S&T innovation, research and development are within the "five business sectors" as defined in company strategy, JCHX has formed an innovation system comprising of independent innovation and open innovation in line with the concept of "innovative and leading technology".

Through establishment of Beijing New Mining Technology R&D Center, Beijing JCHX Mine Technology Research Institute, and JCHX Mine Engineering Design Institute, JCHX has formed an independent innovation system in line with its 4^th “five-year” plan and “five business sectors” strategy, to provide consulting and engineering design services using technical achievements as a carrier, while focusing on engineering and industrialization of scientific research achievements.

High-end scientific and technological talents are recruited through post-doctoral scientific research workshop and cooperation with China University of Mining & Technology. JCHX Paste Backfill Laboratory, as the largest paste filling lab in China, comprising of a pilot paste backfilling system and a material performance test lab, serves as an experimental research platform for new backfilling technology, new equipment and new materials and is approved as “International Cooperation Base for Green Mining Technique based on Paste Backfill” by Beijing Science & Technology Commission.

JCHX has established S&T Innovation Division since February 2017 to integrate its resources and strengths for S&T research and development. Based on the brand effect, core technologies and market influence of JCHX, and relying on support from headquarters, S&T Innovation Division remains anchored in mining sector and strives to provide value-added services on top of experiment and research, scientific research and development, high-end consultancy, engineering design, and technical services. Mainly engaged in EP, EPC, EPC+OM works and sometimes BOT and BT works, being market-oriented and by way of project management and fleet export, S&T Innovation Division is busy exploring both domestic and overseas market while improving its management and operation mechanism, to support the research and engineering services of JCHX, to be the cradle for high-level skilled personnel, to facilitate quick decision-making process as well as profit growth for JCHX, then to realize a harmonious development among the society, JCHX, and its employees.

JCHX stays committed to playing a global leading role in mines development, construction, and operation, and never wavers in its pursuit of S&T innovation. A S&T expert committee led by 6 academicians including Gu Desheng, Wen Bangchun, Hong Boqian, Wang Xuguang, Sun Chuanyao and Cai Meifeng, and national engineering design master Liu Fanglai is established to provide JCHX with technological support and guarantee and improve JCHX’s development in science and technology.
