Xinjiang's Shitoumei No. 1 Open-Pit Coal Mine has become a model for intelligent and green mining through a 185 million yuan ($25.67 million) investment in smart technologies, including full 5G coverage and integration of six major systems such as intelligent drilling, mine design, and unmanned operations. Located in Hami’s Santanghu mining area and developed in collaboration with China Mobile, the mine currently operates 91 autonomous trucks and aims for full driverless deployment by 2026, potentially removing 1,500 drivers from hazardous work. With proven reserves of 3.575 billion tons and an annual production capacity of 35 million tons, it supplies high-quality coal to nearby power plants and ships the remainder to provinces including Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
