Background
The Tamnava-West coal mine is a surface mine near Mali Borak, Serbia.
The Tamnava-West coal mine is part of Kolubara Mine Complex.
It is located in the Western part of the basin and started operations in 1994. Tamnava East section ceased operations in late 2000s.[4][5]
The Tamnava-West coal mine is the largest producer of coal in Serbia which is essential for the power generation in the country.
It has nine continuous systems, from which eight have bucket wheel excavators and one has a bucket chain excavator.[6] Heavy rainfall caused major floods in 2014, all surface mines were flooded, along with the continuous mining equipment. Coal production dropped from 14.6 million tonnes in 2013 to 5.9Mt in 2014. However the rehabilitation and equipment revitalization were successful because the mine recovered fast and coal production rose to 11.4 million tonnes in 2015.[6]
In 2022 it was reported that the power plants experienced issues with the coal quality from Kolubara mines, in particular coal from Tamnava-West Coal Mine which is mixed with soil which is almost impossible to remove.[7]
