<h1>State coal firm restarts two closed mines under 25-year MDO revenue-sharing contracts to cut costs and boost output</h1> A state-run coal company has operationalised two previously closed mines under a Mine Developer and Operator (MDO) revenue-sharing model, marking part of a restructuring that amalgamised multiple loss-making mines and offered them to private operators. One open-cast project (13.73 million tonnes extractable, 0.76 Mtpa PRC) commenced production under a 25-year MDO contract with a 4.59% revenue share to the company; one underground project (16.70 million tonnes, 1 Mtpa PRC) began under a 25-year contract with an 8% revenue share. The initiative aims to reduce costs and improve output and financial performance.
