Summary of Huabei Mining Conference Call Industry and Company Overview - The conference call pertains to Huabei Mining, a company involved in coal mining and related businesses, particularly focusing on coking coal and non-coal operations [2][3][4].

Q2 saw an improvement with an increase of about 200,000 tons [3]. - The coking business turned profitable in Q2, recovering from a loss of 215 million RMB in Q1 to profitability in Q2, with a reduction in losses exceeding 200 million RMB [3][8]. - Non-coal business revenue increased by approximately 300 million RMB compared to Q1, with significant contributions from the titanium-zinc purification project and the forest mining sector [2][14]. 3. **Cost Management**: The company implemented cost reduction measures, achieving a coal cost of about 520 RMB/ton in Q1, a decrease of approximately 70 RMB year-on-year.
