Background

Kiselevsky Coal Mine (Киселевский разрез) is a surface mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.

Kiselevsky Razrez LLC owns and operates the mine, which in turn is owned by MelTEK. The mine was acquired by MelTEK in 2017 from SDS Ugol. The majority of coal produced by MelTEK is exported to European and Asian markets.

Kiselevsky coal mine is located in the urban area of the city of Kiselyovsk. There are 9 open pit mines operating in the city, in addition to several washing plants. Some open mines are located very close to residential areas. The mines are reported, according to Need Help, to have caused serious environmental hazards for residents including reports of contaminated drinking water, air pollution, black snow, and noise pollution. The charity also raised environmental concerns over deforestation and destruction of rural land.

In May 2022 a coal dust storm occurred in the town of Kiselyovsk.

In March 2025, Kiselevsky coal mine was reported to have temporarily suspended overburden removal and coal extraction due to adverse economic conditions. According to media reports, the suspension was attributed to declining global coal prices, rising production and logistics costs, higher debt servicing expenses, and insufficient investment for preparing new mining areas and replacing worn-out equipment. As of late April 2025, no timeline for resumption of operations had been announced. There were updates as of February 2026.

Many mines are affected by the sanctions to export Russian coal. In August 2022 Kiselevsky coal mine was mentioned as one of the few that had to stop production due to sanctions. In the first half of 2022, the mine produced only 269 thousand tonnes, a 5.5% reduction compared to the same period in 2021. In 2023 the mine reached 70 years since the start of operations.

Total production by MelTEK's mines (Kiselevsky, Prokopyevsky coal mine, Sibenergougol mine and Stepanovsky coal mine ) in 2022 reached 3.462 million tonnes, which was 30% lower than in 2021. In 2023, Meltek's production increased to 3.9 million tonnes. In the first half of 2024, Meltek's production decreased by almost 15% to 1.7Mt.
