Background

The Vostochno-Beisky coal mine (Восточно-Бейский разрез) is a surface mine located near Kirba, in Beysky District, Khakassia Republic, Russia. Vostochno-Beisky coal mine is owned and operated by Vostochno-Beisky Razrez LLC. The mine is 50% owned by SUEK Khakassiya LLC, a subsidiary of Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK) and 50% by Razrez Beysky LLC.[5][6][7]

As of 2020, about half of the coal produced was exported to Europe and Asia.[8][9]

In 2022, export volumes were likely to be lower than in the previous years as a result of EU sanctions, and a lack of transportation infrastructure from Khakassiya to allow a redirection of exports to Asian markets.[10]

In 2018, the mine had an expansion plan to 5 million tonnes per annum and construction of a new washing plant by 2021.[11] Public consultation on the environmental impact of the expansion in the sections Chalpan, Chalpan-2 and Chalpan-3 was announced in July 2021, citing planned coal extraction increase up to 6 million tonnes.[12]

As of mid-2022 and August 2023, both projects were still mentioned as development plans on SUEK's website.[9]

In August 2023, the construction of the washing plant with capacity of 4.05 Mtpa was approved.[13][14] There were no news on the expansion project.
