The “Bzie-Dębina 1-Zachód” deposit will be mined together with the “Bzie-Dębina 2-Zachód” deposit by a newly constructed Bzie-Dębina mine in Jastrzębie-Zdrój. The total resources of the new mine are estimated at 180 million tons. The “Bzie-Dębina 2-Zachód” deposit, for which the Company obtained the concession in 2008, has resources of 114 million tons and the “Bzie-Dębina 1-Zachód” deposit has nearly 71.5 million tons. Roughly 95% of the resources in the Bzie-Dębina deposits consist of type 35 coking coal.
- After many years of efforts we have managed to obtain a concession for the “Bzie-Dębina 1-Zachód” deposit. The decision of the Minister of the Environment is key for the development of the Bzie-Dębina mine and the entire Company. A rich resource base determines the value of every commodity company; that is why it is so important to continue enlarging that base” - said Daniel Ozon, CEO of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa.
The new mine was spun-off from the structures of the integrated Borynia-Zofiówka-Jastrzębie mine at the beginning of this year. The first ton of coal from the new mine is to be extracted in 2022.
