Background

Kiselevsky Razrez LLC owns and operates the mine, which in turn is owned by MelTEK.[1] The mine was acquired by MelTEK in 2017 from SDS Ugol.[2] The majority of coal produced by MelTEK is exported to European and Asian markets.[1]

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.[3][4][5]

In May 2022 a coal dust storm occurred in the town of Kiselyovsk.[6]

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.[7] In the first half of 2022, the mine produced only 269 thousand tonnes, a 5.5% reduction compared to the same period in 2021. [8]

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.[9]
