The Pivdennodonbaska 1 coal mine (« № 1») is a large coal mine located in the south-east of Ukraine in Donetsk Oblast. Pivdennodonbaska 1 represents one of the largest coal reserves in Ukraine, having estimated reserves of 69.3 million tonnes. The annual coal production of the mine is around 1.2 million tonnes, representing approximately 10% of Ukraine's total coal output. It operates at a depth of up to 620 metres, and was recognised as a prospective enterprise following an efficiency audit in both 2015 and 2018. In September 2024, the mine was captured by Russian Armed Forces following the assault on Vuhledar, and it remains under Russian occupation as of 2026.
