1.2 million mt coke production facility to be built in Yunnan, China

The local government of Luoping County in China's Yunnan Province has signed a contract with Heilongjiang Province-based Chinese company Hegang Mineral Bureau Diversified Corporation for the construction of a metallurgical coke production facility which will have an annual output capacity of 1.2 million mt - as reported by local newspaper Yunnan Information Daily. A total of RMB 800 million ($123 million) is expected to be invested in the project.
 
During China's 11th five-year plan period (2006-10), Luoping County eliminated a total of seven outdated coke production lines. After much effort, the local government finally succeeded in attracting Hegang Mineral Bureau Diversified Corporation with a view to constructing a new coke project.
