Formerly Datong Coal Mining Administration, it was established in 1949. In 2000, Datong Coal Mining Administration was reconstructed as Datong Coal Mine Group Company Limited.[2]

Its subsidiary company, Datong Coal Industry, was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2006.[3]

In an effort to reduce overcapacity production, improve recycling of resources and achieve green development, the company began developing a circular economy approach in Datong.[4] To that end, it sought to expand its business activities into other industries in order to obtain a degree of diversification and to utilize byproducts of its coal production, such as thermal power plants.[5]
