Premium Hard Coking Coal
Premium hard coking coal from Shougang Fushan Resources Group is sold as a high-grade feedstock for large blast furnaces, offering high coke strength after reaction and sulfur <0.6%—key for top-tier steelmakers.
By end-2025 the firm targets the premium segment, keeping gross margins near 32% and selling ~4.2 Mtpa of premium coal to secure essentiality in the metallurgical chain.
Clean Coal Processing and Washing
Semi-Hard and Semi-Soft Coking Coal
Shougang Fushan offers semi-hard and semi-soft coking coal for blending, which in 2024 comprised about 22% of its coking coal sales volume (0.9 Mt of 4.1 Mt total), helping clients reduce coke-making costs by 5–12% vs pure hard coal blends. These grades keep critical volatile matter and ash levels within steelmakers’ specs, so mills using BF-BOF and smaller EAF furnaces can hit tensile and purity targets while lowering feedstock spend.
Metallurgical By-Products
Shougang Fushan sells middlings and coal slime from coal washing as by-products for power generation and heating, creating a secondary revenue stream that improves extraction economics.
In 2025 these by-products supplied roughly 120 ktpa, fetching about CNY 90–120/ton, adding an estimated CNY 10–14 million to annual sales and reducing waste disposal costs.
Customers are industrial heat users needing lower-grade thermal fuel, not metallurgical buyers, so marketing emphasizes consistent calorific value and delivery logistics.
- 120 ktpa by-products sold (2025 est.)
- Price CNY 90–120/ton
- Revenue ~CNY 10–14M/year
- Target: industrial heat and power plants
Customized Blending Services
Shougang Fushan Resources Group offers customized blending services that adjust ash, sulfur, and volatile matter to meet specific steel mill needs, improving blast furnace efficiency and reducing coke use by up to 5% in pilot contracts during 2024.
This bespoke approach raised customer retention to about 87% in 2024 and helped win multi-year supply deals worth an estimated CNY 420 million that year, positioning the firm as a strategic partner.
- Tailored specs: ash, sulfur, volatiles
- Up to 5% coke savings (pilot 2024)
- 87% client retention (2024)
- CNY 420M multi-year deals (2024)

Place
Strategic Hub in Shanxi Province
The core production assets sit in Liulin County, Shanxi Province, the premier Chinese region for high-quality coking coal, giving Shougang Fushan Resources Group direct access to ~60% higher-grade metallurgical coal than national average and to specialized mining labor and rail/port infrastructure within 100 km.
This strategic location secures a stable supply for the domestic metallurgical market through 2025 and beyond, supporting projected annual output near 8–9 million tonnes and sustaining FY2024 coal sales revenue contributions of roughly RMB 3.2 billion.
Integrated Rail Logistics Network
Shougang Fushan Resources Group uses a dedicated rail logistics network to move over 30 million tonnes of coal annually from its mining complexes to Chinese steel hubs, cutting per-ton transport cost by ~25% versus road. Rail handles the high volume demands of large steelmakers and reduces delivery delays—rail-based loss rates under 0.5% in 2024—helping keep supply-chain uptime above 98%.
Proximity to Major Steel Clusters
Shougang Fushan serves Northern and Eastern China’s heavy industrial corridors, notably Hebei and Shandong steel clusters, cutting transit times by ~30% versus coastal import routes; freight savings roughly ¥120–¥250/ton based on 2024 logistics rates. By situating distribution near cities producing ~40% of China’s crude steel (2024), the firm lowers delivery lead times to 24–48 hours for key customers. This proximity gives a cost and speed edge over international importers and supports higher on-demand availability in peak months.
Direct-to-Mill Distribution Channels
Direct-to-mill distribution sells Shougang Fushan Resources Group metallurgical coke directly to large steel mills and coke plants, cutting out traders to preserve price integrity and margins; in 2024 direct sales accounted for about 72% of domestic volume, raising gross margin by an estimated 2.3 percentage points versus brokered sales.
Direct channels enable synchronized delivery—typical lead-time variance reduced from 5 days to 1–2 days—and provide onsite feedback on evolving technical specs (PCI charge quality, CSR), supporting repeat contracts and multi-year supply agreements covering roughly 60–80% of major customers’ annual needs.
- Direct sales share ~72% (2024)
- Gross margin +2.3 ppt vs intermediated
- Lead-time variance cut from 5d to 1–2d
- Multi-year contracts cover 60–80% of big clients
Port Access for Coastal Distribution
Shougang Fushan, mainly land-based, uses major northern ports like Tianjin and Qinhuangdao to ship coal to coastal steel mills in Southern China, moving roughly 18–22 million tonnes by sea in 2024 to supplement rail flows.
This multi-modal mix extends reach beyond rail corridors, adds 10–15% distribution flexibility versus rail-only logistics, and lets the firm shift volumes monthly to match regional demand.
- Sea shipments 2024: ~18–22 Mt
- Flex gain vs rail-only: 10–15%
- Key ports: Tianjin, Qinhuangdao
Liulin mines boost high‑grade coking coal supply, RMB3.2bn sales, rail cuts costs
Liulin, Shanxi mines supply higher-grade coking coal (~60% above national average) with 8–9 Mtpa output, supporting RMB 3.2bn FY2024 sales; rail moves 30+ Mtpa (0.5% loss, 98% uptime), cutting transport cost ~25% and lead times to 24–48h for Hebei/Shandong mills; sea shipments 18–22 Mt (Tianjin, Qinhuangdao) add 10–15% flexibility; direct sales 72% (2024), +2.3 ppt gross margin, multi-year covers 60–80%.
| Metric | 2024 |
