Background

The Raspadskaya-Koksovaya coal mine (шахта Распадская-Коксовая) is an underground mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.[5]

It is part of the Raspadskaya coal mining complex.

It is not to be confused with Razrez Raspadsky Koksovy coal mine. Raspadskaya PJSC owns and operates the entire Raspadskaya coal mining complex. Evraz announced in December 2021 that it is planning to spin off Raspadskaya Coal Company, but these plans were cancelled in March 2022 due to the sanctions against Russia.[6]

The mine is said to have the most complex geological conditions in Kuzbass basin.[7]

Before 2019, Raspadskaya-Koksovaya mined coal using the board-and-pillar method of seam mining. The changeover to longwall technology made it possible to double the volume of coal production.[8]

In its 2021 annual report, Raspadskaya Coal Company states that an investment project will continue at the mine, aiming to transition to new reservoirs, maintain the current level of production and purchase equipment.[9]

In July 2022, there was a collapse at the mine resulting in 3 fatalities.[10]
