Let's look at what it actually says shall we, it states that it includes what you have stated, see -
"The management has presented to the Board of Directors an investment programme to 2030 with a total capital expenditure budget of approximately RUB 2 tn (approximately USD 27 bn at current exchange rate). The investment programme includes the following major complex projects: a comprehensive environmental programme, construction of new mining as well as concentrating and metallurgical facilities, modernisation of the energy infrastructure, and a complex upgrade of existing production assets. The long-term programme is split into two phases: the first phase capex of approximately RUB 1.3 tn (approximately USD 17 bn) over 2021-2025, and the second phase capex of approximately RUB 0.7 tn (about USD 17 bn) over 2026-2030. The main specific projects of this programme were presented at the Company's Capital Markets Day in December 2020, and include the following key targets for 2030:"
It also quite clearly states this -
"construction of new mining as well as concentrating and metallurgical facilities"
New facility as in the double capacity one at Monchegorsk. Now please stop talking rubbish, cheers!
What you speak of is just one of the targets . . . it even quite clearly states this -
"A 7-fold reduction of sulphur dioxide emissions at Kola MMC already in 2021." - again it's the Monchegorsk facility.
From our RNS -
"James Nieuwenhuys, CEO and Managing Director of Eurasia commented: "We are excited to significantly expand our portfolio by adding open pit deposits adjacent to our Monchetundra and creating a unique open pit mining PGM and battery metals district on the Kola Peninsula"
