Background

The Razrez Raspadsky coal mine (разрез Распадский) is a surface mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia.

It is part of the Raspadskaya coal mining complex. Raspadskaya PJSC, a subsidiary of Evraz, operates the entire Raspadskaya coal mining complex. Evraz announced in December 2021 that it was planning to spin off Raspadskaya Coal Company, but these plans were cancelled in March 2022 due to the sanctions against Russia.

The Razrez Raspadsky coal mine has 4 Mtpa of capacity, according to the company's website. The mine produces coking coal. Mining is mainly performed by the traditional open method as coal seams lie at a large slope. As of mid-2022, coal from the mine was supplied to metallurgical companies in Russia as well as exported to Asia-Pacific countries through the ports in Russia's Far East.

In 2021 the mine produced 3.2 million tonnes of coal, while 2020 production was 0.9 million tonnes. Production was suspended in 2020 due to weak market conditions, but operations were resumed in the end of 2020. According to the company's 2021 annual report, an investment project was approved for the acquisition of electric excavator to replace the diesel-hydraulic excavator and two output machines. The mine's production increased significantly in 2022 reaching 4.7 million tonnes.

In March 2024, new equipment was being delivered to the mine. 2023 and 2024 production levels were not known.
