Bulgarian mining complex Mini Maritsa Iztok
said on Wednesday it expects a total coal output of 27.35 million tonnes in
2015.
The miner expects to excavate and transport 101.4 million cu m of
earth this year, Mini Maritsa Iztok said in a statement on its
website.
In January alone, the miner's coal output stood at 3.32 million
tonnes, which exceeds its projections in the company's business plan by more
than 127%. The figures are a record for this time of year.
Mine
Troyanovo-Sever generated the highest coal output last month of 1.26 million
tonnes, followed by mine Troyanovo-3, where coal production stood at 1.1 million
tonnes. The output of miner Troyanovo-1 in January exceeded 965,000
tonnes.
The mining complex, located in southern Bulgaria, is 100%-owned
by state-operated Bulgarian Energy Holding.
