Mining and Metallurgical Holding

Responding to high demand for polymetallic ores in the Russian and international markets, the company is engaged in creation of a mining and metallurgical holding. The project presupposes exploration and development of the large-scale polymetals deposits, mining and processing plant and industrial infrastructure facilities construction, i.e. both mining and metals processing development.

The IFC METROPOL subsidiaries have won a number of tenders for the right to use the deposits subsoil in the Republic of Buryatia, which were held by the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Buryatia.

Currently the IFC METROPOL creates a mining and metallurgical holding for the project realization. The company has already begun the work on feasibility study for a particular enterprises, ecological monitoring of deposits, and their preparation for development.  In prospects construction of mining and processing plants (GOK), development of a transport and power supply infrastructure is planned. The options of locating separate metallurgical productions close to GOK are under consideration.

The Project realization will essentially improve economic and investment climate in the region will foster the development of social sphere and will considerably increase the taxable base of the Republic of Buryatia. The project will allow to promote trade and economic cooperation with foreign countries, and first of all with the Peoples’ Republic of China and Japan.

For implementation of the mining and metallurgical program as a whole the management company “MBC Corporation” has been established which in the long term should become the largest in Russia vertically-integrated specialized holding.
