Situation in longwall 3/VII/385 under control
Hydrological situation in longwall 3/VII/385 under control of the mine’s services.
Following up on the Company’s earlier announcement, we wish to inform that the mine’s services have the hydrological situation in longwall 3/VII/385 under ongoing control. At present, the water inflow is at a safe level, which allows safeguarding work to be performed in the area. Water from the longwall is drained on an ongoing basis and pumped out by the mine’s water drainage installation.
Given that an increased inflow of water is still observed into the area of the planned test run launch, the original repair plan has been modified as a result. The Company is currently in the process of considering optimum options of a new plan of actions.
We can confirm that at present LW Bogdanka manages the schedule of the longwall run in a way ensuring that the production plan (8.3 million tons of commercial coal) announced last September in Current Report No. 21/2022 is not at risk. Furthermore we wish to inform that the mine is currently operating full efficiency extraction in the longwalls of the Bogdanka and Nadrybie Fields, with another longwall planned for launch this month in the Stefanów Field.
