Background

The Saryadyr coal mine is a surface coal mine.

In 2005 it was bought by TOO On-Olzha (LLP) with a right to conduct mining activities until 2034.[2][3] It appears that the sole shareholder of the company was a private individual Marat Nabiev. 2017, On-Olzha was acknowledged bankrupt and the mining license was withdrawn.[4]

Coal was exported to Russia as well as used domestically.[4] In addition, a gas-coal chemical complex operated at the Saryadyr coal mine, producing liquid fuels from coal.[2]

In 2019 and 2020, there were reports of illegal mining while the bankruptcy procedure was still on-going.[5] In December 2022, an auction to sell the remaining assets of the bankrupting company was held.[6]

Production levels prior to the company's bankruptcy were reportedly 3-3.5 million tonnes per annum.[5][4]
