Within the mine area there are many faults and folds.

*Wrap

In Nga Hai mine area, there are 2 anticlines and 3 main depressions. All are incomplete folds.

- Northern block anticline: Distributed in the Northeast of the mining area. Southeast axis

- Northwest. The axis is slightly inclined to the north (80 o ), the two wings of the anticline are slightly sloping and asymmetrical, the angle of the north wing is from 15 o 20 o , the angle of the south wing is from 25 o 30 o . The anticline axis is discontinuous, cut and displaced by the faults FH, FM, F.4, the axis length is about 2000 2500m.

- Central anticline: This is a large anticline, distributed along the Central block. The axis has a Southeast - Northwest direction, the axis surface is slightly inclined to the North, the two wings are not symmetrical, the slope angle of the North wing is from 15 o 20 o , the slope angle of the South wing is from 20 o 25 o .

The axis has an unstable West - East direction, not continuous, being cut diagonally by the F.11 fault, the length of the axis is up to 4000m. The axis surface is slightly inclined to the North (80 o ). The two wings are not symmetrical, the slope angle of the North wing is 40 45 o, the slope angle of the South wing is 30 o 35 o .

In addition to the main anticlines and depressions in the Nga Hai mine area, there are many high-order anticlines and depressions with diverse fold axis directions, creating a very complex mine structure.

*Fault:

The fault development in Nga Hai mine is very complex.

b) Construction preparation works

When the project to maintain and expand the open-pit mining of Nga Hai mine comes into operation, no new construction items will be built but will be used together with the existing construction items listed above and 02 additional small-scale mobile transformer stations will be invested to serve the electricity supply.

c) Current exploitation status

Currently, Quang Hanh Coal Company Limited is mining underground from level -50 ÷ LV and partly open pit with total output 1.3 million tons per year. The life of underground mine from level -50 ÷ LV will end in 2015, so the mine is currently digging tunnels to clear the level below -50 according to the Investment project for underground mining to depth below -50. The project is also mining open pit coal in areas A6 and A9.

d) Mine capacity and life

Coal mining output is 200,000 250,000 tons/year corresponding to the volume of stripped soil of about 2 2.6 million m3 /year.

The open-pit mining life of an open-pit mine is 6 years.

e) Borders and exploitable reserves

Choosing the open pit mining option: Open pit mining outside the influence of underground works operating below or with little influence

First, less coal can be mined but it ensures safety for underground mining.

+ Open pit mining mobilized reserves: 847,633 tons.

+ Industrial coal reserves: 1,066,524 tons.

Industrial coal reserves (raw) are determined based on geological coal reserves minus coal losses during mining and transportation and plus dirt and rock mixed into the coal during mining.

Coal loss and the degree of soil and rock contamination in coal during mining depend on the production conditions and structure of the coal seam, the equipment and the applied mining technology diagram. Therefore, the industrial coal reserves in open-pit mining are larger than the mobilized geological coal reserves. Specifically, in the Quang Hanh open-pit mining expansion project, the industrial coal reserves are 218,861 tons larger than the mobilized geological coal reserves.
