Background
The Urtuysky Coal Mine (Уртуйское месторождение) is an operating surface coal mine in Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia. The Urtuysky coal mine is a surface coal mine. It is owned by Priargunsky Industrial Mining and Chemical Association (PIMCU), which is part of Rosatom.[10]
The mine has a capacity of 4.5 million tonnes per year[11], but it appears that it has reduced as PIMCU's 2021 Annual Report referred to capacity of 3.5 million tonnes.[12]
Production in 2020 was 2.9 million tonnes.[13] The same level of production was achieved in 2021, of which 1.7 was supplied to power plants within PIMCU's group and the rest to other domestic consumers.[12] Krasnokamenskaya CHP is the main consumer.[14] 2023 production was over 3 million tonnes.[15] In early 2024, the mine extracted its 100-millionth tonne of coal since operations began in 1993. By the end of February 2024, output for the year had reached 498,700 tonnes.[16] No annual production figures for 2024 or 2025 were publicly disclosed.
Existing reserves of 35 million tonnes allow the mine to continue producing until 2034.[12]
