The system of electronic trade OpenMarket has listed one of the oldest mines of the Central Donbass.

The Yuzhnaya mine is a part of the state enterprise Toretskugol. It was founded in 1877.

The mine is situated in the village of Yuzhnoye near the borders of the Toretsk city in Donetsk region.

In 2014 because of the military activities in the vicinity the mine was shut down.
