Summary:
The mine operates three mechanized mining units (MMU), utilizing the room and pillar method of mining. Coal is mined with two continuous mining machines on each working section and is transported from the working faces by battery-powered coal haulers. Coal is then transported to the surface via a belt conveyor system.
