NLMK Wins Bid to Develop Usinsk Coal Deposit #3 in Komi Republic
01/24/2011 - NLMK has won the right to develop the third mining area in the Usinsk coal deposit (Usinks-3) following a competition organized by the Subsoil Agency of Russia’s Komi Republic.
NLMK has won the right to develop the third mining area in the Usinsk coal deposit (Usinks-3) located in the north of the Komi Republic in Russia.
The Usinsk-3 deposit has over 227 million tonnes of on-balance reserves of high-quality hard coking coal (grades Zh and KZh, Russian categories of reserves C1+C2). Within the next seven years, NLMK plans to complete geological exploration activities, draw up a technical design for the commercial development of the deposit and launch the construction of a mining facility. Mine commissioning is planned for 2016, reaching the design capacity of approximately 4.5 million tonnes in 2018. As part of the development, approximately 3 km of railway line will be constructed, connecting the facility to Kyk-Shor station.
The Usinsk deposit is located in the north-western part of the Pechora coal province, 45 km south-west of the Vorkuta deposit in the territory of the Komi Republic. The Kyk-Shor railway station is located within the field boundaries, 56 km from Vorkuta.
“This step is completely in line with our strategy aimed at enhancing the long-term efficiency and sustainability of our business by increasing integration into the production of high-quality raw materials,” said Alexey Lapshin, President of NLMK.
