Main factors influencing the performance indicators:
— DTEK Rovenkyanthracite, DTEK Sverdlovanthracite and DTEK Komsomolets Donbassa mine’s aggregate coal production dropped by 18.5% or 2.4 mln tonnes due to military hostilities;
— On 27 July, Komsomolets Donbassa mine switched to the special operating mode: maintaining key processes in the workings due to shelling of mine and the territories adjacent to it;
— In September, DTEK Sverdlovanthracite and DTEK Rovenkyanthracite resumed coal production at the mines that had been temporarily suspended earlier not to jeopardize the miners as the military hostilities took place in close vicinity to the mines;
— DTEK Pavlogradugol increased production by 5.7% or 759.1 ths tonnes while Obukhovskaya mine group — by 69.5% or 622.9 ths tonnes.
For 9 months of 2014 DTEK allocated 713.1 million hryvnias for the purchase of equipment for extraction faces; investments in replacement of the worn-out tunnelling equipment and upgrade of the transportation chain amounted to 201.6 mln hryvnias.
In 3Q 2014, the first stage of Pavlogradska CPP upgrade was completed. This will ensure ROM coal processing growth by 1.3 mln tonnes per year to make 5.8 mln tonnes. The plant re-equipment will result in the production of high calorific value concentrate for export and reduced costs for processing at external CPPs (the total project budget is 133.8 mln hryvnias).
The main fan at Komsomolets Donbassa mine was replaced (the total project budget is 63.8 mln hryvnias). However, due to military hostilities and shelling of the mine, Komsomolets Donbassa mine suspended its coal production and the equipment commissioning was postponed since 27 July.
Main projects:
— a project to increase the conveying capacity of the winder set at Geroiv Kosmosu mine (project budjet is 153.5 mln hryvnias) that will help increase productivity to 3 mln tonnes per year starting 2015;
— construction of ventilation wells at Yuvileina and Dobropilska mines (project budgets are 235 mln hryvnias and 74.7 mln hryvnias respectively). The projects’ implementation will help to supply the required amount of air to the mine.
