About the Mining and Mine-Safety Industries in China

There are over 280,000 mining enterprises in China of which 80,000 are state-owned.  Mine-safety has been a major issue in the Chinese mining industry.  More than 6,000 miners died in accidents in China last year; independent estimates say the real figure could be as high as 20,000.  In February 2005, the Chinese State Administration of Work Safety mandated US$6.3 billion to be spent over the next three years to improve mine-safety at all state-owned mines.
