And now, in the modern era, which is said to be full of uncertainties and rapid changes in trends, the question arises: ‘How can we effectively utilize our own resources to create new value?’<br /> The answer to that is ‘X-MINING’, our initiative to explore answer with you and work towards creating new value and solving challenges.</p> <p> <a href="/about/" class="xm_top_btn"
