Pyongyang, August 9 (KCNA) -- Mines in the metal industry of the DPRK are pushing ahead with the work to put production on a normal basis despite any torrential rains.

The Musan Mining Complex has checked and repaired drainage equipment in a responsible manner while taking a step to protect the electric power system equipment from downpour.

The open branch mine installed spare pumps and power equipment rationally.

Unryul and Jaeryong mines pay attention to pumping out the pit faces in time while meticulously organizing the alternated production so as to prevent the pit faces from being submerged.

The Jangsan Mine established a double-drainage system at high-risk places and ensured normal operation of equipment to increase the output of minerals.

Ramjong, Hungsan and other mines are directing efforts to ensuring the full operation of drainage equipment with the spare parts so as to create the conditions favorable for normal production. -0-
