KABUL: The General Directorate of State-Owned Enterprises has said that the Shabashak coal mines produce between 200 and 300 tons of coal per day, in accordance with technical standards and quality requirements.
In a statement published on its X account on Tuesday, the directorate said that the Shabashak mines operate under the state-owned Northern Coal Company, and other mining areas under the company’s jurisdiction include Shakol, Jaihun, and Qarmal.
According to the statement, the coal extracted from these mines has a calorific value ranging from 6,000 to 6,500 kilocalories, indicating a high-quality energy resource.
