UrBC, Yekaterinburg, October 27, 2016. EVRAZ Holding’s Raspadskaya Mine started working on a new long-face 4-10-29 with surveyed potential of more than 2.7 tons of GZh coal, EVRAZ Holding Siberia’s press office reports.

‘The preparations were made in full compliance with all the industrial and job safety requirements; some 10,000 meters of mine space got cleared, with all the excessive gas removed and the necessary ventilation installed. The coal will get extracted with the help of the most advanced equipment. Ventilation, degassing, dust-catching and fire-fighting devices are to ensure complete safety of the process,’ the press office says.

Raspadskaya miners are currently working on three long-faces (5a-7-30, 5a-10-20, and 4-10-29) located at layers where coal is particularly suitable for coking and has low ash content. The overall output comes to over 600,000,000 kg a month. This is the valuable GZh coal that gets supplied to coal enterprises in Russia, Ukraine, and Southeast Asia.
