In the first half of the year, 46 mine incidents occurred in Shanxi, which resulted in 124 deaths. This number, however, was down 22 percent from the same period last year. "Overproduction has been a long-time threat to mine safety in Shanxi," said Liu Wenge, head of energy and safety division at China Coal Information Institute." http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2008-07/31/content_6893719.htm  paddy Member Username: paddy Post Number: 451 Registered: 03-2008 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Sunday, August 03, 2008 - 03:12 am:     China Rescuers Make Contact With Trapped Miners After Fatal Mine Blast ZHENGZHOU, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) - Rescuers have contacted two of the 11 miners trapped in a coal and gas outburst early Friday which has killed 14 in central China's Henan Province... http://www.redorbit.com/news/business/1505208/china_rescuers_make_contact_with_t rapped_miners_after_fatal_mine/  paddy Member Username: paddy Post Number: 852 Registered: 03-2008 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Monday, September 22, 2008 - 05:23 am:     50 dead in Chinese mining accidents From CNN BEIJING, China (AP) -- Two mine accidents in different parts of China have killed at least 50 people and left another 21 missing, state media said Sunday.

A miner walks after an accident at the Fuhua coal mine in China's Heilongjiang province on Saturday. The official Xinhua News Agency said 31 miners were killed in a gas explosion before dawn Sunday at a private mine near Dengfeng city in Henan province in central China. Rescuers were searching for nine others. Xinhua quoted a government official as saying 108 people were underground when the accident happened and that 68 escaped. A woman who answered the phone at the Dengfeng Work Safety Bureau confirmed the accident but had no other details. She refused to give her name, as is common among Chinese officials. Xinhua also reported Sunday that 19 miners were killed and 12 were still missing after a coal mine fire Saturday in Hegang city in Heilongjiang province in northeast China. It said rescue efforts were hampered by thick smoke and toxic gases in the mine shaft. Calls to local government offices Sunday in Hegang went unanswered. Xinhua said police had detained the mine's owner, manager, a vice manager in charge of production and another in charge of ventilation. China's mines are the world's deadliest, with explosions, cave-ins and floods killing nearly 3,800 people last year.
