Taking Feicheng, a coal-mining city, as example, the paper firstly analyses the current situations of mineral resources and mining economy in Feicheng city, then points out that the lack of the reserves of mineral resources, the system of industrial structure with energy-wasting heavy industry as its main part and serious eco-environmental problems are main obstacles to restrict the sustainable development of the mining city. Finally, based on these some countermeasures, as followings, are put forward for the sustainable development of the mining city: (1) moderately exploiting resources and improving the utilization level of resources by scientific and technical innovations; (2) optimizing industrial structure and developing substitute industries so as to bring about the upgrading of industrial structure; (3) strengthening eco-environmental protection and building ecological cities.
