Background

The Shestaki coal mine (разрез Шестаки) is an operating surface coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. Mining began at the Shestaki coal mine in 1970. The mine joined the Stroyservis group in 2000.

It produces around 0.9 million tonnes of coal per year.

In 2018, they planned to put into operation the Ubinsky section. This has been achieved and Stroyservis is reporting some environmental indicators and explosion activity separately for this section from 2017/2018.

There was also an official announcement about the addition of the Ubinsky section in 2018. RUB 3.5 billion was invested in the development of the site. The funds were used to purchase equipment (excavators, dump trucks, auxiliary equipment), build a 32 MW substation, power transmission lines, roads, a coal storage facility, and treatment facilities.

The border of the Ubinsky section is 1.3km from the village of Novorossiyka, the company states that any housing structures are outside of the border of the mine.
