Russia's largest coal-mining technology fair returns to Novokuznetsk on 1–4 June 2027, with 500+ exhibitors across underground, open-pit and coal-preparation equipment.

Event overview
Coal and Mining 2027 — the 35th Ugol Rossii & Mining — brings the Russian coal and hard-rock mining supply chain to Novokuznetsk, in the heart of the Kuzbass coalfield, from 1 to 4 June 2027. Across indoor halls and a heavy-equipment yard at the Kuzbass Fair Exhibition Center, miners, processing plants, engineering contractors and equipment makers review underground and open-pit machinery, coal preparation, ventilation, safety and automation.
The 2026 edition drew 535 companies and 46,120 visitors, with Russian exhibitors from 64 cities. Buyers come from Kuzbass, Siberia, the Urals and neighbouring CIS markets to specify equipment and meet suppliers face to face.
TL;DR
Four days place every major underground, open-pit and coal-preparation supplier in one complex, next to the operators who run the Kuzbass mines. Technical staff can compare machinery in the outdoor yard and settle specifications with suppliers before the next budgeting cycle.
The audience is concentrated and technical: mine directors, chief mechanics and processing managers from Russia's main coal regions, plus Kazakh, Belarusian and Mongolian buyers. A stand here reaches decision-makers who rarely travel to Moscow for a general industrial fair.

Edition recap
The 34th edition ran from 2 to 5 June 2026 and brought 535 companies and 46,120 visitors to Novokuznetsk. The business programme included more than 40 forums, round tables and lectures, and the first Mining Fest public festival.
New this edition
Mining Fest
An industrial festival with equipment test drives, mineral displays and public activities, introduced at the 2026 edition.
SourceImpact
The show anchors the Kuzbass mining calendar. A 535-company, 46,000-visitor edition gives exhibitors enough density to meet most large coal operators in one trip, while the co-located safety and geology exhibitions widen the technical audience.
Audience quality
Visitors are overwhelmingly industry professionals: mine management, chief mechanics, processing engineers and procurement staff from Kuzbass, Siberia and the Urals, plus CIS delegations. The outdoor heavy-equipment yard makes the audience practical and specification-led rather than general public.
Exhibitor outcomes
Returns depend on qualifying mine-level buyers rather than raw footfall. Suppliers with Russian-language technical staff, spare-parts plans and service partners in Kuzbass can convert meetings into trials and tender invitations; equipment sellers without local support should expect a longer sales cycle.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Russia's coal industry is concentrating production in Kuzbass while rebuilding a supply chain after Western equipment makers withdrew. The show is where mine operators compare Russian, Chinese, Turkish and Indian machinery against real operating conditions, and where service and spare-parts agreements are negotiated.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Import substitution in mining equipment
Russian coal companies are qualifying Chinese, Turkish and domestic suppliers for roadheaders, hydraulic supports, conveyors and washing plant.
What it changes: Buyers arrive with active replacement budgets and want local service and spare-parts commitments, not just catalogue specifications.
Automation and remote monitoring
Mine operators are investing in conveyor monitoring, ventilation control, gas sensing and dispatch systems that reduce manual work underground.
What it changes: Digital and sensor suppliers can position alongside hardware makers as mines modernise without expanding headcount.
Coal preparation and quality control
With logistics costs rising, producers are upgrading washing and blending to lift calorific value and meet export specifications.
What it changes: Screening, dense-medium separation, dewatering and laboratory equipment have a clear upgrade story in Kuzbass.
Buyers sourcing for Russian and Central Asian mining projects can pair Novokuznetsk with a Moscow spring show and a Beijing autumn show. Dates for neighbouring events are indicative and should be confirmed with each organiser.
