The Dananhu Mine is located at the southern Turpan-Hami coalfield, which is tectonically located at the northern edge of the Dananhu depression. The coal-bearing strata is the Middle Jurassic Xishanyao Formation. In the late Early Jurassic, the Dananhu Depression began to subside drastically from the status of ancient uplift. In the middle of the Xishanyao Formation, the delta-lake depositional system was formed. Peat swamps developed steadily, resulting in the extensive development of extra-thick coal seams. In the late Xishanyao Formation, lake intrusion led to a coal accumulation stop. The depositional environment of the Xishanyao Formation in the Dananhu Mine is overall dominated by the delta-lake environment.
Dannanhu coals can be classified as high volatile matter brown coal.
