Polish copper miner KGHM hopes to acquire shale gas from deposits in Lower Silesia, CEO Herbert Wirth told Dziennik Gazeta Prawna. US gas exploration firm Geoexplorers International has reportedly offered its help. Gas leaks, a relatively common occurrence in many of KGHM’s mines, are seen by the company as offering a potential supply of salable gas. KGHM is also planning to team up with gas monopoly PGNiG to search for shale gas elsewhere in Poland.
