Background

The Sadkinskaya-Vostochnaya coal mine ("Sadkinskaya-Eastern", шахта Садкинская-Восточная ) is an underground mine in Ust-Donetsk District, Rostov Oblast, Russia. Shakhta Sadkinskaya-Vostochnaya LLC is owned by South Coal Company LLC ("Южная угольная компания"). South Coal Company also develops Sadkinskaya-Severnaya coal mine and operates the existing Sadkinskaya coal mine.[3]

The mine's projected capacity is 3 million tonnes.[4][5]

According to the Russian Government's 'Programme for the Coal Industry Development to 2035' from 2020, the project received a "positive conclusion" by the federal supervisory authority 'Glavgoseksperiza'.[4] As of 2020, a 110 kW electric substation with air transmission line and a temporary 7.9 km technological road from the Ust-Donetsk-Golubinka highway were built.[4] The company was working to attract financing for the project including the co-financing from Vneshekonombank.[4] Investment cost was estimated at RUB 9.9bn.[4]

1500 people will be employed by the mine.[5]

The mine has begun construction and is now scheduled for completion in 2024, according to the news report published in June 2021.[6] Two 4km tunnels providing access to the mine located at the depth 350m are seen in reports.[6][7]

In a report from August 2022, it was confirmed that construction was on-going, although with some delays due to various issues such as supply of equipment, geological conditions.[8] A media report from February 2023 referred to continued planned investments in the construction of the mine.[9] However it was later reported that works were suspended due to geological issues and in 2023, the mine was mothballed. The plan is to de-mothball the mine in the seocnd half of 2025.[10]
