Lugansk region is carrying out an investment project to commission the 13th Western long face at the Carbonite mine of the state enterprise Pervomayskugol with the purchase and modernization of coal and mining machinery.
This is the first and the largest investment project in the region.
It was designed by several European companies.
Investments in the first year will reach 16 million euros. Later some 2 million euros will be added.
Because of the military activity, as the mine is situated near the war zone, the power machinery is often out of order, which decreases water pumping and results in the mine being flooded. (Ukrainian metal)
