EVRAZ

Evraz conducts its mining business primarily through Evrazruda, KGOK, VGOK, Mine 12 and Yuzhkuzbassugol. Evraz also has equity interest in Raspadskaya coking coal mine.

Evraz's principal sources of sinter and pellets are its subsidiaries KGOK, VGOK and Evrazruda, as well as Mikhailovsky GOK. Zapsib also operates a sinter plant on site. As it has acquired control over additional iron ore assets, Evraz has sought to increase the share of these operations in its total iron ore consumption. In the first half of 2007 Evraz reached approximately 84% self-coverage in iron ore and around 83% self-coverage in coking coal.
