Luo said at an industry conference held in Nanchang, the capital city of eastern Jiangxi Province.  Seven severe gas-triggered accidents at coal minesall happened here in August at smaller coal mines with annual production capacity less than 300,000 tonnes.

Since 2005, China has closed more than 12,000 small coal mines whose  annual output were below 300,000 tonnes.

Official figures showed that China's raw coal production rose 8.9 percent year on year in the first seven months to 1.61 billion tonnes nationwide.
