Background

The Kayerkansky-2 Coal Mine (Кайерканский-2 разрез) is an operating surface coal mine in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.

The Kayerkansky-2 coal mine is a surface coal mine. It is owned and operated by Norilski Obespechivayushchi Kompleks LLC (ООО Норильский обеспечивающий комплекс), a subsidiary of Norilsk Nickel.

It produces about 150,000 tons of coal per year. About half of this amount is used to power the massive Norilsk Nickel plant, and half is used for heating purposes in the area. The mine also produces about 600,000 tons of sandstone and 750,000 tons of limestone per year.

In a media source from October 2022, it was clarified that the Kayerkansky mine is developing the Kalargon limestone deposit, the Kayerkan coal deposit, the Gorozubovskoye anhydrite deposit in Norilsk and the basalt deposit in Talnakh.
