The Mezhdurechenskiy coal mine (разрез Междуречье) is a surface mine Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. Mezhdurechye owns and operates the mine. It used to be owned by Sibuglemet, whose majority shareholder was the State Development Corporation VEB.

Later in March 2022, VEB ceased to be the the 71% majority shareholder of the Novaya Gornaya Management Company LLC following the management buy-out of the company. Now 4 private individuals individuals each hold 17.6%.

Evraz was planning to acquire the assets of Sibuglemet in 2020, but this deal fell through. Evraz also used to manage Sibuglemet assets from 2015, the management services agreement was terminated in November 2020.
