The three major coal mining giants in the world are Shenhua Group, Archie Coal Company and Indian Coal Company.

According to Zhong Yi Finance Network, the world's three major coal mining giants are:

1. Shenhua Group: the global coal overlord. Shenhua ranks first in the coal industry list with its high total assets, operating income and return on assets. By the end of 20 16, the total assets of Shenhua Group were14,095.7 billion US dollars, far higher than the average level of 24.299 billion US dollars in the same industry, and nearly 80 billion US dollars ahead of Shaanxi Coal Chemical Group, which has unshakable advantages in scale and dimension. The return on assets of Shenhua 20 16 is 4.32%, which is much higher than that of the same industry 1%. 20 17 Shenhua and Guodian group merged to form the national energy group, which realized a closer combination of coal and power industries. In the next ranking of global competitiveness of energy enterprises, the ranking will change accordingly.

2. Archie Coal Company: the second largest coal producer in the United States, once went bankrupt. Archie Coal Company is the second largest coal producer in the United States, and its coal supply accounts for 14% of the United States. 20 1 1 Archie Coal spent $3.4 billion to acquire competitor International Coal Mining Group. At that time, the coal price was as high as $330/ton, and then the coal price fell all the way. In 20 16, the coal price fell to $44.33/ton, and Archie coal fell into a debt vortex. On 20 16 65438+ 10/01day, Aceh coal company with total liabilities of 6.5 billion dollars filed for bankruptcy and started "debt-to-equity swap". In June 5438+10 of the same year, Archie Coal completed the final stage of restructuring and walked out of bankruptcy. The fundamental problem of Aceh Coal Company's bankruptcy is that the enterprise has too much debt, but many mines they hold can still be profitable. Bankruptcy only declares that the enterprise structure is dead, not to say that the mine can't live any longer.

3. Indian Coal Company. CoalIndiaLimited (CIL) is a state-owned coal mining company in India. The Indian government owns 90% of the company's shares and controls its commercial activities through the Indian Ministry of Coal. The company provides 865,438+0% of India's coal production. India Coal Co., Ltd. is the largest coal production company in the world, with an annual output of about 500 million tons. In the fiscal year of 20 17- 18, the output target of Indian coal company is 660 million tons, and it is planned to realize the annual output of 10 billion tons by 2020.

Coal mines are areas where human beings exploit coal resources in rich coal mining areas, which are generally divided into underground coal mines and open-pit coal mines. When the coal seam is far away from the surface, it is generally chosen to dig tunnels underground for coal mining, which is an underground coal mine. When the coal seam is close to the surface, it is generally chosen to directly peel off the topsoil to dig coal. This is an open-pit coal mine. Most coal mines in China belong to underground coal mines.
