Background

The Karakansky South coal mine (Караканский Южный разрез) is a surface coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. The Karakansky South coal mine is owned and operated by a branch of Kuzbass Fuel Company (Kuzbasskaya Toplivnaya Company JSC, or KTK). In December 2022, Omega LLC acquired 99.66% in KTK from Millfast Trading Limited, Kilton Overseas Limited and Daenia Holdings Limited, the transaction has been approved by the Russian President, Vladimir Putin.[4] This is part of Russia's response to nationalise energy companies previously held in foreign jurisdictions.[5]

KTK also operates Vinogradovsky coal mine, Cheremshansky coal mine, Bryansky coal mine, Listvyanichny coal mine in close proximity.[6]

The Karakansky-South mine was commissioned in 2000 with initial capacity of 1.7 million tonnes per annum. After receiving the licenses for the sections Karakansky South -1 and Karakansky South-2, the capacity increased to 3 million tonnes.[7]

Based on KTK's 2022 annual report, the Bryansky section is now referred to as part of the Karakansky South coal mine with joint capacity of 4 million tonnes.[8] Production is now reported only for Karakansky-South coal mine[8], presumably jointly with the Bryansky. Previously Bryansky and Karakansky South were reported separately.[9][10]

In 2021, 44 safety violations were recorded at the mine and its operations were suspended for 60 days.[11]
