Background
The Zarechny Coal Mine (разрез Заречный) is an operating surface coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.
The Zarechny coal mine is owned and operated by SUEK-Kuzbass JSC, a subsidiary of the Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK).
The mine was put in operation by SUEK around 2003 with the production of 1.5 million tonnes per year with a plan to reach the design capacity of 2 million tonnes.[4]
In 2017, the company announced several projects that would increase the capacity of the Zarechny coal mine to 6 mtpa, such as the purchase of seven heavy-duty dump trucks with a payload capacity of 220 tonnes, which allowed the company to increase the efficiency of freight transportation.[5]
This program to update equipment continued through 2018 and 2019, with a new electrohydraulic excavator, drilling rigs, wheel loaders, and a crawler dozer all bought for the facility. In 2018, $17.4 million in total was invested in the development of the Zarechny coal mine and in 2019, the investment was expected to exceed $38 million.[6] Additionally, SUEK was developing a new site at the Zarechny open-pit mine.[6] The new section Zarechny-Severny was commissioned in 2018.[7]
In 2021, the main section of the coal mine achieved production of over 4 million tonnes, while Zarechny-Severny section added another 2 million, with joint production exceeding 6 million tonnes.[7]
Over January-June 2022, production contracted to 2.8 million tonnes, 500 thousand tonnes lower than in the same period in 2021.[8]
