Yubileynaya mine

Location of Kemerovo Oblast, Russia

The Yubileinaya mine is a coal mine in the Kemerovo Oblast area of Siberia, Russia. The mine is operated by Yuzhkuzbassugol, part owned by the Evraz Group who plan to take full ownership.[1]

On May 24, 2007, a methane explosion at the mine killed 38 miners and injured a further 7,[2] one of whom subsequently died.[3] Investigators believe that the explosion was caused by a spark from a damaged cable.[3]
