Traditionally, on the eve of the miners' professional holiday — Miner's Day, the general distributor of OJSC "BELAZ" in Russia, Trading House "BELAZ", together with official dealers in the regions, took part in the celebrations of large coal mining enterprises and awarded the best drivers of BELAZ mining dump trucks with valuable gifts.

Among the awarded drivers were the operators of JSC "UK Kuzbassrazrezugol", open pit mine "Uchastok Koksovy" (owned by "IMH-Coal"), JSC "Stroyservice", JSC "Mezhdurechye", LLC "Ugli Kuzbassa" ("Taltek"), open pit mine Koksovy "(JSC "Raspadskaya-Koksovaya"), and JSC "Holding Company "Yakutugol".

The best drivers of JSC "UK Kuzbassrazrezugol" — Vitaly Obertynsky, operator of BELAZ-75131 mining dump truck (coal mine "Mokhovsky") and Denis Pashentsev, operator of BELAZ-75306 mining dump truck (coal mine "Kedrovsky") — were presented with the start keys to the Geely Atlas SUVs.

The drivers of open-pit mines "Sibantratsit" and "Arshanovsky" were also awarded with certificates and valuable gifts. The driver of LLC "UrgalService" received a certificate for BELAZ branded weight-lifting and exercise equipment for outdoor sports.

Olesya Valyaeva, operator of open pit mine "Uchastok Koksovy", deserves special attention. Olesya's experience in driving BELAZ trucks is a little less than one year, but during this time she has already learned to masterfully operate this heavy steel truck, which proves once again that BELAZ mining equipment not only helps Kuzbass coal miners to achieve high production rates, but also provide comfortable working conditions in capable hands of professionals.

BELAZ takes pride in these production leaders, and wishes new records in coal mining, as well as strength and energy in achieving them!
