Among the 16 coal mines, the Adaohai Mine is situated in the southeastern part of the coalfield. The coal-bearing strata within the Daqingshan Coalfield, which includes the Pennsylvanian Shuanmazhuang and the Early Permian Zahuaigou formations, were deposited in a continental setting.
The Daqingshan Coalfield’s primary coal seam, identified as CP2 coal, is situated in the upper portion of the Shuanmazhuang Formation, varying in thickness from 4.7 to 42.8 m, with an average of 22.3 m. The zoned distribution of coal rank of the CP2 coal within the coalfield is directly attributed to igneous intrusions that occurred during the Yanshan Movement. In the eastern part of the coalfield, igneous rocks have intruded into the coal-bearing strata, resulting in a coal rank gradient that increases from northwest to southeast, transitioning from high volatile bituminous to medium volatile bituminous and ultimately to low volatile bituminous.
