Background

Yubileynaya coal mine (Юбилейная шахта) is an operating underground mine near the city of Novokuznetsk, in the Siberian region of Kemerovo, Russia. The Yubileynaya coal mine is owned and operated by Skahkta Yubileynaya LLC, which in turn is owned by TopProm.

Mining at Yubileynaya started in 1966 as Baydayevskaya-Severnaya No.1.

In 2007, 38 miners died in the mine following an explosion. From 2010 to 2013 the mine was mothballed. In February 2013, EVRAZ Group sold the mine to TopProm. In 2013 the mine was significantly upgraded. In 2016 regular coal output was restarted. The company's website and the government report refer to 2016 as the starting year of the mine.

The mine is part of a mining-and-washing complex, with 3 washing plants- Shchedrukhinskaya, Taibinskaya and Koksovaya.

In February 2021, one miner died following a collapse in the mine, but it resumed operations the next day.

In April 2022, mining operations were suspended for 90 days due to non-compliance with the safety requirements.

Fire incident was registered at the mine in October 2022, with no fatalities reported. In April 2023, more than 140 miners were evacuated due to elevated levels of gas pollution at the mine.

The mine's production in 2022 was 0.92 million tonnes, only 43% of 2021 level.

In January 2023 TopProm acquired the mothballed underground mine Abashevskaya, closed in 2014. Some remaining reserves of Abashevskaya may be accessed via Yubileynaya coal mine.

Mining works are frequently suspended by the State technical supervisory authority Rostechnadzor.

In May 2025, the mine reached 1 million tonnes extracted since the start of the year, with output from two active longwalls, 14-03 and 16-22. Longwall 16-22 was scheduled to be worked out by end of May 2025, with longwall 16-20 planned for launch in August 2025.

Annual 2023-2025 production levels were not available.

Methane Plumes Detected Nearby

Global Energy Monitor researchers analyze satellite-detected methane plumes in order to determine whether they have been observed at or near the site of GEM energy assets. The satellite data provider creates imagery of individual methane plumes and estimates their emission rates at the time of observation. GEM has reviewed many of these plume detections against Google Earth imagery and GEM’s own energy infrastructure tracker data. The following table lists methane plumes which are associated with the energy asset or facility based on distance and manual review. (A full description of the analysis process is available in the Global Methane Emitters Tracker methodology wiki page.)
