Ansteel Gongchangling's iron ore mining capacity hits 12.5Mt

The mining license for the deep mining project at Ansteel Mining's Gongchangling Underground Mine was approved recently, boosting its iron ore mining capacity to 12,500,000tpy, a significant leap forward.

The mine, which began large-scale operations in 1921, will see its newly approved project involve both lateral expansion and deep extension, deepening the mining level from -460 meters to -860 meters. This marks a major resource continuation and capacity expansion project.
