From 2005 to 2011, Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK OJSC) commissioned SRK to prepare JORC Code-compliant Resource and Reserve statements for its coal mining assets in the Russian Federation. In 2011, SUEK operated 17 underground mines and 12 open pits, producing both lignite and hard thermal coal, along with associated coal washing operations. The sites were spread over seven regions from the Kuznetsk Basin in central Siberia to the Far East. SRK mobilised several multidisciplinary teams from the UK, US and Russian practices to undertake extensive site visits and hold detailed due diligence meetings at SUEK’s head offices in Moscow.
