Background

Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK) owns and operates the mine. A majority of coal from the mine is exported to European and Asian markets. Domestic consumers include power plants and coal distribution companies supplying households.

The coal is supplied to the Novosibirsk-4 power station, along with the coal from the Chernogorsky coal mine; as well as to the Novosibirsk-2 power station, along with the coal from the Chernogorsky coal mine and Zarechny coal mine.
