Background
The Pokrovs'ke coal mine is an underground coal mine in the south-east of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.
The mine is also known as Krasnoarmeyskaya-Zapadnaya No. 1 coal mine. The mine is owned by private joint-stock company Shakhtoupravleniye Pokrovske, an entity of Pokrovske Coal Company.
Based on a study from 2001, the mine represented one of the largest coal reserves in Ukraine having estimated reserves of 79.5 million tonnes.[4] The mine is also referred to as the Krasnoarmeyskaya-Zapadnaya No. 1 coal mine.
In 2021 Metinvest consolidated 100% of Pokrovske Coal Company.[5] As a result of consolidating the acquired businesses into the Group, Metinvest expected to become fully self-sufficient in coking coal for its hot metal production.[6]
The mine's buildings were shelled in June 2023 by Russian forces, with one fatality and several wounded.[7]
MetInvest's 3Q 2023 reports indicated that the mine is operating. Pokrovske Coal Company recorded a 33% rise in the output of coking coal concentrate for 9m 2023, reaching 2.4 million tonnes.[8] In 2022, coking coal concentrate production was 2.4 million tonnes.[9] However no ordinary coal production was reported in these reports.
A media source from November 2023 stated that the Pokrovske mine operates at reduced capacity due to the war and the inability to export products via traditional routes. However, from January to November 2023, workers managed to mine more than 5 million tons of coking coal. Part of the production goes to Ukrainian metallurgical plants, the rest goes to Eastern Europe.[10]
