Located in the northeastern part of the Jungar basin. 65 km long (N~S), 26 km
wide (E~W)

The Jungar Coalfield lies on the Ordos Basin’s northeastern margin. Measuring 65 km north–south and 26 km east–west, the coalfield covers an area of 1700 km2. As one of the Ordos Basin’s most prolific coalfields, its reserves are estimated at 26.8 gigatons.
The sediments in Junger Coalfield are characterized by a diverse range of sedimentary environments. A gradual transition from limestone-dominated to predominantly clastic sediments is evident as limestone deposits thin out within the coalfield from south to north. Coal-bearing strata in the region comprise the Pennsylvanian Benxi and Taiyuan formations, as well as the Lower Permian Shanxi Formation, collectively reaching thicknesses between 110 and 160 m.
The upper portion of the Taiyuan Formation is composed of mudstone, sandy mudstone, and the No. 6 coal. The No. 6 coal, which has an average thickness of 30 m, is located at the top of the Taiyuan Formation. It is the major minable coal bed, accounting for approximately 80% of the total coal reserve in the Jungar Coalfield. The No. 6 coal is overlain by dark gray mudstone, sandy mudstone, or siltstone and underlain by mudstone.
