Background
The Luhanske Coal Mine is an underground mine operation in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine.
According to the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, most Donbas region mines were seized by Russians and pro-Russian rebels in late 2014 and many have endured electricity shortages and flooding ever since. The current output of the Donbas mines, including this one, is no longer transparent, and many are likely non-operational and on hiatus.[2] The Luhanske coal mine is an underground coal mine. It is operated by Luhansk Coal (Luhanskvugglia), a state-owned company that since 2014 has been folded into Tsentrugol, the "State Unitary Enterprise" of the Luhansk People's Republic rebel government.[3][4]
On July 4, 2014, due to active military actions, coal mining at the mine administration was completely stopped. During 2014, the mine was subjected to massive shelling by the armed forces of Ukraine. As a result of the shelling, buildings and structures were damaged. From July 19, 2014 to January 12, 2015, there was a power outage, which led to flooding of the mine workings at the 680 m level of the Mashinskaya part of the mine, as well as the 790 m and 530 m levels of the Luganskaya mine. In December 2019, the restored Mashinskaya mine resumed coal mining.[5]
According to a Ukrainian source from 2020, the mine was planned for closing in 2021.[6]
In December 2021, the mine's main drainage pumps were stopped and since January 2022, the entire staff was dismissed or reassigned to the Belorechenskaya and Sutogan mines.[7]
As of October 2022, fire was reported on the territory of the mine although it was already not producing.[5]
Characteristics
The design capacity is 1 million 800 thousand per year, production capacity is 1.5 million tons. The maximum working depth is 830 meters. The length of underground workings is 144.2/107.9 km (1990/1999). The mine is supercategory . Seams l 1 , l 6 n with a thickness of 0.75-0.95 m and 1.05-1.2 m with a dip angle of 4-13 ° are mined. The seams are hazardous due to coal dust explosions. The processing plant at the mine had a capacity of 3 million tons of coal per year. The main shaft in the main area is ventilated using the VRIA fan, the ventilation is using the VTsD 33 fan unit, the shafts are located at an altitude of +94 meters above sea level, at the Mashinsky block +140 meters above sea level.[5]
In 2011, 779 thousand tons were mined.[5]
