Leveraging on the stable coal market and price, profitability of leading coal enterprises has been on an upward track. Looking forward to 2019, the Group expects that coal production, sales and trading business will grow steadily. The Group will also take proactive measures to cater for changes in new market regulations, strictly adhere to controlling production cost, follow the operating strategy of low-cost production while fully capitalizing on its stable cash flow and strong profitability thanks to its high-standard and high-quality product competitive edge, aiming to seize development opportunities, creating the highest value for shareholders."
