Background
Tomusinsky coal mine (Томусинский разрез) is an operating surface mine next to the town of Mezdurechensk, in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.
The Tomusinsky coal mine is owned and operated by Southern Kuzbass Coal Company, a company of Mechel. The Southern Kuzbass Coal Company joined Mechel Group in 2003.[4]
The mine started operations in 1959. There is one license for this mine and Mechel believe there is enough coal to continue mining until 2026[5] (as of the end of 2021, reduced from the previous estimate of 2028).[6]
This mine is situated in a heavily mined area of the Kuzbass coal field. Local residents complain about the dust from the mines affecting the water, their health and preventing them from growing food. Wildlife has fled and the area is dominated by the mines and their waste heaps.[7]
Southern Kuzbass Coal Mines
The Southern Kuzbass mines include four surface mines and three underground mines. All mines are located in southeast Kuzbass around the town of Mezhdurechensk. The Southern Kuzbass mines and the related washing plants produce semi-soft and semi-hard coking coal, anthracite, PCI and steam coal. The Kuzbass operations are connected by rail to the Trans-Siberian Mainline and substantially all products are shipped by rail. Products are generally shipped by rail to Russian customers, to northwestern Russian ports for European customers, to Port Posiet and Port Vanino for export to Asia and to Port Temryuk for customers in the Black Sea and Mediterranean basins.[5]
As of January 1, 2021, in-situ reserves at Southern Kuzbass's seven coal mines are estimated at about 1.8 billion tonnes. The project capacity of the company’s mines total 15 million tonnes annually, while washing capacity totals 17 million tonnes.[8]
