Background

Yalevsky coal mine (шахта Ялевского) is an underground coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. The Yalevsky coal mine is a combination of two mines which were joint in 2016, the Kotinskaya mine and the Yalevsky mine (former No. 7 mine). [4]

The construction of the Kotinskaya mine began in 1994, construction was then frozen until 2001 and the mine was commissioned in 2004.[4] No. 7 coal mine was commissioned in 2000 with capacity of 2.8 million tonnes of coal per year.[5] In 2005 the No. 7 mine became part of SUEK.[5] In November 2014 mine No. 7 was renamed after V. D. Yalevsky.[5]

As of 2017, produced coal was mostly exported to European and Asian markets.[6]

In 2013 a methane flare in a conveyor drift killed 8 miners and halted production for almost 12 months.[7]

SUEK invested 10 billion roubles (more than $145 million) in the Yalevsky mine between 2013 and 2018.[8] SUEK's 2021 annual report mentioned the Yalevsky mine as a high-potential mining asset that they will develop further.[9]

In the first half of 2022, production at the Yalevsky coal mine reduced significantly compared to the same period last year, by 1.8 million tonnes to 3.3 million tonnes.[10] This suggests that 6m 2021 production was 5.1 million tonnes.[11] No annual production figure is available for 2022.

In 2022, the mine has been developing a large-scale longwall launched in the end of 2019, as well a preparing a new longwall N52-15 with reserves of 10 million tonnes.[10]

In May 2023, a new longwall was launched at the mine with reserves of 6.9Mt and another longwall was in the process of commissioning.[12]
