Our corporation is encouraging the voluntary closure of non-economical mines and a cut of their production. We are providing the money to support closed mines whose mining rights expire so as to not only stabilize the lives of jobless miners, but also minimize the social problems stemming from the closure of mines.

| Mine proprietors | Money for supporting the relocation and closure of mining facilities | 10,000 won per coal tonnage (8,000 won per tonnage for 300,000 tons or more of coal) |
