Background
The Uskovskaya coal mine (Усковская шахта) is an underground coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.
It is part of the Yuzhkuzbassugol coal mining complex. Raspadskaya PJSC, a subsidiary of Evraz, operates the mine and the whole Yuzhkuzbassugol coal mining complex.
Evraz announced in December 2021 that it is planning to spin off Raspadskaya, but these plans were cancelled in March 2022 due to the sanctions against Russia.[4]
The Uskovskaya coal mine was initially called Ulyanovskaya mine. Following a tragic accident in 2007 when 110 miners died, the coal mine was mothballed. In 2009 the mine was joined together with the mine Yubileynaya. In 2012, it was renamed as Uskovskaya.[5]
The designed capacity of the mine is 3 Mtpa.[6] In 2021, the mine commissioned a new longwall with 25 years of reserves.[7] Additional infrastructure was built to transfer coal mining to a new seam and new treatment and tunnelling equipment was installed. This all made it possible to extend the life of the mine until at least 2035.[7] Another new longwall was planned to be opened in June 2023.[8]
One fatality at the mine was reported in 2022.[9]
