Background
The Polosukhinskaya Coal Mine (Полосухинская шахта) is an operating underground coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. The Polosukhinskaya coal mine is owned and operated by Rusugolholding LLC.
The mine was bought in July 2020 by Rusugolholding LLC, which in turn is owned by Stirakia Holdings Ltd, incorporated in Cyprus.[11][12] Previously the mine was owned by Sibuglemet.[13]
The mine is a former block No.1 of the Bolshevik coal mine and was separated from it in 1985. The Polosukhinskaya mine develops the Baidaevskoye coal deposit, located in the north-eat of Novokuznetsk. The mine field consists of two separate areas: the main filed and Antonovsky-3 section. The coal mined is valuable coking coal.[14]
It produces 2.5 million tonnes of coking coal per year.[15][11] The main consumer is Novolipetsk Steel (NLMK).[11]
In the first half of 2022, production of the mine was 1.1 million tonnes.[16] 2022 production reached 2.287 million tonnes.[17]
In July 2024, there was one fatality reported.[18] In June 2025, Rostechnadzor suspended mining operations at the mine for 90 days following a fatal accident and the identification of safety violations, including the operation of a scraper conveyor and a longwall shearer in breach of safety regulations.[19]
In 2024, the mine reported revenues of 6.6 billion rubles (approximately $76 million) and a net profit of 3.6 billion rubles (approximately $41 million).[20]
Coal Mine Boundaries and Methane Sources
Global Energy Monitor researchers have identified coal mine boundary/boundaries and potential sources of coal mine methane (CMM) for this mine. These research results can be used to drive CMM attribution and mitigation efforts, particularly when combined with remotely sensed methane plume locations and mine ownership data. Explore the results with the embedded map at the top of this page by clicking on the mine boundary polygon or the CMM placemarkers to reveal more details. A detailed description of this research can be found in Coal Mine Boundaries and Methane Sources. This data is also available as a downloadable companion dataset to the Global Coal Mine Tracker and the Global Methane Emitters Tracker.
