In Guizhou, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and other 11 provinces，we carried out harmonious mining community construction in different levels, having made many progress: First, one pilot periodic task was building harmonious mining community in Inner Mongolia, where we established the benefit distribution mechanism by making immigrant relocation compensation and the mining area ecological restoration compensation system as the core, local government and residents taking the stake in mining enterprises as the supplement. Second, harmonious mining community constructions were explored by adjusting measures to local condition in some regions. Since 2007, in Guizhou and Qinghai, local government, mine enterprises and mining area residents benefited sharing. We adjusted the structure of fiscal expenditure and income distribution, strengthened social responsibility in mine enterprises, taking various measures to increase residents` income.

Third, China Mining Association and other coal associations of mining industry organized many enterprises to improve the construction of harmonious mining community.
