Background

Sayano-Partizanskiy Coal Mine (Саяно-Партизанский разрез) is a surface mine in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. The mine is owned and operated by Razrez Sayano-Partizanskiy LLC, which is owned by Russian Coal.

Mining commenced in 1991, but because of the unstable economical situation the mine was mothballed and only in 2003 the mining operations were resumed.

The Sayano-Partizanskiy coal mine is different from the other mines in the Kansk-Achinsk basin as it produces Bituminous coal while the other mines mostly produce Lignite coal.

The capacity of the mine is 3 million tonnes per annum. Actual production has been lower, 1.3 million tonnes in 2020, 1.05 million tonnes over 10 months in 2021, 1 million tonnes during 9 months of 2022. Production in the first half of 2023 reached 0.6 million tonnes and as of August 2023, it planned to achieve 1.35 Mt production in the whole year.

Coal is used domestically but is also exported to the Asian-Pacific markets. In 2023, about 70% of coal was exported.

In August 2023 the coal mine commenced work in a new section with a plan to increase production to 1.5 Mt.
