Poland intends to engage in coal mining sector in Sumatera

Indonesian and Polish officials including FAMUR International Trade S.A. president Rafal Rost had already discussed the plan which was held on the sidelines of SIMEX mining equipment and metallurgy international exhibition in Katowice last week, Pohan said in a statement made available to ANTARA here Monday.

SIMEX Fair 2007 which was participated in by 100 mining equipment producers from German, Britain, Italy, Russia and Poland was one of the Europe`s largest mining industrial expo.

The Air Laya coal mining project was an open pit but now began to be turned into an underground mine where miners had dug the earth down to 100 meters.

Pohan was quoted as saying high calorie coal could expectedly be found 150 meter below the soil.
