Barzasskoye tovarischestvo

The Barzasskoye tovarischestvo coal mine is an operating coal mine in the Kemerovo Oblast in Russia. In addition to the existing mine, two expansions to the mine are being considered: Gusinsky-South and Shcherbinovsky. Gusinsky-South was planned to commission in the first quarter of 2020, while Shcherbinovsky is much longer term, with expectations for its expansions in 2033.
