the mainland steel industry chain.
