Mechel PAO (MOEX:MTLR) (NYSE:MTL)
, one of
the leading Russian mining and metals companies, reports leasing 10
BelAZ trucks in the framework of agreements signed with State
Transport Leasing Company (STLC).
The agreements signed with STLC for supply of
heavy-duty trucks total approximately 900 million rubles. The
financing term is five years. The BelAZ trucks were acquired in the
framework of the program on preferential financing of export
industrial products made in Belarus.
The new mining equipment with a 90-tonne load
capacity arrived at the production site of Korshunov Mining Plant
which is part of Mechel’s mining division. The first six BelAZ
trucks have already been assembled and begun working in the plant’s
Rudnogorsky Open Pit.
According to the company’s technical revamping
program, over 90 mining and auxiliary equipment units, including
trucks and excavators, will be supplied to the Group’s mining
facilities in 2018. In 2017 over 100 new equipment units were added
to the fleet of Mechel’s mining companies.
“We try to use all financial instruments
available to us to fulfill our investment program on increasing our
mining equipment fleet, and we are grateful to our partner, State
Transport Leasing Company, for their constructive approach. New
BelAZ trucks will enable us to begin restoring iron ore mining
volumes at Korshunov Mining Plant,” Mechel Mining Management OOO’s
Chief Executive Officer Pavel Shtark noted.
