RNS Announcement

NLMK Group launches one of the largest pelletizing facilities in Europe

30 November 2016. NLMK Group (LSE: NLMK), an international steel producer with assets in Russia, Europe and the USA has successfully launched pelletizing plant at Stoilensky, the key investment project of its 'Strategy 2017'.

The pelletizing plant opening ceremony was attended by the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, the Governor of Belgorod Region Evgeniy Savchenko, the Governor of Lipetsk Region Oleg Korolyov, the Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov, the Chairman of NLMK Group's Board of Directors Vladimir Lisin and the CEO of NLMK Group Oleg Bagrin, as well as by the employees and partners of the company.

The launch of the new pelletizing plant will enable NLMK Group to reduce its costs of iron ore used in blast furnace operations, which will result in a lower cash cost of NLMK steel. The positive impact of the project on EBITDA exceeds $150 million at current prices.

Oleg Bagrin, NLMK CEO, said:

"The construction of the pelletizing plant is an essential part of NLMK Group's development strategy which aims to strengthen the Group's leadership positions. The pelletizing plant will ensure control over the iron ore costs during a period of volatile feedstock prices and provide a structural reduction in steel production costs. It will create the conditions for the further growth of Stoilensky's concentrate production capacity. The plant will uphold the Group's leadership position as one of the most efficient steel producers globally." 

The plant has a design capacity of 6 million tonnes of pellets per year. The equipment installed allows for a further 20% expansion of this capacity to reach 7.2 million tonnes of pellets per year. The company plans to produce around 50,000 tonnes of pellets for the Lipetsk site during hot trials in November. The plant is expected to achieve its design capacity in Q1 2017.

This high-tech facility took two years to build. The active phase of the project, which is the largest in its region, began in 2014 and required a total investment of around $680 million (34 billion rubles).

The best available technology and equipment was selected during the design phase. The largest induration furnace in Europe ensures the plant's high performance at 780 tonnes of pellets produced per hour. The Stoilensky plant is the first in the Russian metals and mining industry to use high-efficiency hyperbaric filters to remove fluid during the processing of ore.

The concept behind the design of the pelletizing plant is that of an environmentally friendly, waste-free facility, in which waste charge material and captured dust are fully recycled. A high efficiency de-dusting system captures up to 98% of emissions.

The plant's labour productivity of 22.9 thousand tonnes per person is the highest among its peers in Russia and the CIS.
