[Ferro-Alloys.com] Domestic steel demand and prices are expected to grow this year on the back of economic recovery in China as well as overseas, industry insiders said.

Shandong launched a province-wide campaign on Wednesday checking the safety of non-coal mines, including gold mines and mines under construction, according to an emergency meeting held by the Shandong Department of Emergency Management on Wednesday.

The campaign will last until the end of March.

All the non-coal mines in the province will be checked and reviewed on their production safety. A mine can only resume production after reviews show it meets the criterion on safe production.
