Background
The Kolubara Field G coal mine is a surface mine near Veliki Crljeni, Serbia.
The Kolubara Field G coal mine is part of Kolubara Mine Complex.
Field G coal mine is located in the western part of the Kolubara coal basin and it started operating in 2017 after the completed exploitation at the Veliki Crljeni mine, as its substitute capacity.[6][7]
As per 2008 EBRD's document, Veliki Crljeni planned mining start in 2009 and should have ceased mining 2016.[8] Technical report by EPS confirm that Veliki Crljeni section ceased to produce in 2016 and Field G started production in 2017.[9]
As per the basin map from 2011 (see below) Veliki Crleni is located in the central part of the basin. However at the time the map did not yet indicate the location of Field G coal mine. As per Euracoal 2019 report, Field G mine extension was opened in 2017 with 36.5 million tonnes of lignite reserves.[7]
A media source from April 2023 reported that the Field G coal mine will be expanded. According to the decision of the Ministry of of Environmental Protection, the expansion of Field G is necessary due to the delay in the procurement of the equipment for Radjlevo coal mine. Extra volumes of coal would last for another year. The total amount of the coal projected for excavation from Field G is 35 million tonnes, that is, 5 million a year.[6]
