Pyongyang, April 18 (KCNA) -- Officials and workers of the Musan Mining Complex in the DPRK are making innovations in the production of concentrated iron ore.

After successfully blasting 650 000 cubic meter earth at the outset of the year, the complex has carried out monthly and quarterly plans and increased the production of concentrated iron ore by 1.2 times as compared with the same period of last year.

Workers of the open branch mine are increasing the output of iron ore by carrying out small and medium blasting one after another while ensuring full operation of rotary drills and introducing advanced drilling methods.
