LW BOGDANKA S.A. has set a new monthly output record in January of this year. The miners of Bogdanka extracted 903.5 thousand tonnes of commercial coal in this time period, thus beating the output record achieved in December of 2014.

The new record was set thanks to all the fields: Bogdanka, Stefanów, and Nadrybie. To put it into perspective, the average monthly output in 2018 was 750 thousand tonnes.
 

“We started 2019 with a new monthly output record of coal. Setting this record was possible thanks to the well planned mix of plough and shearer walls, which was enabled by last year’s intence preparatory works, among others. We are well prepared for completing this year’s expected coal production for the level of 9.4 million tonnes. At the same time, we are continuing works to improve the yield”, said Artur Wasil, President of the Management Board of LW Bogdanka S.A.

Bogdanka, the most modern and most effective mine for hard coal in Poland, sets many records for effectiveness.
