About Poplar River Mine
Poplar River Mine
The Poplar River Mine is a 7,488 Ha. surface strip mine located in South Central Saskatchewan near the town of Coronach. The mine operates two active pits and supplies lignite coal to the two generating units at the Poplar River Power Station which is owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Power Corporation. The mine has been supplying coal to the station since 1978.
Coal is uncovered using two draglines (model: BE2570-W). The exposed coal is hauled from the pits to a loadout facility, where it is loaded into rail cars and hauled by rail to the power station, about 20 kilometers away. Annual coal production at the Poplar River Mine varies from 2.3 to 3.4 million tonnes. The current coal supply agreement for the mine expires in 2029.
Poplar River Mine owns and operates the railway from the mine to the generating station, which happens to be the longest privately-owned short-line rail in Western Canada.
