Russian authorities have started denying coalminers new licenses because of the accident and safety risks.

MMK and PMH are operating at the Nikitinskiy Verkhniy site in Kuzbass – the former has some 130 million tons of deposits, while the latter intends to start mining at the site with 200 million tons.

But the Ministry of energy is against giving licenses for mining because of the high risks and large stocks of coking coal in Russia. (Ukrainian metal)
