Background
The Vinogradovsky coal mine (Виноградовский разрез) is a surface coal mine in Kemerovo, Russia. The mine is owned by Kuzbass Fuel Company (Kuzbasskaya Toplivnaya Company JSC, or KTK).[9] In December 2022, Omega LLC acquired 99.66% in KTK from Millfast Trading Limited, Kilton Overseas Limited and Daenia Holdings Limited, the transaction was approved by the Russian President, Vladimir Putin.[10] This was part of Russia's response to nationalise energy companies previously held in foreign jurisdictions.[11]
Information disclosure has reduced since KTK was delisted from the Moscow Stock Exchange in 2021.[12] As of 2021, about 75% of KTK production was exported.[13] Vinogradovsky Razrez includes 4 sections - the Vinogradovsky coal mine, Bryansky coal mine, Cheremshansky coal mine and Listvyanichny coal mine.[14]
New transportation equipment was delivered to the mine in April 2023.[15]
The mine produced 4.55 million tonns of coal in 2021, 3.89 million tonns in 2022, 4.21 million tonns in 2023 and 1.85 million tonns in 2024.[16][17]
Incidents, Safety Inspections and Regulatory Violations
A fatality was reported at the mine in 2020 when a rock section collapsed and buried a loading truck with one driver inside.[18]
In March 2025, Russia’s Federal Service for Environmental, Technological, and Nuclear Supervision (Rostechnadzor) conducted an unscheduled inspection at several coal mines operated by Kuzbass Fuel Company, including the Vinogradovsky coal mine. The inspection identified a total of 54 violations of industrial safety requirements across the company’s operations. The violations included deviations from approved mine development documentation, shortcomings in engineering-geological and hydrogeological assessments, non-compliant operation of haul roads and mining equipment, and breaches of manufacturer operating requirements for technical devices and haulage machinery. As a result, administrative protocols were issued, including temporary bans on certain types of mining activities at Karakansky-South Coal Mine operated by the company. The company reported that a portion of the violations had been remedied during the inspection, with corrective actions continuing for the remaining issues.[19]
