- Southern Kuzbass Coal Company Public Joint-Stock Company operates as a leading coal mining and processing enterprise headquartered in the Kemerovo region of Russia, specializing in the production of coking coal and steam coal. Founded in 1993 through the merger of several mining and processing companies, it functions as a subsidiary of Mechel PAO. The company’s core products include semi-soft and semi-hard coking coal, anthracite, pulverized coal injection (PCI) grade coal, and thermal steam coal, produced through its three underground mines, four open-pit mines, and four washing plants concentrated around Mezhdurechensk in the Kuzbass region. Southern Kuzbass supplies coal primarily to Russian customers and exports via rail connections to north-western Russian ports, Port Posiet and Port Vanino for Asia, and Port Temryuk for the Black Sea and Mediterranean markets. Recent major developments include the commissioning in 2025 of a new 1.4 million tonne coal face at the Sibirginskaya deep mine with advanced mining equipment that meets current health and safety standards, reflecting the company’s ongoing investment in production capacity and operational efficiency. In 2024-2025, Southern Kuzbass experienced leadership changes, with Alexei Tikhonsky being appointed general director after multiple executive transitions within a year. The company reported a coal production increase from 6.37 million tonnes in 2022 to 7.3 million tonnes in 2023 but faced a 19% reduction in the first half of 2024 due to market challenges. Southern Kuzbass has also pursued strategic acquisitions, including an additional 13.39% stake in OJSC Razrez Tomusinsky from Mechel for RUB 2.2 billion, expanding its asset base. Operating primarily in the mining sector within the Kuzbass coal basin, Southern Kuzbass targets steelmakers and industrial consumers by delivering various grades of coal used in metallurgy and energy. The company maintains extensive in-situ coal reserves estimated at around 1.8 billion tonnes as of 2021, supporting a project capacity of approximately 15 million tonnes annually with washing capacities of up to 17 million tonnes. Its operations contribute significantly to the Kemerovo region's economy and form a critical part of Russia’s coal export infrastructure. Southern Kuzbass continues to align with Mechel's broader strategic objectives by enhancing production capabilities and expanding export commitments.
