This surface mine produces 12 tons of medium grade and 6 tons of medium-hard grade coal per day, and the deep mine produces 4 tons of medium grade and 8 tons of medium-hard grade coal every day. The company has a contract to deliver at least 600 tons of medium grade and 480 tons of medium-hard grade coal within 60 days.
