Almost 115,000 tons of coal were extracted to the surface in the first quarter of 2004 by the enterprise "Volynvuhillia". The quarterly task, which amounts to 143,000 tons, was fulfilled at 79.7 percent. This was reported by the general director of the state enterprise "Volynvuhillia" Leonid Hochachko. Of the four mines of the enterprise "Volynvuhillia", mine No. 9 "Novovolynska" operates most rhythmically. Last year, "for a significant contribution to the development of the coal industry and stable operation," it was awarded the "Order of Honor" of the International Personnel Academy.
