Mining traditions

Mining traditions are strictly observed in KGHM. Even today, patron saints, guardians, respect for the uniform and the miner's sword, shared feasts, celebrations and the miners' greeting "Szczęść Boże!" (God keep you) are of great importance. 

 

Every year, on 23rd March, on the anniversary of the discovery of the copper ore deposits in Poland, special celebrations to commemorate this day are held. In Lubin, memorial wreaths are laid at the monument of Jan Wyżykowski – the discoverer of the Polish copper ore deposit.
