Background
The Alardinskaya coal mine (шахта Алардинская) is an underground coal mine in the Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.
The mine is part of the Yuzhkuzbassugol coal mining complex, which was acquired by Raspadskaya coal mining complex in 2020.[9] The mine is owned by Skakhta Alardinskaya LLC (ООО "Шахта Алардинская"), a subsidiary of Raspadskaya Coal Company which in turn is owned by EVRAZ. [9] 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.[10][11]
60% of coal is supplied to Evraz ZSMK steel plant and 40% to Raspadskaya washing plant. The steel business of EVRAZ, coke-chemical and steel mills are the main customers of the mine.[12]
In 2022, production was 1.7 million tonnes[13], significantly lower than in 2021 when production reached 3.2 million tonnes.[11][13] The company attributed the decrease in production to increased methane content in coal seams as well as difficult geological conditions.[13]
Safety and Working Conditions
In February 2003, a methane outbreak killed 2 miners and 11 were hospitalized.[14][15]
In November 2021, miners were evacuated due to smoke. There were no casualties.[16]
An article from August 2022 referred to 8 active underground fires in the mines of Kuzbass, including at Alardinskaya, as detected by the Federal Authority for Technical Supervision 'RostechNadzor'. The fires were being managed, but not fully eliminated.[17]
In January 2023, it was reported that the operations of the mine were temporarily suspended following the inspection by Rostechnadzor as the mine was gassed for more than 30 minutes and was also under a risk of dust explosion.[18] Later in June 2023, operations were suspended again for 30 days due to severe safety violations.[19]
