The Bogatyr mine, with a design capacity of 50 million tons of coal per year, was built in nine stages from 1965 to 1979. In 1985, the maximum annual productivity was reached — 56.8 million tons of coal. A section of such a large unit capacity was built for the first time in the world and according to this indicator in 1985 was listed in the Guinness Book of Records. The miners of this particular section had the honor of shipping a billion tons of coal mined at the Ekibastuz field in 2000. Bogatyr Komir is one of the largest enterprises in the world leading open—pit coal mining.
