Apartak Coal Mine is a surface coal mine in Ahangaran, Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the coal mine in Ahangaran, Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan.[1]
Background
The Apartak coal mine is owned and operated by Uzbekugol, which is a state-owned company. The Apartak mine is adjacent to the bigger Angren coal mine.
The mine once produced a fractional share- 50,000 tonnes- but in 2020 produced 400,000 tonnes with plans to boost expansion to 1 million tonnes.[2]
A notice published in October 2022 by Uzbekugol states that 2022 production will reach 0.5 million tonnes and will stay that level in 2023-2026.[3] It is assumed that the 2022 forecast is accurate given that this was published in October 2022.
