Smart Mining Industry Thematic study: Smart mining is the undervalued "gold Mountain"

From the perspective of income, the state maintains the stability of coal prices, and improves mining output with intelligent coal. In 2021, there was an unprecedented market for coal, and the highest spot price of coal was more than 2,500 yuan/ton, and individual contracts on the plate broke through the high of 2,000 yuan/ton. At the end of October 2021, with the continuous increase of supply and price stability, the supply increase was obvious, and the coal price returned to the rational range after the National Development and Reform Commission cracked down on hoarding in accordance with the "Price Law" and carried out cost and profit surveys. In 2022, the general trend of soaring and plunging coal prices will no longer exist, and the state will promptly implement policy intervention in the price of coal when the price fluctuates greatly to ensure that the coal price fluctuates within a reasonable price range. The intelligent transformation of coal mines can effectively improve the efficiency of coal mining and increase the income of enterprises on the basis of stable coal prices. According to McKinsey research, the full release of intelligent potential of coal companies can increase profits by 7%-12% and return on investment by 2%-3%.
