Raspadskaya will pay in excess of $1 billion to more than double output in five years, it said Tuesday.
The company plans $976 million of capital spending and $54.8 million for maintenance through 2015. Output will reach 18.5 million tons in 2015, up from 7.2 million last year.
The producer of coal for steelmaking fell from Russia's second to fifth biggest after blasts at its main mine that killed 90 people in May. It shut its main mine for seven months and halted exports after the explosions. The company plans to resume shipments abroad this year.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
