Background
Krasnogorsk coal mine (Красногорский разрез) also known as Krasnogorsky mine, is an operating surface mine in the Kuzbass coal field of the Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.[4]
The Krasnogorsk coal mine is owned and operated by Southern Kuzbass Coal Company, a subsidiary of Mechel. Southern Kuzbass Coal Company was formed in 1993 when several mining and processing enterprises joined forces. Southern Kuzbass Coal Company joined Mechel Group, in 2003.[5]
The mine started operating in 1954. There are two licenses in place to operate two sections of the mine. In 2002 the company launched the Krasnogorsk Processing Plant to handle anthracite and steam coal.[5]
The mine is expected to operate until 2052, according to Mechel's 2018 reporting.[6]
The area is heavily mined by both opencast and underground mines. The combined impact of the operations is significant, with the water visual polluted, wildlife has fled and people who used to live as subsistence farmers or gatherers and hunters, having to buy food as dust cloaks food growing areas.[7][8]
Southern Kuzbass Coal Mines
The Southern Kuzbass Coal Company includes four surface mines and three underground mines. All mines are located in southeast Kuzbass around the town of Mezhdurechensk. The Southern Kuzbass mines and the related washing plants produce semi-soft and semi-hard coking coal, anthracite, PCI and steam coal. The Kuzbass operations are connected by rail to the Trans-Siberian Mainline and substantially all products are shipped by rail. Products are generally shipped by rail to Russian customers, to northwestern Russian ports for European customers, to Port Posiet and Port Vanino for export to Asia and to Port Temryuk for customers in the Black Sea and Mediterranean basins.[9]
As of January 1, 2021, in-situ reserves at Southern Kuzbass's seven coal mines are estimated at about 1.8 billion tonnes. The project capacity of the company’s mines total 15 million tonnes annually, while washing capacity totals 17 million tonnes.[10]
