In 2014, the mines of Vorkutaugol, a subsidiary of Severstal will launch 11 new faces, and 9 of them will start operation in H1. All 5 mines of the company await the launch of the new faces. The Northern mine performs outrunning arrangement of the face at the Fourth layer; it will start operation in May. Face development is nearly completed at the Motschny layer, the most productive one; it will produce the first coal batch in June. In January, the Vorkutinskaya mine already started one face at the Fourth layer. In April-May, production there can reach 30,000 – 35,000 tons.
