Background

The Pervomaisky coal mine is operated by SDS UGOL[2], which is part of the holding company SDS (Siberian Business Union). It was established in 2006 as an industry holding company.[3]

The mine was put into operation in May 2012.[4] In its first year of operation, Pervomaisky mined 1.9 million tonnes of coal. As of 2017, the mine targeted to produce 10 million tones per year.[5]

In 2019, production reached to 7 mtpa.[6] In 2020, the mine produced 5.1 million tonnes.[7] In May 2022, the mine celebrated reaching cumulative production of 50 million tonnes over 10 years since the start of operations.[8] In the first half of 2022, the mine produced 1.9Mt 2022.

As of September 2022 and July 2023, there was no news on the mine's expansion.

In September 2022, the governor of Kuzbass said that new mine projects are on hold due to infrastructure restrictions of coal exports through the Eastern route of Russian Railways, only the projects that are nearing completion are being finished.[9]
