Background

Pervomayskaya (May Day) coal mine (шахта Первомайская) is an underground mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.

(It is not to be confused with Pervomaisky coal mine, a surface mine also in Kemerovo Oblast.) Pervomayskaya coal mine is owned and operated by a branch of Severny Kuzbass Coal Company JSC, a subsidiary of TalTEK. TalTEK acquired Severny Kuzbass in 2019. In April 2023 media sources announced that Taltek is selling Severny Kuzbass to a private entrepreneur Stanislav Lupiy. However no official deal documents have been prepared at the time. The change of ownership then took place.

In 2020, the mine has celebrated its 45th year of operations, producing almost 47 million tonnes of coal in total.

Extracted coal is delivered to the washing plant 'Severnaya'. The enriched coal is then sold on to metallurgical and coke-chemical facilities in Russia.

The mine's initial capacity was 1.8 million tonnes per year.
