At the junction of the "Four Provinces of Mountains and Rivers", there is a geological exploration iron army that adheres to the original intention of serving the country through geology-the 129th Exploration Team of the China Coal Geology Bureau
In the 70 years since its establishment, the 129th Team has kept in mind the "big things of the country" and has successively participated in the exploration of Hunan coalfields, the construction of the Southwest Third Line, and the Handan-Xingxing Coalfield Campaign. At the same time, it has gone abroad to undertake engineering surveys and coalfield exploration tasks in Iran, Indonesia, and Mongolia. With its hard-working and combat-ready qualities, it has continued to grow into a meritorious geological team renowned in the national coal geology system.
Mines come first in all industries. Mineral resources are an important material basis for economic and social development, and the exploration and development of mineral resources are related to national economy, people's livelihood and national security. Over the past 70 years since the team was founded, several generations of prospectors of the 129th team have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland, sleeping in the open air and working hard, and have provided nearly 30 billion tons of coal deposits to the country.
Looking back on the past struggle and looking forward to the road ahead, the prospectors of the 129th team are full of passion and enthusiasm.
After ten years of fighting in Hunan, the exploration workers of the 129th team have traveled all over the land of Hunan, completed a total of 300,000 meters of drilling footage, and provided 1.734 billion tons of coal reserves, making an important contribution to reversing the situation of "transporting coal from the north to the south".
Fighting on the Third Front, the red flag was raised on the Wumeng Mountains. In the past 9 years, the 129th team inherited and carried forward the "three glorious" and "four special" spirits of geologists, cared about the southwest, and sweated in Liupanshui, completing 180,000 meters of drilling footage and providing 2.933 billion tons of coal reserves, making Liupanshui a "dual base" for the steel industry and the coal industry.
In the 50 years since it moved to North China, the 129th Team has participated in the development and construction of large coal bases such as Henan Yongxia Coalfield, Yuzhou Coalfield, Pingdingshan Coalfield, Ruzhou Coalfield and Shandong Zaozhuang Mining Area, and submitted more than 30 large and medium-sized geological reports of various types, with a total of 16 billion tons of coal resource reserves.
The higher the mountain, the stronger the will; the farther the ridge, the broader the mind. Over the past 70 years, the 129th Team has carried forward the spirit of the geological exploration field army of "working hard, not afraid of difficulties, not talking about conditions, and not caring about the cost", fought north and south, and fought hard in many large-scale coal base battles, using life and sweat to ensure national energy security, and became a geological exploration iron army that "comes when called, can fight when coming, and must win when fighting". In the land of Hunan, Liupanshui, Guizhou, and North China, it has helped build Wujin coal mines and industrial bases, and practiced the responsibility and commitment of the industry's "national team" with practical actions.
