The construction of Unit 11 is the largest investment project in the coal industry over the years of Ukraine’s independence. The welfare of the region of operation and its residents will depend on its implementation.

«The commissioning of Unit 11 was planned for the end of 2024. However, due to the war, this deadline had to be postponed. Nevertheless, SBSK and ShBMU1, with the fruitful support of Svyato-Pokrovsk mine, are bringing our mine closer to launch every day,» the statement said.

As GMK Center reported earlier, in 2023, the mine produced 3.1 million tons of coal concentrate and sank 20 km of mine workings. Construction of the No. 3 air feeder shaft is also underway.
