The State Council Work Safety Commission office has deployed efforts to carry out investigations, sealing off, and rectification of abandoned mines, as well as cracking down severely on illegal mining activities.

Recently, the State Council's Safety Commission Office has deployed nationwide efforts to investigate, seal off, and rectify abandoned mines, as well as crack down on illegal mining activities. Since the beginning of this year, there have been several incidents of illegal mining resulting in casualties, directly threatening the lives and property of the people. These illegal activities not only damage the country's strategic resources and lead to inefficient waste, but also disrupt the normal market order of mineral products through illegal trading channels, increasing operational costs and supply chain risks for businesses along the industrial chain. The State Council's Safety Commission Office recently issued a notice on solidly carrying out the investigation, sealing off, and rectification of abandoned mines, as well as cracking down on illegal mining activities. The Office will organize the Ministry of Public Security and other departments to carry out rectification work nationwide, urging all regions and relevant departments to clarify the responsibilities for investigating, sealing off, and rectifying abandoned mines, comprehensively survey the situation of abandoned mines, strictly implement sealing and rectification measures, establish a sound system of coordinated supervision and long-term mechanisms for combating violations, and create a working framework with deterrence at the grassroots level, control online, and effective management at specific points.
