Background

Boysunkumir LLC owns operates the mine, which is owned by Shargunkumir JSC.[2][3] In turn, Shargunkumir is 99.86% owned by O’zbekiston Temir yo’llari JSC (Uzbekistan Railways).[4]

As of 2020, the mine was producing only about 50,000 tonnes of coal per year, with plans to expand production up to 450,000 tonnes per annum.[5]

As of January 2023, the expansion project did not appear to have progressed. In January 2023, the President of Uzbekistan mentioned the development of Baysun coal field as a future project and the need to attract investors.[6]

In its 2023 business plan, Shargunkumir listed 0 as production of coal contributed by Boysunkumir LLC.[3] Therefore it was not clear if the mine is still operating.
