New longwall commissioned in war zone

Forty kilometres from the front line of the war in Ukraine, vertically integrated mining and metals company Metinvest has commissioned its eleventh longwall for coking coal in Block 10 of the Pokrovske Colliery, enabling the group of companies to produce almost one-million tonnes of coal. Pokrovske Coal CEO Andriy Akulich says the timely preparation of the new longwall is a “positive result of the long, hard work of every employee of the business”.
