en.Wedoany.com Reported - In April 2026, the expansion and upgrade project of the mining and processing system at Inner Mongolia Shuangli Mining's Huogeqi No. 2 Iron Mine was completed and began trial production. The project's annual ore processing capacity has been increased to 3.4 million tons. Upon reaching full capacity, it will produce 870,000 tons of iron concentrate, 9,580 tons of copper concentrate, 5,432 tons of lead concentrate, and 2,052 tons of zinc concentrate annually, aiding Western Mining Group in optimizing its industrial layout in western Inner Mongolia.
The project adopts a combined development method using a shaft and a ramp, integrating a "four-stage, two-closed-circuit crushing + ball milling" scheme. It incorporates internationally leading equipment to build an intelligent mining and processing system, realizing the transition from open-pit to underground mining. During construction, technical challenges such as construction in plateau extreme climates, precise assembly of underground equipment, and integration of intelligent systems were overcome, completing the leap from blueprint to reality.
As an enterprise under Western Mining Group, Shuangli Mining's project is a key initiative implementing the national green and low-carbon strategy. Si Qingaowa, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Urad Rear Banner People's Congress, stated that the project will promote high-quality development of the local industrial economy, and the Banner government will continue to optimize the business environment to support enterprise development.
Zhou Huarong, Chief Engineer of Western Mining Group, emphasized that the company will deepen the coordination between resource development and ecological protection, promote the project to achieve full capacity and meet standards as soon as possible, and build it into a model project for the transition from open-pit to underground mining in western Inner Mongolia and a benchmark for green and intelligent upgrading in the mining industry. Li Mingshan, Executive Director of Shuangli Mining, stated that the company will leverage its advantages in production capacity, technology, and environmental sustainability to enhance its core competitiveness.
