Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka S.A. revised production guidance for the year 2022. For the year, the company reduced commercial coal output goal to ca. 8.3 million tons from recently announced lower target of 9.2 million tons +/- 2%.

The reduction to the target follows a sudden increase in the pressure in a longwall launched only on August 31, which resulted in technical obstacles to extraction, Bogdanka said. The company took steps to remedy the situation, but works are complicated from organizational and technical points of view. As recently as on September 2, Bogdanka reduced its 2022 commercial coal output goal to 9.2 million tons +/- 2% from 9.5 million tons seen previously, citing sudden and unexpected hurdles in mining activities.
