THE work safety watchdog in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has shut down 205 mines and ordered 136 others to suspend operations in a six-month campaign to boost safety supervision in the resource-rich region, authorities reported yesterday.
"Illegal operations have prominently existed in Inner Mongolia's mining sector, excluding coal mines, for years," said a statement issued by the regional government's work safety bureau. "The campaign has ensured safe mining and protected lives."
The authorities did not give a breakdown of the mines forced into closure. Inner Mongolia has rich reserves of iron ore and rare earths.
Though no specific illegalities were mentioned, mines in China are commonly shut down for failing to obtain mining licenses or ignoring safety rules.
