The mining sphere in KGHM includes the activities of three mines: Lubin, Rudna and Polkowice-Sierszowice; the Ore Enrichment Plants division, which prepares concentrate for our smelters; and the Tailings Management division, responsible for the storage and management of tailings. The safety of our employees is looked after by our Emergency Rescue Services Unit.
