Background

Sibenergougol Coal Mine (Сибэнергоуголь) consists of several surface mines in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.[8] Sibenergougol LLC operates several mine segments, including Ananinsky-Zapadny, Bungurskiy-Yuzhny, Ananinsky-Zapadny-2, and Bungurskiy-Yuzhny-2.[9][10][11][12] Information is presented jointly for these mines due to the lack of detailed information.

Sibenergougol LLC was acquired by MelTEK in 2020, 575 people worked on site.[8]

Mining operations began at section Ananinsky in 2005 with capacity of 0.3 million tonnes. In 2007 the company acquired new licensed sections Bungursky-Yuzhny and Ananinsky-Zapadny which started operations in 2011 and 2014, respectively. By 2015 the capacity reached 2 million tonnes per annum. In 2014 the company acquired licenses for the sections 'Bungursky-Yuzhny-2' and 'Ananisnky-Zapadny-2'.[8]

Production in 2019 was 1.3 million tonnes, down from 1.6 million tonnes in 2018.[13]

It appears that the new mine Bungursky-Yuzhny-2 has started operations in 2022, following a positive opinion by the Federal Technical Supervisory Board[14] on the compliance of the completed Phase-1 of the project with technical documentation, while the nearby Bungursky-Yuzny will be liquidated.[15] This is despite opposition by the local residents concerned about the air quality in the city of Novokuznetsk which is already surrounded by 7 surface mines. [16]

Local residents of the village Apanas had also protested against the the mine as it would destroy the road connecting the village with another town.[17]

Mulitple violations of safety were detected at the mining sections in October 2022. The company had to pay a fine and was banned from mining coal for 90 days at a section of the Ananyinsky Zapadny section over 500 metres long.[18] In July 2023 it was reported that the Novokuznetsk District Court has suspended mining operations of Sibenergougol presumably at all mining sections), due to industrial safety violations, conducting mining in the dangerous zones and non-compliance with design solutions. The company was sentenced to administrative suspension for conducting open-pit mining operations, tentatively for 90 days.[19]

In the first half of 2022, production by Sibenergougol coal mines reached 1.7 million tonnes, which is almost 3x more than in the same period in 2021.[20] This was presumably due to the start of operations at Bungursky-Yuzhny-2 section.[15] However the same source but in local language stated that production in the first half was 0.55 million tonnes.[21]

Given total reported production by MelTEK's mines of 3.47 million tonnes in 2022 (inlcuding Sibenenergougol, Kiselevsky coal mine, Prokopyevsky coal mine and Stepanovsky coal mine),[22] it appeared that Sibenergougol produced about 1.1 million tonnes in 2022.[22][21]

In July 2023, the operations of the mine were suspended for 3 months due to severe safety violations.[23] In 2024, the mine's capacity was stated at 2 Mtpa. [24]
