Deputy Minister visits the Budryk mine

On Tuesday (24 February), Deputy Minister of State Assets Grzegorz Wrona paid a working visit to the Budryk mine in Ornontowice. During his visit the Deputy Minister familiarized himself with the mine’s current operations and the progress of work related to the reconstruction of infrastructure following the raw coal storage tank disaster that occurred in December last year. In addition, technical solutions implemented after the incident to maintain business continuity were discussed.

Deputy Minister Wrona, representing the Ministry of State Assets, is directly involved in matters concerning JSW. He participated, among other things, in negotiations with representative trade unions, which resulted in the recent signing of the suspension memorandum of agreement – an important element in the process of implementing the JSW remedy program.

- Today's visit to KWK Budryk is the first in a series of working meetings that I plan to hold at JSW mines. Direct presence in the mines and discussions with the staff and management provide a more complete picture of the situation – both from a strategic perspective and a more practical one, visible on a daily basis - said Deputy Minister Grzegorz Wrona. - I would like to thank the management and employees of Budryk for their professionalism and commitment to quickly restore the production capacity after the December disaster - he added.

During his visit, the Deputy Minister also familiarized himself with the work carried out underground, descending to a depth of 1,290 meters – the deepest mining level in Polish hard coal mines. The delegation took a suspended cable car to roadway Bw-1 in seam 405/2, from where they walked to longwall Bw-1, which was the main destination of the visit. After familiarizing themselves with the working conditions, the organization of the work, and the technical solutions used, the delegation then headed towards the bottom of shaft VI at level 1290, from where they returned to the surface. 

The visit was also attended by Bogusław Oleksy, acting president of JSW, Adam Rozmus, vice-president of JSW, Jarosław Rutkowski, director of the Budryk coal mine, and Monika Rosa, member of parliament.

- The Budryk Coal Mine is one of JSW's most important plants, playing a key role in the stable operation of the entire Company. That is why we attach particular importance to the efficient reconstruction of infrastructure after last year's disaster and to maintaining continuity of production. The technical and organizational measures we are implementing allow us to consistently strengthen the mine's operational potential so that it can provide us with a stable contribution to the results of the entire Group - emphasized Bogusław Oleksy, acting president of JSW.

The Budryk coal mine in Ornontowice is one of the largest hard coal mines in Poland and one of the main production facilities of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa. The mine specializes in the extraction of high-quality coking coal used in the steel industry and is an important pillar of the JSW Group's raw material base. The mine is one of the most modern facilities in the Polish mining industry, and its operations are of great importance for maintaining stable production and achieving the Company's strategic goals.
