nvestments in a favorable territory
– How much and for how long has been invested in the construction of a new mine? How much more will you invest?
– The total volume of capital investments in the construction of two stages of the Inaglinsky GOK – a mine and a processing plant – will amount to 85 billion rubles. First of all, we plan to invest 50 billion rubles, in the second – 35 billion rubles. This also includes railway infrastructure, energy infrastructure (power transmission lines) and a residential quarter for employees of the GOK. To date, we have invested 30 billion rubles. The investment phase, taking into account the construction of the second stage, will be completed at the end of 2022.
In addition, we have investments in our second complex – in the second stage of the GOK Denisovsky (investments – 20 billion rubles – Vedomosti). The construction of the Vostochnaya Denisovskaya with a production capacity of 4 million tons of coal per year is being completed there. A mine with a capacity of 2 million tons is already operating at the Denisovsky GOK. In total, we will produce 6 million tons of coal at Denisovka. The Vostochnaya Denisovskaya mine will be opened by the end of this year. In 2018, the Denisov processing plant with a capacity of 6 million tons was commissioned, investments - 9 billion rubles– In total, we have invested 20 billion rubles in the Denisovsky GOK.
– You used to head a foreign trading company "Kolmara" KSL AG and wanted to turn it into a major player. Did it succeed? What will be the burden on it with the increase in export supplies? And you still don't work with third-party traders?
– KSL AG implements all export deliveries of Kolmar. Accordingly, depending on the growth of the volume of production, its capacity will also increase. Now, after launching its own port in Vanino, KSL faces the task of filling the port with third-party coals. Fortunately, the capacity of the first stage of the port for transshipment is 12 million tons. Of this volume, our coal will be 9-10 million tons next year, so there is a reserve, and I think that KSL will expand. We work according to the usual established scheme, according to which all domestic large and medium-sized coal mining companies work. Switzerland is not an offshore country, so a foreign trader is used to enter international markets and to attract trade financing. We are waiting for all coal companies that lack transshipment capacity to our port. Moreover, the border crossings are now overloaded.
There is less optimism in the thermal coal market. Price recovery is possible only with a significant reduction in production in Australia, South Africa, Colombia and Indonesia. With the onset of the cold period, we see a moderate recovery from extremely low levels, but in general, I think there will not be a rapid recovery of the thermal coal market.
– What about the demand in the domestic market and your forecast? How do you assess your share in the domestic market and what are your competition plans?
– There is traditionally a surplus of coal supply over demand in the domestic market. The situation is somewhat different for coke and fat brands, but in general, we do not expect fundamental changes yet and we see the main sales prospects in the export direction to the Asia-Pacific countries.
– In what proportions do you supply products to the domestic market and for export – energy coal, concentrate? How will the proportions change with the commissioning of the Inaglinskaya and the enrichment plant?
– Due to our geographical location and logistics, we are an export-oriented company. Recently, we have exported up to 70% of our products. Due to the fact that production volumes are growing, we will export up to 80% of the concentrate and 20% to the domestic market. The volume of the domestic coking coal market will not grow, and there is a request for increased supplies in the Asia-Pacific countries. We position ourselves as a company that enters the leading volumes for coking coals. Thermal coal is a related product for us: we supply no more than 5% of it, mainly to local power plants.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of JSC "Kolmar Group"
– What is your forecast of prices for energy and coking coals? Demand recovery scenarios? Can we say that the coking coal market turned out to be more stable during the pandemic?
– Coking coal prices increased from $106 to $135 in September. This, of course, is much lower than the level of 2019, when the average price was $180 per 1 ton. The fall in prices was due to a pandemic: construction sites got up, metallurgical production got up. But now, for the first time in a long time, we have seen positive dynamics and market recovery. Demand from construction is reviving, periods of heavy rains have ended in Asia, metallurgists are launching blast furnaces that were on hot preservation, and China is forming new quotas for coal imports. Against this background, the price of coking coal is growing. But it is still premature to talk about a full recovery of the market.
China has actually turned out to be the only market not only for coal, but also for many other types of products. Prices are restored either with the renewal of quotas at the beginning of the new year, or as a result of exemptions introduced in a separate order. As a result, we see high volatility of prices, which this year managed to go down by $ 50 and literally in the last month to grow by $ 25 up.

it will be able to receive vessels with a deadweight of up to 168,000 tons. Believe me, you will see that in the coming year the volumes of Russian coal to the Indian market will grow. We see an active request for this from India.
– How much will the supplies increase?
– It will depend on the price situation. Our priority market has always been China, which consumes large volumes of concentrate and buys coal at high prices (only Japan is higher). We have direct long-term contracts with some large metallurgical companies. Moreover, the demand from foreign companies, such as Japanese JFE or Chinese Baowu Steel, exceeds our supply. Nevertheless, on the eve of the growth of production volumes, we are working on other supply lines, including to India, to expand sales markets. Kolmar specialists are ready to travel to India, meet with metallurgists and discuss technical and commercial issues. We sent trial batches of Yakut coal to Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam (also known as Vizag Steel. – Vedomosti), the reviews came positive. Now the pandemic has intervened in the negotiation process – we communicate with foreign partners by correspondence, but serious, long-term contracts are not discussed, of course. We are waiting for the borders to open.
– How are things going now in your traditional South Asian export markets and, in particular, in China?
– China remains a priority market for us: about 70% of our exports go to this country. Chinese partners know our coals (brands Deni Deep – mined at the Denisovskaya mine, Inagli – at the Inagli GOK), have included them in their charge. In general, Russia has a huge potential for coal supplies to China.
– How do you assess the impact of Chinese demand on the global market?
– China still defines the price situation as the largest importer of coking coal. The last two years have only confirmed this, since the decline in global demand outside the Chinese market has led to the fact that the price situation was actually determined by domestic demand and government regulation of the industry in China. For several years now, exporters have been faced with the practice of limiting the volume of coal imports in Chinese ports. As soon as the volume of imported coal approaches the values of the previous year, Chinese ports begin to increase the period of customs procedures or simply stop accepting coal. Of course, this greatly affects the market and prices. Consumers are forced to put the risks of ship downtime into the price of coal, and as a result, the sales prices of exporters are greatly reduced. In 2019, due to the introduction of quotas and the lack of strong demand in alternative markets, the price fell from above $190 to $135 in a few months.
This year, due to the pandemic, the situation is even more difficult and China has actually turned out to be the only market not only for coal, but also for many other types of products. Prices are restored either with the renewal of quotas at th
India's plans to triple steel production to 300 million tons per year by 2030 may play into the hands of Russian coal miners. Domestic producers Evraz, Mechel and Kolmar are already sending trial batches of coal to Indian metallurgists.
Anna Tsivileva headed the board of directors of Kolmar in March 2018, when her husband Sergey Tsivilev, who had been the CEO of the holding for three years, left for civil service – became the governor of the Kemerovo region. At the same time, he gave his wife a 70% stake in the company.
In 2014 "Kolmar" with its mining and processing plant (GOK) "Denisovsky" had to be rescued from bankruptcy. But Tsivileva, as she assured Vedomosti in a previous interview two years ago, received a successful company from her husband. Then she told about the plans for the construction of a new mine.
Kolmar did not curtail the investment program even during the collapse of coal prices and the pandemic. On September 10, with a delay of only four months, the company commissioned the first stage of the Inaglinsky GOK – the largest mine in Russia with a capacity of 6 million tons of coal per year and a processing plant, on September 11 – a marine terminal in the port of Vanino with a transshipment capacity of 6 million tons of coal annually. Out of the planned 50 billion rubles, 30 billion rubles have been invested in the Inaglinsky GOK, next year investments will go to the development of capacity, the second lava will be launched. The commissioning of the second stages of the mine and terminal, scheduled for 2022, will double their capacity, after which Kolmar expects to become Russia's largest producer of coking concentrate for metallurgy.
Export orientation
– Do you believe in the fantastic prospects of Russian exporters of coking coal and Kolmar itself in the Indian market? A month ago it became known that India is ready to buy up to 40 million tons per year from Russia, while now it imports less than 1 million tons. After all, you have already made trial deliveries to India, are there any results, maybe full-fledged contracts? Or are you counting on them after the opening of the Vanino terminal?
– India and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region (APR) are now focused on diversification and moving away from dependence on coal supplies from Australia. Indeed, we not only negotiated with large state and private metallurgical companies, but also delivered trial batches. Yakut coal satisfied the Indians, now we are negotiating long-term contracts and large volumes. Previously, freight ate up our entire margin, because coal was sent to consumers [in India] in small batches. Before the opening of the Vanino terminal, we could load dry cargo with a deadweight of 15,000-40,000 tons. Now we have the opportunity to load large batches into large-tonnage vessels with a deadweight of 120,000 tons and make complex deliveries of various grades of metallurgical coal. After the completion of the second stage of the terminal in 202
The court fully satisfied the requirements of Altaivagon JSC with respect to Evraz TK LLC
By the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court of 03.02.2021, the requirements of Altaivagon JSC, which had previously filed a claim for recovery from Evraz TK LLC 883 million, were fully satisfied rubles of unjustified enrichment.
Contractual relations for the supply of railway wheels have been established between the companies for a long time. To strengthen cooperation, on May 22, 2018, a mutually beneficial Agreement to the supply agreement was concluded between the Joint-Stock Company of Altai Car Building and Evraz TK LLC, in which the parties fixed the terms of long-term cooperation determining the guaranteed volume of deliveries to Altaivagon.
However, the following year Evraz TK LLC unilaterally notified about the increase in prices for goods more than twice, despite the lack of legal grounds. In order to preserve the obligations assumed by Altaivagon JSC to its customers, within three months the company was forced to purchase wheels at an inflated price. Evraz refused all arguments about the illegality of the price increase, which provoked Altaivagon's appeal to the court for compensation for the difference between the price stipulated in the agreement and the new one increased by Evraz for the specified period.
During the proceedings, Evraz TK LLC initiated a counterclaim for the recovery of a fine from Altaivagon JSC for non-compliance with the agreement regarding the obligation to purchase the minimum guaranteed volume of railway wheels. Nevertheless, the court did not share the position of Evraz, pointing out the unreasonableness of the price increase, while all the requirements of the Altai Car Building Joint-Stock Company were fully satisfied by the court.

EVRAZ has received a certificate for DT350VS400 rails for high-speed highways
EVRAZ ZSMK received a certificate for rails of the DT350BC400 category intended for operation on railways where the speed of trains reaches 400 km/h. There are no analogues of them in Russia and CIS countries today.
The new rails are distinguished by a combination of high profile accuracy and straightness and an expanded set of technical characteristics. For their manufacture, EVRAZ ZSMK specialists used a number of technological solutions that are used for the production of special-purpose rails. The optimal chemical composition of rail steel was selected, special temperature-time modes of heating, rolling and heat treatment, calibration of rolls with an increased number of universal calibers and editing modes were developed.
"Hundred–meter rails of the DT350VS400 category are a unique product of EVRAZ, designed specifically for the implementation of projects of JSC Russian Railways for the launch of high–speed highways," said Ilya Shirokobrod, EVRAZ Vice President for Sales and Logistics. – They are able to provide comfort on the way and the necessary level of safety at speeds up to 400 km/h and increased dynamic loads. In addition, the new rails can be used in climatic conditions where the temperature difference varies in the range of 110-120 degrees Celsius, which also expands the prospects for their operation."
Technical specifications for the DT350VS400 were previously approved by JSC "VNIIZHT", JSC "Russian Railways" and JSC "High-Speed Highways". Factory, preliminary and acceptance tests were carried out. And during 2019, certification tests of rails were carried out at the EVRAZ ZSMK Testing Center and JSC VNIIZHT.

Evraz are located in Russia, but Bibik hopes that the customers of the Ukrainian plant will not cooperate with them.......
Ukrainian businessmen told about the consequences of the special operation
Ukrainian businessmen announced the suspension of production of a number of export goods
Ukrainian businessmen stopped the production of a number of export goods, which was a consequence of the ongoing Russian special operation. Among the products are steel pipelines, wires and car harnesses and even neon. Experts fear that international companies will suffer because of this, the Associated Press writes.
The Ukrainian company InterPipe has stopped the supply of steel pipelines to Texas oil companies. At the same time, the European transport industry was left without wheels for trains, which were also produced in Ukraine.
"It's empty and lonely here. You don't hear a sound. You can see that everything has stopped," said Andrey Bibik, the head of InterPipe.

InterPipe's international customers usually order the company's products several months in advance, but supply disruptions can lead to a shortage of products and the search for an alternative supplier. INTERPIPE's main competitors OMK and Evraz are located in Russia, but Bibik hopes that the customers of the Ukrainian plant will not cooperate with them.
Due to the reduction in exports from Ukraine, Western manufacturers also had to face a shortage of automotive wires and other spare parts. In addition, neon gas is produced in Ukraine, which is used to burn out integrated circuits on computer chips — experts have already warned of a possible global shortage.
Now Ukraine accounts for only 0.3 percent of world exports, according to a report by the Dutch bank ING. Nevertheless, international companies suffer losses due to the fact that Ukrainian partners do not fulfill their obligations.
The beginning of a special operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine on February 24 was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The purpose of the operation is the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.
EVRAZ KGOK has started mining ore from the Kachkanar deposit of titanium-magnetite ores (SCM), located 5 kilometers from the Gusevogorsky mine. About this URA.RU was told in the company's press service.
"The development of the Kachkanarskoye field proper allows us to compensate for the retiring reserves of the Gusevogorskoye field and ensure stable operation not only of KGOC, but also of EVRAZ NTMK," said Alexander Prinev, Executive Director of the combine.
EVRAZ KGOK specialists have been preparing for the extraction of ore from the main quarry for three weeks. Prior to that, the work was carried out at the initial quarry. During this time, the site was equipped, more than 360 wells were drilled, into which explosives were then laid. A 20 cc excavator "P&H" and dump trucks "BelAZ" with a lifting capacity of 240 tons work at the quarry. This year, the equipment will have to ship about 10 million tons of ore. By 2024, they want to increase production to 13 million tons per year. Iron reserves at the quarry are estimated at almost 7 billion tons. This raw material should be enough for the enterprise for more than 100 years.
The volume of investments in the development of the Kachkanar field proper is 6.4 billion rubles. An additional 135 jobs will be created during the development of the fishery. This will have a positive impact on the socio-economic development of the territory.
Preparation for the development of the SCM began in 2019. The fate of the monotown — Kachkanar depended on the implementation of the grandiose project. However, then EVRAZ faced the need to relocate the Shedrub Ling community. Buddhists illegally placed buildings on the slope of Mount Kachkanar. The believers were transported to the site in the Lower Tura area.
