Background

The Bryansky coal mine (Брянский разрез) is a surface coal mine in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. The Bryansky 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. This is part of Russia's response to nationalise energy companies previously held in foreign jurisdictions.

KTK also operates Cheremshansky coal mine, Vinogradovsky coal mine, Karakansky South coal mine and Listvyanichny coal mine in the vicinity.

Initial reported capacity is 3 million tonnes.

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. Production is now reported only for Karakansky-South coal mine, presumably jointly with the Bryansky. Previously Bryansky was reported separately.
