During the discussions was the end of January next year, the mine must obtain a positive financial result. If this condition is met, the plant will remain in the structure of Polish Mining Group. If not, at the end of 2017. Will be transferred to the Company Restructuring Mines (SRK), which hit the mines for coal mining extinction.
“point zero” for the mine Tchórzewski called the launch in October and November this year, two new wall mining, which in January next year will be – as he said – “checked”. This means that an analysis on how the new wall contributed to the improvement of the mine and achieve profitability.
” In January, we say: check “- he said after talks with trade minister, indicating that if the analysis result is negative, mine Sośnica will run until the end of next year, in order to exploit the coal from the two new walls. If, however, reaches profitability – remain in PGG.
“If the outlook turns positive in January, then mine already in another system, przereformowana, przerestrukturyzowana will be able to work in total, probably 8-10 years “- he told reporters Tchórzewski.
He added that the future of the mine is kind of “suspended, but with good prospects for the future.” “Sośnica got the chance. And the social side, and the mine management approached positively to these proposals (…). All indications are that the mine next year has a chance” – pointed out the head of the department of energy.
Tuesday’s compromise with the unions on this matter Tchórzewski rated as “the best possible solution.” “There was a consensus at the junction of the board, the management of the mine and the social side,” – stressed the Minister, pointing out that in January, none of the parties should be unpretentious, when decisions will be taken depending on the results of analysis of the effects of the mine.
Tchórzewski expressed his conviction that none of the options the future Sośnicy will not adversely affect the outcome of PGG in 2017. at the level of the so-called. plus zero (ie, the minimum profitability), which – as pointed minister before meeting with the trade – is now crucial for the restructuring of the mining and notification of the recovery program for the sector by the European Commission.
“By the end of 2017. will (mine Sośnica – PAP) work only on these two walls, there will be capital expenditure, then it also should be near zero close” – Tchórzewski added, speaking of the potential impact of the operation of the walls in Gliwice mine on the results of PGG.
the Minister informed that adopted on Tuesday a timetable on Sośnica, including in the current issue of the extraction and preparation of new walls, it was “quite definite for detail.” Case Sośnicy should not negatively affect the notification recovery program for the mining industry by the European Commission. “When it comes to mine Sośnica, I show it (Commission – PAP) as mine about the state of the unexplained” – the minister said.
PGG President Tomasz Rogala stressed that it was necessary to meet the Sośnica conditions and parameters – mainly on the production volume and capacity – have been established together with the social. Success has also described the current situation, in which – as explained – the company will no longer be an explicit mine.
“regardless of how this process is over, you either end up a success which consists in the fact that further mine will operate and produce coal or end with a positive result, because mine will consume those resources that have” – she pointed out the president of PGG.
“With this agreement, not mine Sośnica will be charged to the financial result PGG. We were looking for the best solution, which would create no danger to finance the entire company. We equip two walls. Until the results of the evaluation of progress in the mine, we will lead others to preparatory investment, which will significantly reduce costs “- explained Rogala.
Gliwice mine Sośnica brings the greatest losses in PGG; this spring reported that last year’s loss exceeded 124 zł for each tonne of carbon. According to unofficial information from the industry, the total loss of the mine from the last few years, more than 1 billion zł. the plant is also particularly vulnerable to natural hazards, primarily methane. the unions, however, they opposed the transfer of the mine to SRK for its liquidation.
in an interview with reporters after Tuesday’s meeting, the head of the Solidarity PGG Boguslaw Hutek called the talks “difficult and heavy.” “Now everything in the hands of the crew Sośnica mine, just to show that you actually afford it, to fedrować and be out either zero or a plus (…). They have to show that they are able to get it, what was left of their party presented “- said Hutek.
In an interview with PAP before meeting the minister confirmed Tchórzewski that one of the proposals was to give the board of PGG mine Sośnica to SRK. Did not agree to this trade unionists, who emphasized that the agreement concluded in April, it found that PGG take over 11 mines Coal Company – including the loss-making Sośnica. Compounds not see any reason to shut down a few months later, the mine with the group.
