Background
The Sadkinskaya coal mine (шахта Садкинская) is an operating underground coal mine located in Rostov Oblast, Russia. The Sadkinskaya coal mine is an operating underground anthracite coal mine. It is owned and operated by Shakhtouprvaleniye Sadkinskoe LLC[10], a subisidary of South Coal Company LLC[11] and is its only producing asset.[12] South Coal Company is developing two neighbouring mines - Sadkinskaya-Severnaya coal mine and Sadkinskaya-Vostochnaya coal mine.
Access to the mine is via railcars in a tunnel of 2.5km.[13][14]
A washing plant was commissioned in 2017.[15]
In 2020 about Rub2 billion were invested in the mine to support the expansion of the new mining area and to continue modernising the existing operations. These investments supported the production increase in 2021.[15]
The mine produced 2.5 million tonnes in 2021, which was a record high level.[12]
In 2024, the mine produced over 2 million tonnes of coal.[16]
Incidents
In April 2025, a rock collapse occurred in a preparatory face at the mine, trapping two miners at a depth of approximately 125 metres. The remaining 73 workers present at the time were evacuated to the surface. Rescue teams drilled a bypass tunnel, and both miners were brought to the surface alive next day after spending approximately 24 hours underground. A criminal case was opened under the article on violation of industrial safety requirements. The mine resumed operations shortly after the incident.[17][18]
