Mine Life20 years (as of Jan 1, 2022)
Karaganda Coal Mines has eight underground coal mines, named Kostenko, Kuzembaeva, Saranskaya, Abayskaya, Kazakhstanskaya, Lenina, Shakhtinskaya and Tentekskaya and operates two coal preparation plants (CPP “Vostochnaya” and Temirtau Washery-2).

The subsoil use contract and license for all coal mines in Karaganda was renewed with the Government of Kazakhstan in 2022 and the license is issued with a validity period of 20 years.

All eight coal mines are production stage underground mines and are captive to the Temirtau steel operations, since entering the structure of Ispat-Karmet JSC, Coal Division (now ArcelorMittal Temirtau JSC, Coal Division) in 1996. All of the mines are operated by ArcelorMittal Temirtau JSC, Coal Division.

Summary:

The coal mines of ArcelorMittal Temirtau are located in the Karaganda Coal Basin. The basin is more than 3,000 square kilometers and was formed by strata of Upper Devonian and Carbonic ages, Mesozoic and Cainozoic formations. Due to structural peculiarities, the coal basin is divided into three geology-based mining areas. ArcelorMittal Temirtau's coal mining operations are performed in the three distinct mining areas: Karagandinskiy (Kostenko, Kuzembayeva, and Saranskaya mines), Sherubay-Nurinskiy (Abayskaya and Shakhtinskaya mines) and Tentekskiy (Kazakhstanskaya, Lenina, and Tentekskaya mines).

Karaganda basin is located on the area of the same name and in the center of this region. Four synclines are notable in the basin: Tentek, Sherubainur, Karaganda and Verkhnesokursk, first three of them make an industrial part of basin and are studied full enough up to the depths 700- 1300m.

Productive sediments are represented by Ashlyarik , Karaganda, Dolinsk and Tentek series which contain up to 30 coal seams with the total working thickness 40m, coal ash content varies within the limits of 10-35 % with the tendency of reduction upwards the section. The most-widely spread are coals of types from hvBb to mvb. Karaganda basin is considered as a high gas content and gas content seams intensively grow from the beginning of methane zone up to 400-500m reaching 15-20 m3/t, and are more stabilized on the depth within the limits of 22-27 m3/t.

Mining Methods

  • Longwall


Summary:

ArcelorMittal Temirtau has eight underground coal mines located in and around Karaganda in Kazakhstan: Kostenko, Kuzembaeva, Saranskaya, Abayskaya, Kazakhstanskaya, Lenina, Shakhtinskaya and Tentekskaya.

In all mines, coal mining is carried out by longwall and development production faces. The produced coal is transported via belt infrastructure and skip shafts to the surface. From there, ROM coal is dispatched via a rail network to coal preparation plants (Vostochnaya and Temirtau) for processing.

Reserves at December 31, 2022:
Mineral reserves of coal for all Kazakhstan-Karaganda mines are estimated based on a price of $128 per tonne of clean coal, and a minimum coal yield of 25.2% for the life of mine of 20 years. The ash cut-off grade applied at the Kazakhstanskaya, Lenina, Shakhtinskaya and Tentekskaya mines is 57% Ash with yield of 48.42% at average and the cut-off grade applied at the Saranskaya, Kuzembaeva, Kostenko and Abayskaya mines is 46% Ash and yield of 36.7% at average. The minimum seam thickness cut-off used for all mines is 0.70 m.

Mineral resources of coal for the Kazakhstan-Karaganda mines are estimated by applying an ash cut-off grade of 40% Ash, a coal seam dip of less than 30°, and a minimum coal seam thickness of 0.70 m. limited to coal that after the application of modifying factors, could meet the mineral reserves maximum raw ash and a minimum coal yield of 25.2%
