For the first time since its existence (September 1998), based on the results of the first half of this year, the State Enterprise "Volynvuhillia" exceeded its planned coal extraction targets. With a plan of 263 thousand tons, 269.9 thousand tons were extracted, meaning 6.8 thousand tons of coal were brought to the surface above the plan, reported on July 14 to the Western Information Corporation by the general director of the State Enterprise "Volynvuhillia," Ivan Kostyk.
\n \nCompared to the corresponding period last year, extraction stands at 118.5%, meaning 41 thousand tons of coal more.
\n \nOverall, out of the four coal-extracting enterprises that are part of SE "Volynvuhillia," three fulfilled their planned targets. The teams of the "Buzhanska" mine, No. 5 and No. 9 of "Novovolynska" are working steadily.
\n \n"Over the first half of the current year, we have improved practically all our main indicators," notes the general director of SE "Volynvuhillia," Ivan Kostyk. Average daily coal extraction amounted to about 1,582 tons, which is 116.1% more compared to last year. 2.9 kilometers of mining workings were driven (149 meters above plan), including 2.4 kilometers of development and preparatory workings.
\n \nThe enterprise's finished marketable output amounted to 29.7 million hryvnias. The price per ton of coal is 121.3 hryvnias. The average wage of employees is 1,200 hryvnias, meaning it has nearly doubled over the year. The average monthly wage of drifters at our enterprise is 1,454 hryvnias, and of longwall workers – 1,667 hryvnias
