Chilechuan Mining runs five flagship mines in Inner Mongolia covering rare earths, coking coal, thermal coal and iron concentrate. From 3D geological modelling to autonomous haulage and tailings reuse, every tonne carries a grade and a destination record.
Five main mines in Inner Mongolia · resources and grades reviewed annually
Main mining area of Baotou Steel and the largest rare-earth associated deposit in the world
Premium thermal coal, ultra-low sulphur and phosphorus
State-planned large coal base
Northwest coking coal distribution hub
2,400 MW of co-located mine-mouth power
From exploration to metal recovery — a four-stage closed loop
3D seismic plus drilling verification, with resources reviewed to JORC standards
Resource reliability 92%Five open-pit mines with 38 × 220 t electric-drive haul trucks in autonomous platoons
462,000 t stripping a dayThree lines — dense medium, flotation and magnetic separation — with a 78.6% rare earth recovery rate
Concentrate grade 62.4%Combined pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical process, with waste-heat power generation and tailings utilisation
Metal recovery 94.1%Long-term customers first · spot listings sync to the group OA procurement platform

All five mines are on the national green mine list. Pits are water-sprayed for dust suppression, haul roads are paved and the processing plant discharges no wastewater; tailings are re-processed for backfill and building materials, giving an 86.4% utilisation rate. On safety we run the two-permit three-system regime plus a dual checklist for hazard inspection, risk work permits share the same source as group OA approvals, and pre-shift meeting records are archived automatically.
