Shizishan Copper Mine, the predecessor of Dongguashan Copper Mine, is a "newborn" born shortly after the founding of New China. It sucks the nutrients of the motherland and is bathed in the rain and sunshine of the party. It has grown into an enterprise with a history of Jiazi. It carries the glory and dreams of several generations of miners. After the sweat, hard work and wisdom of several generations of miners, it shows the charm of a modern mining and mining joint mine in front of the world. Its brilliant achievements are deeply imprinted on the monument of China's copper industry.

Glory years billow

Mei Yaochen, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, left a poem about the mining scene of Tongling at that time: "the green hills are chiseled endlessly, the green hills are chiseled endlessly, and the ghosts and gods are worried. A true portrayal of the ancient Tongling mining scene. After the founding of New China, the ancient copper capital was full of vitality. The party and the state attach great importance to mining development. The construction project of Shizishan copper mine, the predecessor of Dongguashan copper mine, was developed under the care of the party and the state, and was listed in the first five-year plan of new China by the State Council. On April 22, 1958, Shizishan Copper Mine was formally established. In May of the same year, the first shot of mine construction was fired in the 50-meter adit of Shizishan West. It was put into operation on July 1, 1966.

In the years to come, the employees of Shizishan Copper Mine cut through obstacles and fought against heaven and earth. Under the circumstances of poor equipment and economic difficulties, from 1958 to 2009, through the efforts of several generations of miners, hard work and selfless dedication, the mine has developed steadily from small to large, from weak to strong. Mine production has achieved six takeoffs. The first take-off started from the beginning of the mine construction, with production and infrastructure construction at the same time, and a production scale of 50 tons/day was built. The second take-off was from the production of the mine to the production standard, and the production reached the level of 1000 tons/day while designing, constructing and exploring. The third take-off was the expansion of Laoyaling Project in 1978, which filled up the production facilities in the old area, it is matched with the east and west lion mountain, and the production capacity has increased significantly, reaching the production level of 2000 tons/day. The fourth take-off was the development of the Datuanshan project in 1995, which increased investment in infrastructure construction, transformed the upgrading, transportation system and mineral processing process, and formed a new production capacity, reaching a mining and dressing capacity of 2600 tons/day; the fifth take-off was after Shizishan Copper Mine was renamed Dongguashan Copper Mine in May 2004. The mine entered a new stage of rapid development. The daily mining and dressing production scale has grown from 50 tons in the initial stage of mine construction to more than 13000 tons now, which is 260 times the original. What is more proud is that the sixth take-off, Dongguashan project has undergone ten years of unremitting efforts since its production, in 2015, the mine production reached the standard and achieved a qualitative leap.

By the end of 2018, the mine had produced 599000 tons of copper, 4.438 million tons of sulfur concentrate (35%), 6.4756 million tons of high sulfur iron, 13442.74kg of gold and 331200kg of silver for the country, making positive contributions to the revitalization and development of China's copper industry. The mine has successively won many honorary titles such as the national advanced unit of spiritual civilization construction, the national green mine unit, the national first-class enterprise of safety production standardization, and the advanced grass-roots party organization and civilized unit of Anhui Province.

The vicissitudes of life and great changes

The construction and development process of Dongguashan Copper Mine is a history of entrepreneurship and development that condenses the sweat, hard work and wisdom of several generations of miners. It is also a history of recording and witnessing the dazzling achievements of China's copper industry. The Dongguashan project was reported to the then State Planning Commission for approval in December 1997, with a planned investment of 1.674 billion yuan and a mine service life of 28 years. Dongguashan project is a deep ore deposit in Shizishan mining area, buried in the negative 690 meters to negative 1007 meters, inclined horizontal ore body, which was the deepest non-ferrous mine in the country and even in Asia at that time. The mine has total proven geological reserves of 102.18 million tons and copper metal reserves of 1.0468 million tons. In addition, it is accompanied by iron, gold, silver, etc., and the entire copper metal reserves account for 40% of Anhui Province, making it the main mine of my country's main copper production base. The products of Dongguashan Copper Mine are mainly copper concentrate, sulfur concentrate and iron concentrate. The Dongguashan Project is not only listed as a national key project in the Ninth five-year Plan, but also the "861-year Plan" project in Anhui Province and Tongling City, as a landmark project for building a well-off society in an all-round way in Anhui Province, but also the top priority for the follow-up development of Tongling Nonferrous Metals Company.

Since its establishment in 1986, it has been under the care and attention of leaders at all levels and all sectors of society. Its construction spans two centuries, from the discovery of ore bodies to the provision of geological reports; from the application for project approval to the State Council; from self-financing to financing of listed companies; from early development to large-scale infrastructure construction, it has poured the efforts of several generations of Tongling Nonferrous Metals. After seven years of hard work, Dongguashan Project was put into heavy load test run on October 2, 2004. From 2004 till now, several leading groups of Dongguashan Copper Mine have led the whole mine staff to work together and fight together in the spirit of seeking truth, pragmatism and hard work, focusing on improving Dongguashan system engineering, aiming at achieving the mine's production standard, overcoming many difficulties such as overlapping production infrastructure and difficulty in replacing production in old areas. The mine output has increased year by year, from 5860 tons in 2004 to 34000 tons in 2016, an increase of 5.8 times, mine production and operation not only achieved a breakthrough in quantity, but also achieved a qualitative leap. The production and operation of the enterprise has achieved sustained and rapid growth, the economic strength, technical strength and equipment strength of the enterprise have been comprehensively improved, and a modern mine style has been perfectly displayed; at the same time, with the continuous strengthening of the construction of material and spiritual civilization, the reputation of the enterprise has been continuously improved, the social popularity has been continuously expanded, and the brand value of "Dongguashan" has risen sharply, showing a vivid scene of harmonious development between people and enterprises.

The 61 years of ups and downs in the mine are 61 years of difficulties and twists, climbing uphill, and forging ahead. At the same time, it is 61 years of continuous brilliant achievements in carrying forward the past and opening up the future, innovation and development.

In recent years, in the face of new technology, new equipment, new materials and new development trends, the mine has deeply realized that the past management is difficult to adapt to the development of modern mining industry. It is necessary to strengthen management and promote the "metabolism" of the management system ". The mine to find the entry point of enterprise management, and constantly promote enterprise reform and innovation, with the times. Mines actively promote the reform of the labor system, the implementation of internal contract assessment, improve labor efficiency. In the group company took the lead in reforming the salary system, and established a set of post performance salary system based on employees' post ability and work performance. In the implementation of enterprise standardization work, the enterprise standardization system is regularly evaluated and improved every year, and every link of the implementation of enterprise standards is "refined, operable, and closed-loop". In the construction of enterprise informatization, the group company took the lead in implementing the "trinity" linkage management of fingerprint attendance, location card and safe answer questions for downhole personnel, and opened up the enterprise attendance system and WeChat terminal, linking the attendance system to each employee in a more "grounded" way of WeChat. Employees can query the records of attendance at work and downhole in real time through WeChat, and even query the monthly salary through WeChat, for the majority of employees to provide great convenient service.

At the same time, in recent years, the mine has further promoted the excellent performance management mode and carried out 5S management, benchmarking management and TPM management. Vigorously build digital mines, realize OA office automation, fully introduce international advanced ERP systems, and successively build fingerprint attendance system, underground leakage communication system, TV monitoring system for main workplaces, underground locomotive dispatching microcomputer control system, multi-level remote centralized control system, etc., and have achieved remarkable results, improving the management level of enterprises and promoting the sustainable development of mines. Since 2008, the mine has been continuously rated as a national 4A "standardized good behavior enterprise".

Over the years, in the process of accelerating the development of the mine, the mine has insisted on scientific and technological innovation to help production, and gradually established a scientific research system with enterprise technological innovation as the main body, "production, education and research" as the main form, and focusing on solving mining problems. The joint research and development platform and achievement transformation incubator of new equipment, new technology and new technology have been formed, and a batch of scientific and technological achievements have been transformed into production, It has become a powerful driving force for the leapfrog development of the whole mine. A number of scientific research achievements have won national, provincial and ministerial level and company scientific research achievement awards, among which "research on continuous mining technology and equipment of underground mines" won the first prize of national scientific and technological progress.

More importantly, it has bred and created a large number of heroic models with hard work, hard work and selfless dedication. They Do not forget your initiative mind, keeping in mind their mission, dedicated their youth to the underground stope and rooted their ambition in the corner of the mine.

In the 1950 s, Shen Huiquan and Zhu Linbiao worked hard to start their own businesses under very poor production conditions and even under low cultural conditions. Chen Qingfu, Cheng Xiaoao and Jiang Chenghe in the 1970 s, like Iron Man Wang Jinxi and Old Meng Tai, practiced economy and worked hard, making silent contributions to the mine. Old New Sea, Sijun, underground work "a shovel at work, a burden at work", unknown profit, dedicated his life's energy to the mine; Hu Changshu, a well-known "mining hero" in the 1980 s, retired in 1990, but according to the standard workload, he worked until 2005. In the 1990 s, mines rose like lions, and heroes emerged in large numbers. Gao Guixiang, a national model worker, not only worked courageously for 10 years in production and 20 years of work, but also had a heart of gold in morality and fashion. He insisted on supporting a widowed old man who had never lived before for more than 20 years, and was praised as "Gemini"; Sun Yetong, the winner of the National "May 1st" Labor Medal, was rated as first-class in production and higher in realm, and was rated as advanced every year, it is reputed as "mine does not fall star"; Sun Zhongan, an outstanding young worker of non-ferrous metals in China, silently takes learning first model character as his pursuit goal, and has given honor to others 12 times, and is known as a person of high morale. In the 21st century, there will be talents from generation to generation. Wu Dongsheng, an anchor trolley operator who has learned skills and mastered superb skills, won the National Non-ferrous Metals Industry Skills Award and the industry technical expert. Cheng Shuigen, a national model worker transferred from Anqing Copper Mine to Dongguashan Copper Mine, has been making selfless contributions to the underground production line. Wang Lisheng, a national model worker and known as "the number one in the patio", wrote his youth in kilometers underground; there is also a new generation of provincial labor model and mining squad leader Cai Shunli, who has no complaints or regrets, sweating the stope and repeatedly innovating achievements. Hong Zhaohua, a "good man in Anhui" and head of the tunneling squad, has been competing for jobs for decades and has worked hard for dedication......

Over the past 61 years, the honor list of Dongguashan Copper Mine has recorded the touching deeds of four national model workers, more than a dozen provincial model workers, more than 100 city and company level and thousands of advanced figures at the mine level. Their shining souls, vivid deeds, and outstanding achievements, the stars twinkle and add radiance to each other in the army of mining development.
