Shougang Mining Company was founded in 1959. Over the past 60 years, the company has conquered a mountain peak with the spirit of modern Yugong, and achieved a leap. From the late 1950s, when people rode donkeys to look for ore to the 1960s and 1970s, when Dashihe Iron Mine and Shuichang Iron Mine were put into production and reached design capacity, Shougang self-owned mine was built through hard work; and from the quality “gold mine” and the magnetic agglomeration which won the first prize of national science and technology progress in the 1980s to “four major projects” completed at high speed in the early 1990s, the company has realized the rapid development of the industry's leading and production scale;. From the late 1990s, the non-mining industry developed outward to the new century to tap potential and overproduction to serve the overall situation, which achieved sustainable development. This section of history is the development and inheritance of Shougang spirit in the mine, which has formed the mine tradition of “hard struggle, strict management, self-improvement and serving the overall situation”.

Standing at a new starting point in the new era, the mining company takes the national strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Integrated Development as the opportunity, adapts to the Shougang Group’s strategic layout, and management and control system reform, and follows the principle of “refining and strengthening the mineral industry, deepening and specializing related industries, separating and invigorating public welfare undertakings and developing and cultivating industries for comprehensive utilization of resources” to continuously deepen reform, give full play to the role of ensuring mineral resources, and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of development, which embarks on a new journey to build a large metallurgical mining enterprise with strong competitiveness in the new era..

Refine and strengthen the main business of mineral products

The company promotes the construction of digital mines and forms a unique digital mine system of “four levels and four modules”, achieving a historic breakthrough in the metallurgical mining industry of China. The company built Shougang’s first underground mining mine, namely the Xingshan Iron Mine, and carried out the “research and practice on the construction of large digital underground metal mines with high efficiency of open-pit underground transfer” project, awarded the Second Prize of National Science and Technology Progress. Thus the company has won the “China’s Top Ten Mining Enterprises,” “China’s Most Innovative Enterprises”, “Capital Civilized Unit Model” and other honorary titles successively.

In the face of the new normal, the company enhances its new ability by actively adapting to the new normal of environmental protection, producing concentrate powder stably and serving iron and steel with zero effect. The company enters top five mining enterprises with manufacturing cost of concentrate powder above scale. The physical labor rate enters top three in the industry.

Form the industrialization development pattern of comprehensive utilization of resources

For many years, the mining company has followed the principle of energy saving, emission reduction and recycling economy, building “green mines”, developing comprehensive utilization and strengthening resource recovery. By dry separation at the earth-disposing site, tailings re-separation and other resources recovery, the company finds new ways for sustainable development with the mining company awarded the “first green mining pilot units” and “demonstration base of mineral resources comprehensive utilization.”

In recent years, taking the new opportunity of building raw material market brought by the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Integrated Development, the company gives full play to its own resource endowment advantages, establishes a new strategy to develop and cultivate the industry of resource reuse, and builds a demonstration base for the comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and new steps have been taken on the road of promoting sustainable development with the green concept.

Relevant industries are booming

With creating “Shougang mine” brand as the goal, the company gradually developes fine equipment manufacturing, electric power repair, equipment maintenance, engineering construction, technical services and other business, so as to create a comprehensive service base, make the industrial structure more reasonable and gradually enhance the market comprehensive competitiveness with related industries become booster of efficient development of the mining company. Nowadays, automation and information products are involved in metallurgy, coal and non-ferrous industry, serving Angang, Hegang, Magang, Taiyuan Iron and Steel, Shenhua, Huaneng and other large enterprises, and successfully enter Zambia, India, Brazil and other international markets. The footprint of mine engineering service industry has spread all over the country, and a large number of famous and excellent quality projects with high technical requirements and construction difficulties have been awarded by the Beijing Quality Association for seven consecutive years as “quality-oriented and trustworthy” enterprise.
