Background
The Vostochny coal mine (разрез Восточный) is an operating surface coal mine in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia. The Vostochny coal mine was owned and operated by SibAnthracite Group, which was acquired by A-Property in 2021.[10] Following the completion of the sale transaction, in 2022 A-Property consolidated the coal assets of Sibanthracite Group and A-Property under the new management company Elga-Sibanthracite (ELSI).[11]
Operations at the Vostochny coal mine began in 2016.[12] Production capacity has expanded rapidly. In 2016, it produced 1.17 million tons of anthracite coal.[13] In 2017, 4.04 million tons of coal were mined, and in 2018, 6.3 million tonnes.[14] In 2020, production reached 5.683 million tonnes[15], increasing to 7.9 million tonnes in 2022[16] and 8.3 million tonnes in 2023.[17]
Expansion
The expansion project for the mine was mentioned in Russia's 'Programme for Coal Industry Development up to 2035', released in June 2020.[18] The Programme referred to an increase of capacity up to 10 mtpa, already by 2020.[13] The Programme stated that project documents have been completed, a building permit obtained, and "a positive conclusion was received from the state and environmental assessments" for the expansion."[18] As of October 2022 and July 2023, there was no further news on the expansion.
Given production increases in 2022 and 2023 reaching 8.3 million tonnes in 2023, it appeared that the expansion project is on track with some delays. A media report from January 2024 referred to planned increase of production of 20% in 2024 for the two mines in Novosibirsk.[19] For the Vostochny coal mine, 20% increase in production implies reaching 10 million tonnes in 2024. It therefore appeared that the implementation of the expansion is on track.
