Coal-Bearing Regions and Structural Sedimentary Basins of China and Adjacent Seas: Major coal mine locations

The purpose of this dataset is to give geologists and other scientists a spatial database of major coal mines and their production in China. This data set will be utilized in energy research and cartographic projects. This dataset is a collection of major coal mine production located in The Peoples Republic of China. Included in this dataset are the locations of major coal mines and the approximate annual amount of coal mined annually in millions of metric tons. Procedures_Used: The major coal mine production points were digitized from the Coalfield Prediction Map of China, utilizing ARC/INFO.
