Background

The Gramoteinskaya Coal Mine (Шахта Грамотеинская) is an operating underground coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.

The Gramoteinskaya coal mine is an underground coal mine. It is owned and operated by Shakhta Gramoteinskaya LLC, which appears to be owned by a Cyprus-registered company Cyrith Holdings Ltd.[1][2][3]

The mine used to be part of Evraz but after an accident in November 2012 where 7 miners received facial and body burns,[4] the mining operations were suspended and the mine was sold as it was loss-making for Evraz.[5] The mine has been operating at a loss for years, and its owners have been trying to sell it.[6][7]

In 2013, the mine's capacity was stated at 2.5 million tonnes per year.[1][8] In 2016 an expansion plan of the mine was mentioned, without specifying the target capacity increase.[5] However it appears that the project has not gone ahead and the depleting reserves (estimated at the time at 10Mt[5]) are being mined. In the first half of 2022, the mine produced 0.2 million tonnes, which was 75% lower than in the same period in 2021.[9]

In October 2022, the mine's operations were temporarily suspended due to non-compliance with the safety standards. Previously in 2022, Gramoteinskaya was found guilty 3 times of non-compliance with industrial safety requirements, in 2021 the company was found guilty of the same violation 12 times.[10]
