In December 2011 the Company won an auction for the right to use subsurface of “Bryansky” coal deposit with reserves of 250 mln. tonnes of coal in the C2 category. The surface mine is located in close proximity to existing infrastructure and production assets.
The Company produces exclusively thermal coal, classified as grade “D” under the Russian classification system, with a naturally low sulphur and phosphorus content, as well as a relatively high calorific value.
The Company conducts mining operations at three open-pit mines, located in the Kuzbass area, Russia’s largest coal producing region. The Company’s mining operations are supported by an extensive production and logistics infrastructure, including its own railway network and facilities, which enable the Company to transport 100% of produced coal from the open-pit mines to the main railway hub at the long-distance railway network, operated by the Russian Railways. Furthermore, as the Company’s mines are compactly located within 5 km from each other, a number of operations are conducted centrally, thereby minimizing overhead costs and expenses.
In 2012, the Company’s total coal sales amounted to 10.20 mln. tonnes of coal, of which 8.51 mln. tonnes were produced by the Company and 1.70 mln. tonnes were resold after purchasing from other coal producers. The Company maintains a diversified sales structure balanced between export and domestic sales: in 2012 about 42% of coal was sold to domestic consumers and approximately 58% exported, primarily to Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
The Company’s strong regional presence is supported by an extensive retail distribution network, located throughout the Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Omsk and Altay regions of Western Siberia. As of January 1, 2012, the Company’s distribution network included 70 owned and operated points of sales and delivered 3.45 mln. tonnes of coal in 2011, positioning KTK as one of the principal suppliers of coal to retail customers in Western Siberia.
