Coal from Xiangshui feeds the region's Pannan Power Station, which is a key facility in the government's strategy of sending electricity from the resource-rich western region to the power-hungry industry belts in the east.

According to the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety in mid-October, 1,146 people died in 650 mining accidents in China this year. About 46.5 percent of the deaths were caused by illegal mining operations.

Authorities intended to shut down 625 small mines this year to increase mining safety.
