The Yasynivska–Hlyboka coal mine is a coal mine located in the city of Makiivka, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. Yasynivska–Hlyboka represents one of the largest coal reserves in Ukraine, having estimated reserves of 41.5 million tonnes.[1] The annual coal production is around 434,000 tonnes. During the War in Donbas, the mine was captured and is currently under Russian control.
History
The Yasynivska–Hlyboka coal mine began operation in 1961. Initially, mining started at the 380 meter level. In December 1980, more production sections became operational at the 475 meter level.[1]
As at January 2000, the mine employed a total of 2,067 persons, including 1,605 underground mine workers.[1]
In December 2010, Yasynivska–Hlyboka coal mine was proposed for privatization by Ukraine's Ministry of Coal Industry among a list of 40 coal mines.[2]
In November 2016, the Donetsk People's Republic took control of the mine. It continued to operate under the new owner.[3]
Mining incident
In December 1986, an explosion in the mine killed 30 people and left 10 injured.[4]
In July 2006, a collapse occurred in the mine, trapping two miners beneath the debris. Four mountain rescue teams were sent to the mine and the miners have been successfully rescued from the rubble.[5]
