OREANDA-NEWS. March 31, 2010. At the Kotinskaya Mine (the Director of the Mine is Mikhail Lupiy, the Section Manager is Sergey Musokhranov) the stoping team led by Vladimir Melnik delivered its millionth tonne of coal since the beginning of the year. This is the first team in OAO SUEK and in the Kemerovo Region to achieve such a result in 2010.

In 2008 Vladimir Melnik's team set a national record of monthly yield having mined 635,000 tonnes of coal while the total yield of the mine amounted to 665,000 tonnes. The same team holds the national record of annual yield amounting to 4.7 million tonnes.

"The team delivered their first million this year in difficult mining and geological conditions, i. e. with significant watering in the mine," points out the director of the mine Mikhail Lupiy. "These achievements resulted from well coordinated and highly dedicated work of professional miners, and constant implementation of innovations."
