A Coal Mine in Kazakhstan owned by Bogatyr Coal. Bogatyr Mine is divided into two complexes administratively: Bogatyrskey (Bogatyr mine itself) and Severny created on the basis of Severny Mine – the oldest mine of Ekibastuz coalfield. Today the old technology of coal mining is being converted to new, cycle-and-flow one stage-by-stage at Bogatyrskey complex using the hydraulic excavators, mine trucks, conveyors and conveyor loaders. The blending and dosed loading of coal to railway trains will be carried out at the Blending-and-Loading Complex according to the flow scheme.

The new automobile-and-railway technology of coal mining and transportation has been already implemented at Severny Complex; the use of the hydraulic excavators and mine trucks has been start here for the first time in the coal mining history. Coal is blended at the blending yard; it is shipped from stockpile to railway cars by bucket-wheel excavator. The project on mothballing of mining elevations on mining blocks 2 and 3 of Severny Complex is being implemented to form a temporary internal dump.
