Background

The Sinklinalny 2 coal mine (разрез Синклинальный-2) is a proposed coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. Polysaevskaya Coal Company LLC, part of the Zarechnaya Coal Company, bought the right to use the subsoil of the Sinklinalny 2 site in 2016.

In 2017, Zarechnaya Coal Company was announced bankrupt.

The Sinklinalny-2 coal mine project was mentioned in Russia's 'Programme for Coal Industry Development up to 2035', released in June 2020. Its reserves were estimated at 250 million tonnes, however no anticipated production capacity was mentioned separately for this proposed mine.

Later in 2020, Polysaevskaya Coal Company was announced bankrupt too.

As of October 2022, there were news on the sale of the rights to the project; it appeared that it is cancelled.
