The No. 7 coal mine is a closed underground coal mine, operated by JSC SUEK, a subsidiary of SUEK, producing 2.8 million tonnes per annum, near Bol-shaya Talda, in Kuzbass coalfield, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.[1] In 2016, the company combined the mine with the Kotinskaya coal mine to form the Yalevsky coal mine.[2]

Coal Mine Background
No. 7 coal mine was commissioned in 2000 with a capacity of 2.8 million tons of coal per year.[3]
In 2005 the No. 7 mine became part of SUEK, and modernisation began.[3]
In 2013 a methane flare in a conveyor drift killed 8 miners and halted production for almost 12 months.[4]
In November 2014 mine No. 7 was renamed after V. D. Yalevsky.[3]
In September 2016, No.7 was combined with Kotinskaya into a joint enterprise named after V. D. Yalevsky.
SUEK invested 10 billion rubles (more than $145 million) in the Yalevsky mine between 2013 and 2018.[5]
