The Kuu-Check Coal Mine (Куу-Чекинское месторождение) is a surface mine in Karaganda region, Kazakhstan.
Location
The below map shows the EXACT location of the mine.[1]
Background
Kuu-Check mine is operated by Kazakhmys Coal LLC, which is part of Kazakhmys Corporation. Molodezhny coal mine is also owned and operated by Kazakhmys Coal.
Operations at the mine commenced in 1957. In July 1997, the open-pit mine joined 'Borly' State Open Joint Stock Company under the management of Kazakhmys Corporation JSC. In October 2006, the Borly Coal Department- branch of Kazakhmys Corporation LLC was formed, and Kuu-Chekinsky open-pit mine entered the Department as a structural unit. In 2018, Borly Coal Department was restructured into Kazakhmys Coal LLC.[2]
The mine's capacity is stated as 1 million tonnes per annum.[2]
Potential Mothballing
In February 2022, a media article referred to the planned mothballing of the mine due to unfavourable economics and dwindling reserves.[3] There is no announcement of the mine's closure and with coal prices having risen since then, it is assumed that the mine is still operating (as of January 2023).
