Background
The Kaa-Khemsky coal mine (Каа-Хемский разрез) is an operating surface mine in Tuva Republic, Russia. The Kaa-Khemsky coal mine is owned and operated by Tuva Mining Company, which is believed to be part of Vostsibugol as it was listed on its website.[2][3] In turn Vostisubugol is a subsidiary of En+ Group.[4]
However another source stated that the company is owned by Cyprus-registered Vukelich Limited[5][6] and Vostsibugol is only the manager of the coal mines. [7]
Until 2003, the Kaa-Khemsky open-pit mine was as a federal-owned enterprise. That year, it was reorganized into the Kaa-Khemsky open joint-stock company with 100% state capital, which was managed by the Federal Property Management Agency. The Kaa-Khemsky coal mine went bankrupt in 2004-2005.[8] In 2009, the mine was auctioned off and acquired by Tuva Mining Company.[8]
Tuva Mining Company operates another surface mine Chadansky coal mine. The two mines are the only coal supplier in the Republic of Tuva.[9][10] Joint production of the two mines in 2020 was 0.536 million tonnes.[11][10] Information on production is limited, but a media source from December 2022 reported that production of the two mines is about 0.5 million tonnes.[12]
In 2020, an expansion of 0.6 mtpa was proposed.[13] With no news on the project as of August 2023, it is considered Shelved.
