Corber holds 82% of the share capital of Raspadskaya. As consideration for the acquisition, EVRAZ will (i) issue 132.7 million new shares representing 9.9% of the existing issued share capital of EVRAZ; (ii) issue 33.9 million new warrants to subscribe for 33.9 million new shares representing 2.53% of the existing issued share capital of EVRAZ, and (iii) pay an amount, in cash, of US$1,949.80 for each of 103,600 ordinary Corber shares, payable in four equal instalments in Q1, Q2, Q3 2013 and Q1 2014. Completion of the deal is expected in Q4 2012. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;In October EVRAZ announced the purchase of two scrap yards in Colorado that will become part of EVRAZ Recycling, a division of EVRAZ North America. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;In October EVRAZ temporarily shut the steel production at EVRAZ Vitkovice Steel in the Czech Republic due to low demand and to optimise the raw materials inventory. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The full version of the press release is&lt;a href=&quot;/press/121018_Q3 2012 operational results and IMS.pdf&quot; &gt; here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; ### &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Investor Relations: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;London: +44 207 832 8990 Moscow: +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:ir@evraz.com&quot; &gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Media Relations: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8998 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:media@evraz.com&quot; &gt;media@evraz.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ Announces Decision to Restart Spiral Mill in Portland</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/2012/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;12 October 2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR) announces that it will restart its Portland spiral mill that was idled in July 2009 оnce the installation of new equipment is complete in the first half of 2013. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Because of its proximity to the fast-growing Bakken and Western Canada oil and natural gas regions, as well as oil fields in the U.S. Rockies, EVRAZ Portland&amp;rsquo;s spiral mill is ideally positioned to supply pipe for exploration and transmission. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;###&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For further information:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8998 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Acquisition of an indirect controlling interest in OJSC Raspadskaya by EVRAZ plc</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/2011/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR) (&amp;quot;EVRAZ&amp;quot;) announces that it has agreed the terms of the acquisition of an indirect controlling interest in OJSC Raspadskaya and its subsidiaries (&amp;quot;Raspadskaya&amp;quot;) (the &amp;quot;Acquisition&amp;quot;).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;EVRAZ has agreed to purchase a further 50% interest in Corber Enterprises Limited (&amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;Corber&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;) from Adroliv Investments Limited, a company owned by the sellers (the &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;Sellers&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;), which holds an 82% interest in Raspadskaya. EVRAZ has an existing holding of 50% of Corber and, following completion of the Acquisition, will hold an indirect interest of 82% in Raspadskaya&amp;rsquo;s shares. The remaining 18% of Raspadskaya's shares will remain listed on the Russian Stock Exchange, MICEX-RTS. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;As consideration for the Acquisition, EVRAZ will (i) issue 132.7 million new shares representing 9.9% of the existing issued share capital of EVRAZ (the &amp;quot;New EVRAZ Shares&amp;quot;); (ii) issue 33.9 million new warrants to subscribe for 33.9 million new shares representing 2.53% of the existing issued share capital of EVRAZ (the &amp;quot; Warrants&amp;quot;), and (iii) pay an amount, in cash, of US$1,949.80 for each of 103,600 ordinary Corber shares, payable in four equal instalments in Q1, Q2, Q3 2013 and Q1 2014. The Warrants may be exercised at any time between 12 months and 15 months after completion of the Acquisition and the Warrants contain customary provisions relating to adjustments. Upon exercise of the Warrants, it is expected that the Sellers would own 11.06% of EVRAZ. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Completion of the Acquisition is expected to occur in Q4 2012 subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals and satisfaction or waiver of other conditions. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Raspadskaya is one of Russia’s largest producers of coking coal based on volume of production in 2011 and is located in the Kemerovo region of the Russian Federation. Raspadskaya is already a key supplier of coal to EVRAZ and EVRAZ is Raspadskaya’s largest customer. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;According to the international consulting firm IMC, as of 31 December 2011, the total proved and probable coal reserves of Yuzhkuzbassugol, EVRAZ’s producer of coking coal, were estimated to be approximately 632 million tonnes. As of 31 December 2011, according to IMC, Raspadskaya had proved and probable coal reserves of 1,314 million tonnes. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;EVRAZ’s net leverage ratio as at 30 June 2012 was 2.48x. Corber’s net debt at 30 June 2012 was US$330 million and the pro forma net leverage of the combined entity as at this date would have been 2.39x. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Alexander Frolov, CEO, EVRAZ plc, said, &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;The acquisition will increase EVRAZ’s coking coal self-coverage, which is consistent with EVRAZ's stated strategy of growth in the raw materials for steelmaking. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Raspadskaya is already a key supplier of coal to EVRAZ and EVRAZ is Raspadskaya's largest customer. Through holding an equity interest in Raspadskaya since 10 March 2004 and having directors on the Board of OJSC Raspadskaya, EVRAZ has a clear understanding of the strengths and potential of Raspadskaya's business and is best positioned to benefit from acquiring an indirect controlling interest in Raspadskaya. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Following completion of this acquisition EVRAZ will become the largest producer of coking coal in Russia. We believe that the acquisition of Raspadskaya will generate substantial operational synergies to EVRAZ, including the optimal use of different coal grades in the combined portfolio. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; We value the strong expertise of the management team and we are happy that Mr Kozovoy, who has been the chief executive officer of Raspadskaya since December 1993, and has successfully helped to transform it into one of the largest coal mining companies in Russia, will stay in this position until at least the end of 2013&lt;/em&gt;.“ &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Summary of the Conditions to the Acquisition &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The Acquisition is subject to certain conditions and other terms, which are summarised below, and completion will only occur if, among other things, the following events occur on or before 15 January 2013 or such later date as EVRAZ and Raspadskaya agree: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; a) EVRAZ having received pre-transfer merger clearance from the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service in connection with the Acquisition; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; b) the share prices of EVRAZ or Raspadskaya not falling below certain pre-agreed levels; and &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; c) satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions, including, without limitation, the receipt of authorisations, orders, confirmations, consents, clearances, permissions or approvals required under any law of any jurisdiction either without conditions or subject to conditions which are acceptable to EVRAZ (acting reasonably). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; On the basis that all the conditions as outlined above are satisfied or waived, the Acquisition is expected to complete in Q4 2012. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Settlement, Listing and Dealings of the New EVRAZ Shares &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;The New EVRAZ Shares issued to the Sellers pursuant to the Acquisition will rank pari passu in all respects with the EVRAZ shares in existence at the date of this announcement. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Applications will be made:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;to the UKLA for the New EVRAZ Shares to be admitted to listing on the Official List; and &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;to the London Stock Exchange for the New EVRAZ Shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;A conference call for investors and analysts to discuss the Acquisition hosted by &lt;strong&gt;Alexander Frolov&lt;/strong&gt;, CEO, and &lt;strong&gt;Giacomo Baizini&lt;/strong&gt;, CFO, will commence on Thursday, 4 October 2012 at: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Information on EVRAZ &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; EVRAZ is a vertically integrated steel, mining and vanadium business with operations in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, USA, Canada, Czech Republic, Italy and South Africa. EVRAZ is among the top 20 largest steel producers in the world based on crude steel production of 16.8 million tonnes in 2011. In 2011 EVRAZ sold 15.5 million tonnes of steel products. A significant portion of the Group's internal consumption of iron ore and coking coal is covered by its mining operations. As at 31 December 2011, according to IMC, EVRAZ had total proved and probable reserves of approximately 632 million tonnes of coal. During 2011, EVRAZ extracted 6.3 million tonnes of raw coking coal, and 3.0 million tonnes of raw steam coal, and produced 6.5 million tonnes of coking coal concentrate and 0.9 million tonnes of steam coal concentrate. EVRAZ's total assets stood at US$16,975 million as at 31 December 2011 and at US$17,432 million as at 30 June 2012.The EBITDA for 2011 was US$2,898 million and the H1 2012 EBITDA was US$1,175 million. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Information on Raspadskaya &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Raspadskaya is one of Russia's largest producers of coking coal based on volume of production in 2011. Raspadskaya conducts its business through OJSC Raspadskaya and 11 of its key subsidiaries located in the Kemerovo region of the Russian Federation. Raspadskaya extracted 6.3 million tonnes of raw coking coal and produced 3.8 million tonnes of coking coal concentrate in 2011. As of 31 December 2011, Raspadskaya had proved and probable coking coal reserves of 1,314 million tonnes, coking coal measured resources of 1,809 million tonnes and coking coal inferred resources of 262 million tonnes, according to IMC. &lt;br /&gt; Corber’s total assets stood at US$2,150 million as at 31 December 2011 and at US$2,078 million as at 30 June 2012. The 2011 Adjusted EBITDA for 2011 was US$318 million and the H1 2012 Adjusted EBITDA was US$99 million. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Raspadskaya's principal coal mining and coal processing operations consist of three underground mines, one open-pit mine and the Raspadskaya coal concentrate preparation plant. Raspadskaya's ability to produce large volumes of coking coal concentrate has resulted in many large Russian steel companies, such as EVRAZ, MMK, NLMK and several other Russian metallurgical and coke producing companies such as Koks, Mechel and Urals Steel, relying on Raspadskaya to supply their coke producing plants with a large proportion of the coal products that are required to operate their businesses. Raspadskaya has its own coal and coal concentrate transportation network which connects Raspadskaya's production complex to the federal railway network at the Mezhdurechensk railway station. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The senior management of Raspadskaya includes (i) Gennady Kozovoy, the current chief executive officer of Raspadskaya Coal Company who assumed this position in April 2003 and previously served as Raspadskaya's general director from December 1993 till June 2003, and (ii) Alexander Vagin, the chairman of Raspadskaya's board of directors who has served in such capacity since December 1993 and assumed the role of first deputy CEO of Raspadskaya Coal Company in March 2004. Whereas Mr Kozovoy following completion of the Acquisition will remain as Raspadskaya’s CEO until at least the end of 2013, Mr Vagin will resign as Chairman of Raspadskaya and leave its board of directors but remain with Raspadskaya as deputy CEO. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;This announcement is not intended to and does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, any offer, invitation or recommendation to purchase, sell or subscribe for any securities in any jurisdiction and neither the issue of the information nor anything contained herein shall form the basis of or be relied upon in connection with, or act as an inducement to enter into, any investment activity.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as &amp;quot;anticipate&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;expect&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;estimate&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;intend&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;plan&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;goal&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;believe&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;hope&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;aims&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;continue&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;will&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;may&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;should&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;would&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;could&amp;quot;, or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by EVRAZ and/or Raspadskaya in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this document could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this document. Neither EVRAZ nor Raspadskaya assumes any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this document (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business combinations or dispositions&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ Announces Purchase of Two Sims Metal Management Assets</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/2010/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;2 October 2012&lt;/em&gt; - EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR) announces the purchase of two recycling assets from Sims Metal Management.

On this basis, the North American registrar for the certification of railway transport has issued EVRAZ NTMK with a license to supply a pilot batch of wheels. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;EVRAZ NTMK still has to undergo field testing to obtain a permanent license, so will supply the pilot batch of wheels – 32,000 – to North America for testing purposes. They will be installed on freight cars for field testing; up to five thousand cars are expected to be utilized. Testing is considered successful when no defects are found in the wheels upon completion of 300 thousand miles (about 500 thousand km). &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Development of the North American railway market is a strategic goal for EVRAZ NTMK&amp;rdquo;, comments Ilya Shirokobrod, Vice President of EVRAZ, and Head of Railway Products Division. “Owing to the modifications and introduction of new technologies at EVRAZ NTMK, the Company now has the opportunity to supply its products to the American and European markets”. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The current EVRAZ NTMK product line includes railway wheels for freight and passenger cars, underground trains, special purpose trains, and electric and diesel locomotives. In addition, the company is the only Russian producer of 350-390 HB and 1250 mm wheels for EP-20 high-speed electric passenger locomotives. EVRAZ NTMK is also introducing railway wheels for the high-speed Lastochka locomotives to be used during the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, and has a further 18 types of wheels currently in development. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; ### &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media Contact: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; Vice President, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8998 &lt;br /&gt; Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Investor Contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8990 &lt;br /&gt; Moscow: +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ Resumes Operations of EVRAZ Highveld in South Africa</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/2003/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;14 August 2012&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &amp;mdash; EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR) (the Company) announces the restart of operations at EVRAZ Highveld Steel and Vanadium (South Africa) which had been temporarily suspended as a result of an industrial action announced by EVRAZ Highveld&amp;rsquo;s largest union NUMSA at the end of July. A suitable agreement has been reached between EVRAZ Highveld and NUMSA which ends the four-week strike. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The main dissenting issue, namely converting the three-shift system to a law compliant four-shift system, has been resolved and all operational employees reported to duty on 13 August 2012 on the new four-shift system. Agreement has further been reached on certain compensation for the employees who would have been negatively financially impacted by the implementation of the four - shift system. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The steelworks re-started on 13 August 2012 and it is expected that the steelworks will be fully operational by the end of August. The Company will focus on meeting all orders and commitments to its clients and partners. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The EBITDA of EVRAZ Highveld in 2011 represented less than 1% of consolidated EBITDA of EVRAZ plc and the labour actions in South Africa have had no material effect on the financial performance of EVRAZ during the current period. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; ### &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Investor Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8990 Moscow: +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8998 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Aug 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Q2 2012 Operational Results - Clarification</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/2002/</link> <description> &lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Further to its announcement of Q2 2012 operational results on 16 July 2012, EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR) wishes to clarify the following: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; In Q3 2012, crude steel production by the Russian steel mills is expected to increase by 2% compared to Q2 2012. In Q3 production volumes will be affected by the following: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 1) in connection with the rail mill modernisation at EVRAZ ZSMK: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; a. temporary shutdown for an upgrade since 8 April 2012 of one of the two electric arc furnaces (EAF) , which is scheduled to be re-launched at the end of September 2012 and &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;mdash; EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR) (the Company) announces the temporary suspension of operations at EVRAZ Highveld Steel and Vanadium (South Africa) following the start of an industrial action announced by EVRAZ Highveld&amp;rsquo;s largest union NUMSA. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The action stems from a notice issued by the Company regarding possible retrenchments as a result of a fixed cost reduction initiative, as well as from a reorganisation of the labour force to switch to a law compliant 4-shift working schedule. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; EVRAZ is making every effort to meet its obligations to its suppliers and partners but under the circumstances cannot fully guarantee the stability and continuity of EVRAZ Highveld’s products supplies, including supplies of vanadium slag and vanadium products. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The management of EVRAZ is committed to commence the negotiations with NUMSA in order to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; As EBITDA of EVRAZ Highveld in 2011 represented less than 1% of consolidated EBITDA of EVRAZ plc, the labour actions in South Africa are not expected to have a material effect on the financial performance of EVRAZ. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;li&gt;The share of finished products in the consolidated steel product mix remained unchanged at 80%&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Coking coal production decreased by 7% due to a longwall repositioning at Yuzhkuzbassugol&amp;rsquo;s Uskovskaya (former Ulyanovskaya) mine&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Prices for most steel product groups were marginally flat or a little higher (except in South Africa) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Please download the full version of the press-release &lt;a href=&quot;/investor/120716_Q2 2012 operational results.pdf&quot;

During that time EVRAZ will supply Russian Railways with rail products worth around 90 billion rubles, to include rails up to 100 metres long. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; EVRAZ ZSMK is completing the final stage of reconstruction of the rail mill to launch production of this new rail type, and as a result the capacity of the rolling mill will increase to 950 thousand tonnes of rails a year. The total investment of the project is 520 million US dollars. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The 100-metre head-hardened rails are a new product for Russia and the CIS, and are comparable in quality with the products of the world leaders in this sector. They can be used on high-speed railway lines, and on lines with high levels of traffic. The increased length of the rails also allows the reduction of the number of welded joints, which improves both safety and the maximum speed the train can reach. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The reconstruction of the rail mill at EVRAZ NTMK continues, with 60 million US dollars to be invested in the project which &amp;ndash; with automated quality control - will allow the production of 25-metre volumetric tempered rails with a high purity of surface. After the completion of the project the volume of rail production at EVRAZ NTMK will increase to 550 thousand tonnes per year. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;ldquo;EVRAZ is reconstructing the rail mills in accordance with the priorities set out in the Strategy for Developing Rail Transport in the Russian Federation,&amp;rdquo; - Ilya Shirokobrod, EVRAZ Vice-President and Head of Division of Railway Products said. “Our railway products&amp;rsquo; segment has excellent prospects for growth. When the reconstruction is over we will be able to produce rails that meet the highest world standards and the strictest requirements of our customers, and in particular those of Russian Railways, one of our key clients and partners”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;### &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Investor Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8990 Moscow: +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8998 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Thu, 31 May 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ to Be Included in MSCI UK Index</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1994/</link> <description>&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;17 May 2012&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &amp;ndash; EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR) (&amp;ldquo;EVRAZ&amp;quot;) is delighted to announce its inclusion in the MSCI United Kingdom Index, a constituent of the MSCI Global Standard Indices.

Compared to the previous interim management statements issued by the Company, the format of this statement has been aligned to meet the requirements of the DTR 4.3 and to reflect existing practices of equivalent premium listed companies. Going forward EVRAZ plans to issue interim management statements on or around 15 April and 15 October each year along the operational results of the first and the third quarters respectively. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;Each year EVRAZ publishes consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for the six months ended June 30 and for the year ended December 31&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Overview (1):&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Total steel product sales for the first quarter of 2012 amounted to 3.9 million tonnes, unchanged from Q1 2011. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Revenue for the first quarter of 2012 remained in line with the same period in 2011 as prices and sales volumes were broadly flat. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; The Company&amp;rsquo;s cost base increased due to the appreciation of the Russian Rouble. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Q1 2012 financial performance was broadly in line with the Q4 2011 performance. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Total debt as of 31 March 2012 amounted to US$7,383 million (US$ 7,245 million as of 31 December 2011), including current portion of US$1,052 million (US$626 million as of 31 December 2011). The increase in total debt is mainly attributable to the Russian Rouble appreciation in Q1 2012 which gave a US$228 million effect. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period stood at US$453 million (US$801 million as of 31 December 2011), mainly due to an increase in working capital which is expected to be reversed by the end of Q2 2012. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Capital expenditure amounted to US$310 million during the first quarter of 2012. On the whole, major capex projects (introduction of the PCI technology at the Russian steel mills, reconstruction of the rail mill at EVRAZ ZSMK, greenfield construction of two rolling mills in the CIS, development of the Yerunakovskaya VIII coking coal mine) remain on schedule and within budget. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Company is in the process of carrying out the following planned repairs and upgrades at certain assets that are expected to impact production volumes in Q2 2012: &lt;br /&gt; - Capital repairs at EVRAZ Russian steel mills’ blast furnaces: 17 days to BF 5 at EVRAZ NTMK (annual production capacity of 2.4 million tonnes of pig iron) in April and 12 days of BF 3 to EVRAZ ZSMK (2.2 mtpa) in June. &lt;br /&gt; - Shutdown for the final stage of the upgrade of the EVRAZ ZSMK rail mill that started in April and is expected to continue for five months. The upgrade will increase the mill’s rail production capacity from 720,000 tonnes to 950,000 tonnes, including up to 450,000 tonnes of high speed 100-metre rails. &lt;br /&gt; - Shutdown for the related upgrade of one of the two continuous casters at EVRAZ ZSMK (its capacity is expected to increase from 725,000 tonnes to 1 million tonnes of billets per annum) and a temporary shutdown of one of the two electric arc furnaces with an annual steelmaking capacity of 860,000 tonnes. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;In April 2012 Evraz Group S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of EVRAZ plc, issued US$600 million five year notes at a coupon rate of 7.40% per annum. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;EVRAZ is due to release its interim results for the first six months of 2012 on 30 August 2012. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;EVRAZ will hold an Investor Day on 19 June 2012. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Financial Position: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; EVRAZ has substantial financial headroom to support its operations and investment plans. &lt;br /&gt; There have been no exceptional material events or transactions during the period and there have been no significant changes in the financial position of the Company since the publication of the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2011.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;(1)The Q1 2012 production results as well as prices for major product groups were published on 16 April 2012 and are available on the Company’s website.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;### &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;For further information:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Investor Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8990 Moscow: +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8998 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;em&gt;This interim management statement is unaudited and has been prepared solely to provide additional information to shareholders as a body to meet the relevant requirements of the UK Listing Authority’s Disclosure and Transparency Rules and should not be relied on by any other party or for any other purpose.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>2012 Annual General Meeting Update</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1992/</link> <description>The notice of meeting for EVRAZ&amp;rsquo;s 2012 Annual General Meeting is now available for download &lt;a href=&quot;/investor/fixed_income_investors_information/press/V1.04_11WTYD_02_Notice_Of_Meeting.pdf&quot; &gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

Once the technical evaluation has been completed, an independent technical committee oversees and reviews IRGR’s findings and final rankings to ensure the independence of such analysis. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; “We are very pleased with the recognition of our efforts to increase transparency, and we remain committed to continuous improvement of our financial disclosure and investor relations standards”, commented Giacomo Baizini, Vice President Corporate Affairs and CFO of EVRAZ. “We are proud that we have been recognised the best among European companies, well known for best practices in financial disclosure and investor relations.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For more information please see&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.irglobalrankings.com&quot;&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;http://www.irglobalrankings.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; ### &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Investor Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8990 Moscow: +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;Media Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8998 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Publication of Audited 2011 Annual Report and Accounts</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1990/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;Further to the preliminary announcement of its results for the year ended 31 December 2011, EVRAZ plc announces that it has today published its 2011 Annual Report and Accounts (the &amp;ldquo;2011 Annual Report&amp;rdquo;) for the same period. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The 2011 Annual Report is now available to view or download in a pdf format from the Company&amp;rsquo;s website at www.evraz.com and a copy has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, which will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The 2011 Annual Report and the Notice of the Company’s Annual General Meeting, which will be held on 18 June 2012 in London, will be posted to shareholders on or around 8 May 2012. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; A condensed set of the Company’s financial statements were included in the Company’s preliminary results announcement. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; That information, together with the Appendix to this announcement, which is extracted from the 2011 Annual Report, constitutes the material which is required to be communicated to the media in unedited full text through a Regulatory Information Service for the purposes of compliance with DTR 6.3.5.

The outlook of the rating was changed to stable from positive. Concurrently, the senior unsecured rating of Evraz Group's notes was upgraded to B1 from B2. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; According to Moody’s, the upgrade and the stable rating outlook reflect the improving performance and financial metrics of EVRAZ over the last two years, in particular its stable and solid free cash flow, which has enabled to steadily reduce debt. Evraz Group’s CFR Ba3 “is supported by its strong market share in long steel products, cost-efficient asset base, vertical integration into iron ore and coal, and end-market and global diversification.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; ###&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Investor Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8990 Moscow: +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;ir@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media Relations: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8998 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Fourth Closing and Extension of Share Exchange Offer to 7 February 2012</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1977/</link> <description>Full version of press release is available for eligible persons following this link: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;ul class=&quot;default ad&quot;&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/investor/shareholder_services/disclaimer.php?fileid=6&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; &gt;&lt;strong&gt;Press release of EVRAZ plc 27 January 2012&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (PDF | 156Kb) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;lc&quot;&gt;Uploaded 27.01.2012&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </description> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ Q4 2011 and FY 2011 Operational Results</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1976/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;EVRAZ plc (LSE: EVR) and Evraz Group S.A.

(LSE: EVRZ) (jointly referred to as &amp;ldquo;EVRAZ&amp;rdquo;) today announced plans to upgrade its Pueblo, Colo. (United States) rail facility. The upgrades are primarily focused on product quality and operational improvements and are also intended to expand head hardened rail manufacturing capacity. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; “As North American rail companies continually expand their networks, our customers are looking for world class head hardened rail to enable more tonnage to travel over their lines at a lower total cost,” said Pavel Tatyanin, Senior Vice President, Head of International Business, EVRAZ. “Our Pueblo facility is ideally suited to help fill this need, both in terms of its geographic location as well as the manufacturing expertise of our local team.” &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The investment is scheduled to be complete by the first quarter of 2013 and will increase the mill&amp;rsquo;s total capacity by 10%, to almost 525,000 metric tonnes of premium rail annually. Improvements will be made in head hardening, quality, and straightness and the facility’s labs will be upgraded to increase the rate of product development. EVRAZ will continue to supply steel for the rail facility from its adjacent steel mill, which recently received a permit to expand production capacity. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; “Embarking on this investment in our rail operations would not be possible without the recent approval by the state of Colorado of our revised air permit,” stated Mike Rehwinkel, President and CEO of EVRAZ North America. “This rigorous process has shown that we can produce world-class steel here in Colorado while being protective of the environment.” &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; EVRAZ Pueblo manufactures a comprehensive line of long products including head hardened rail, standard rail, premium rod and high quality coiled bar. EVRAZ Pueblo also produces seamless tube to support the expanding oil and gas sectors. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; ### &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;For further information:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media contact: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8990 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Investor contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; London: +44 207 832 8990 Moscow: +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt; </description> <pubDate>Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Intention to Cancel Listing of the Rule 144A GDRs</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1972/</link> <description> &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;20 December 2011 &lt;br /&gt; Evraz Group S.A.

This follows an intense focus on transformation within the company over the past year. EVRAZ Highveld was previously rated a Level 8 contributor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Recognising the importance of B-BBEE as a business and national strategy EVRAZ Highveld has taken a number of measures aimed at increasing diversity across all levels. This has involved improving representation of historically disadvantaged people in senior management structures; the provision of advancement opportunities to previously disadvantaged groups in the various management structures; education programmes aimed at skills development; preferential procurement, particularly among black owned SMMEs (small-, micro- and medium-sized enterprises); and, the development of local black owned businesses within the eMalahleni community to become preferred suppliers. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Also, a number of external projects were implemented to target the economic empowerment of communities, on both social and business levels, through education, health, housing and supply chain initiatives. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;EVRAZ Highveld aims to develop and support transformation both nationally as well as within the company. We strive to make our corporate structure reflective of the country&amp;rsquo;s demographics and to ensure that the principles of transformation are also reflected in the communities of EVRAZ Highveld’s operations&amp;rdquo;, says EVRAZ Highveld CEO, Michael Garcia. “In EVRAZ Highveld we strongly believe that transformation needs to be taken into consideration at all levels of the organisation as part of the business strategy. B-BBEE is part of our business philosophy and we are looking forward to moving further on and increasing our B-BBEE results.” &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; ***&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) is a programme launched by the South African government to redress the inequalities of Apartheid by giving historically disadvantaged groups economic opportunities previously not available to them. It includes measures such as employment equity, skills development, ownership, management, socio-economic development and preferential procurement. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;### &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Media contact: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:media@evraz.com&quot; &gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Investor contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:ir@evraz.com&quot; &gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Fri, 16 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ Showcased Advanced Solutions for the Railway Industry at EXPO 1520</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1954/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;10 September 2011&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; EVRAZ showcased a wide range of advanced railway products at the III International Railway Salon, Scherbinka (Moscow Region), 7th to10th September.

Whilst the Company&amp;rsquo;s main customer is The Russian Railways, the company also exports its products to the CIS, North America, Turkey, Vietnam, and the Baltic States. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;More than 30 items of EVRAZ railway-related products were demonstrated at the exhibition, including some recently developed unique solutions, namely; wheels with a Brinell hardness from 360 to 390; and heat-treated rails of improved quality. Currently, EVRAZ is the only company in Russia to have mastered these technologies. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;EVRAZ has undertaken several key projects designed to improve quality and to enhance its range of railway-related products, with the aim of reinforcing its position in the current market. By the end of 2013, EVRAZ will have completed the reconstruction of the rails and beams shop at EVRAZ ZSMK, and also of the wheel shop at EVRAZ NTMK. This will enable EVRAZ to take advantage of the prospective demand for high quality railway-related products, both in Russia and overseas. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;We see EXPO 1520 as an ideal venue, not only to showcase our company’s solutions and products, but also to share best practices with our colleagues from all over the world and to get better insights into industry perspectives&amp;rdquo;, said Oleg Kuzmin, EVRAZ Vice President, Corporate Communications. “Today, EVRAZ has accumulated extensive experience and has a clear focus on the unique developments taking place in the railway industry.

(LSE: EVR) (the &amp;ldquo;Company&amp;rdquo;) launches construction of a new coking coal mine Yerunakovskaya-VIII within its existing coal mining division Yuzhkuzbassugol (Kemerovo region, Russia). The total investment in the project will be c.17 billion roubles (approximately US$590 million) spent over the next three years. The coal mine is planned to start operations by mid-2013. By the end of 2014, the mine is expected to reach a total production capacity of 2 million tonnes of raw coking coal per annum. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Mine development will start from the Yerunakovskiy-VIII deposit with the potential for further expansion into the Yerunakovskiy-Vostochnyi deposit. Joint development of the two deposits will provide long-term stable mining operations and a guaranteed supply of high-quality hard coking coal. The estimated reserves of the new areas being developed are in excess of 85 million tonnes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The mine will be built in accordance with the highest standards of safety, health and environmental protection. It involves preliminary and in-seam methane drainage as well as construction of wastewater treatment facilities. Additionally, the Company will build a new handling capacity at Kazankovskaya railway station and a new local motorway for coal transportation. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This project is in line with EVRAZ&amp;rsquo;s strategy to further develop its coal mining operations. Construction of the new mine will increase the level of vertical integration, providing its steelmaking facilities with high quality coking coal.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;###&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media contact: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:media@evraz.com&quot; &gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Investor contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Conversion and Completion of Redemption of the Convertible Bonds Due 2014</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1951/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Fri, 05 Aug 2011 11:20:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ to Expand Portland Tubular Operations to Supply the Growing North American Energy Sector </title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1950/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Fri, 05 Aug 2011 11:05:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ is increasing its 2Q 2011 EBITDA guidance</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1949/</link> <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;3 August 2011&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - EVRAZ Group (LSE: EVR) (&amp;ldquo;EVRAZ&amp;rdquo; or the “Company”) announces today that it is increasing its EBITDA guidance for 2Q 2011 to US$875-950 million from a previously announced guidance range of US$750-825 million. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The increase in guidance reflects higher than expected steel prices, a later than expected increase in the cost of iron ore and scrap and the postponement of certain repairs until 3Q 2011. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; According to the management accounts, EVRAZ&amp;rsquo;s total debt as of 30 June 2011 was approximately US$7.4 billion and cash and cash equivalents amounted to approximately US$1.1 billion. Consequently, net debt amounted to approximately US$6.3 billion. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; As a result, the net debt/LTM EBITDA ratio as of 30 June 2011 is expected to be in the range of 2.18-2.25x (as 2H 2010 EBITDA was US$1,196 million), which is below the threshold imposed by debt covenants and gives the Company greater flexibility in the execution of its strategic plans. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; EVRAZ is also announcing today that it is considering listing alternatives to its existing GDR programme. In order to support this process, 1H 2011 financial results are being audited and are expected to be published on or around 12 October 2011.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;###&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For further information: &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Media contact: &lt;br /&gt; Oleg Kuzmin &lt;br /&gt; VP, Corporate Communications &lt;br /&gt; +7 495 937 6871 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;Investor contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ Receives IR Magazine Awards </title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1948/</link> <description>Giacomo Baizini, EVRAZ’s CFO, was announced as the winner of “Best investor relations by a CFO, large cap”.

EVRAZ is not an exporter of these particular coal grades. EVRAZ uses these types of coals mostly for consumption in its own coke batteries in Russia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;EVRAZ will cooperate fully with the investigation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;###&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For further information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Media contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alex Agoureev &lt;br /&gt; VP, Public Relations &lt;br /&gt; +7 985 122 4822 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:media@evraz.com&quot; &gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Investor contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:ir@evraz.com&quot; &gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ Vitkovice Steel Temporarily Shuts Down its Steel Shop</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1900/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;30 June 2010&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &amp;ndash; EVRAZ Group (LSE: EVR) (&amp;quot;EVRAZ&amp;quot; or the &amp;quot;Company&amp;quot;) announces the temporary closure of the steel shop at EVRAZ Vitkovice Steel (&amp;ldquo;EVS&amp;rdquo;), the Company&amp;rsquo;s Czech subsidiary, with effect from 1st July. The closure marks the current failure in negotiations between EVRAZ Vitkovice Steel and ArcelorMittal Ostrava over the prices for hot iron supplied by ArcelorMittal Ostrava.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;EVRAZ Vitkovice Steel fully proved its commitment for constructive dialogue and accepted AMO’s pricing formula proposal as a basis for further negotiations over the formula’s base price. ArcelorMittal Ostrava effectively rejected the proposal of EVS regarding the base price and officially stated that its position was unchanged.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The current annual steelmaking capacity of EVS is 950,000 tonnes of steel. The temporary closure of the steel shop will not in any way influence the plant's rolling production which will be maintained at the level achieved in recent months. EVS's rolling requirements will be covered by the supply of slabs from suppliers in Slovakia, Ukraine, Turkey, as well as EVRAZ's NTMK plant in Russia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;All the EVS steel shop workers will be required to remain in their positions or on standby, so that, if agreement with ArcelorMittal Ostrava is reached, they would be able to start up the steel shop immediately. The temporary closure plan also counts on alternative employment for the steel shop workers during the month of August, should the steel shop remain closed. There are no plans to lay off any workers during the temporary shutdown period.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;###&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For further information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Media contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alex Agoureev &lt;br /&gt; VP, Public Relations &lt;br /&gt; +7 985 122 4822 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:media@evraz.com&quot; &gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;media@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Investor contact: &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Boreyko &lt;br /&gt; Director, Investor Relations &lt;br /&gt; +7 495 232 1370 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:ir@evraz.com&quot; &gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EVRAZ Launches Rail Mill Reconstruction at NTMK</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1899/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;17 June 2010&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &amp;ndash; EVRAZ Group S.A.

US$70 million).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After the reconstruction the rail mill will produce 25-meter heat-treated rails with excellent surface characteristics and its annual capacity will increase from 400,000 to 550,000 tonnes.

A. (LSE:EVR) (&amp;laquo;Evraz&amp;raquo;) today announced that it has received clearance from the European Commission to acquire sole control of Highveld Steel and Vanadium Corporation Limited («Highveld»), subject to certain conditions. The clearance was received already in the first phase of the antimonopoly investigation process by the European Commission. Under conditions of this clearance, Evraz has committed to divest certain of Highveld's vanadium production facilities and related assets, including the Vanchem Operations located in Witbank, Republic of South Africa, and access to Highveld's Mapochs Mine and its 50% joint venture holdings in South Africa Japan Vanadium (Proprietary) Ltd. Evraz has also committed to maintaining existing vanadium feedstock supply agreements with certain customers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Evraz is investing in Highveld in order to further diversify geographically in steel production. Through Highveld, Evraz believes it will have access to the growing South African construction sector. The transaction will further ensure a source of local vanadium ore and slag supplies.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In an agreement announced on July 14, 2006, Evraz and Credit Suisse International each purchased a 24.9% stake in Highveld from Anglo South Africa Capital (Proprietary) Limited. Pursuant to that agreement, Evraz has an option to increase its stake in Highveld once regulatory approvals are received, including from competition authorities in South Africa. Evraz has already filed and is waiting for the approvals from the competition authorities in South Africa.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Evraz is entitled, once it receives all regulatory approvals, to purchase Anglo American's remaining 29.2% stake in Highveld as well as Credit Suisse's 24.9% stake through the exercise of separate option agreements. Upon exercise of these options, Evraz will own approximately 79% of all outstanding shares in Highveld and, as a result, will exercise sole control. Under South African law, Evraz will be required to make a mandatory general offer to all shareholders of Highveld after its ownership position exceeds 35%.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 6pt&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;For further information:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;Evraz Group&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0cm -19.25pt 0pt 0cm&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;Corporate Affairs and Investor Relations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;Irina Kibina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;Tel: +7 495 23&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;2 1370&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 6pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:IR@evraz.com&quot;&gt;ir@evraz.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;Edelman, for Evraz:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt&quot;&gt;John Dillard&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt; / Chris Mittendorf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;Tel: &lt;/span&gt;+1 212 704 8174 / 8134 &lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;e-mail: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:john.dillard@edelman.com&quot;&gt;john.dillard@edelman.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 6pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:christopher.mittendorf@edelman.com&quot;&gt;christopher.mittendorf@edelman.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 6pt&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 9pt&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 6pt&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </description> <pubDate>Wed, 21 Feb 2007 00:00:00 +0300</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Evraz Completes Acquisition of Oregon Steel</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1687/</link> <description> &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;LUXEMBOURG, January 23, 2007 - Evraz Group S.A.

(LSE: EVR) (&amp;rdquo;Evraz”) and Oregon Steel Mills (NYSE: OS) (&amp;ldquo;Oregon Steel”) today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement under which Evraz will acquire Oregon Steel for $63.25 per share, or an aggregate price of approximately $2.3 billion. The offer price of $63.25 per share represents a premium of 22.3% to Oregon Steel's three-month volume weighted average stock price or a premium of 30.3% to its six-month volume weighted average stock price. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Under the terms of the agreement, a newly formed Evraz subsidiary will make a cash tender offer for all shares of Oregon Steel common stock and then merge with Oregon Steel. The board of directors of Oregon Steel has unanimously recommended that the shareholders of Oregon Steel accept the offer. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The offer, which is expected to commence during the week of November 27, 2006, will be subject to customary conditions, including anti-trust and other regulatory clearances and the acquisition by Evraz of a majority of Oregon Steel&amp;rsquo;s shares. The offer will be followed by a merger at the same price. Upon completion of the transaction, Oregon Steel will become a subsidiary of Evraz. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&amp;ldquo;We are pleased to announce another transaction in line with our long-term strategy to develop higher value downstream markets complementary to Evraz slab production. This transaction will provide compelling benefits to both Evraz and Oregon Steel,&amp;rdquo; said Alexander Frolov, Evraz chairman. “The acquisition of Oregon Steel represents a solid platform for Evraz as a footprint in North America, one of the most important markets globally. This will secure an important place on the attractive plate market and in the expanding pipe business in North America. The combined company will also be the leading rail producer globally. Oregon Steel will benefit from having a reliable source of slabs, a necessity in the steel business. We are excited to bring together these two companies, which combined will enjoy exposure to some of the fastest growing, most profitable steel segments. Together, we will form a world-class company with efficient operations, diverse revenue streams and high margins.”&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Jim Declusin, Oregon Steel Mills president and chief executive officer, said: &amp;ldquo;Our management team and employees have successfully executed the strategy that was set forth three years ago and have delivered significant growth in sales and profitability, while investing in our facilities and expanding capacities. Over that period, we have created significant value for our shareholders increasing our share price by 1,802%, peaking at an all-time high of $58.96. We believe that this offer represents an attractive opportunity for Oregon Steel&amp;rsquo;s shareholders to realise the value of their investment in the Company. We are pleased to join with Evraz and become &lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;part of a leading global steelmaker&lt;/span&gt; with complementary strengths and markets. In the current steel environment, it is important to gain scale and expand market presence through consolidation. This combination will provide us with the &lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: black&quot;&gt;critical elements, including a secure source of slabs and additional financial resources, needed to compete in new and growing markets. &lt;/span&gt;We believe that this transaction will create new opportunities to share technology, research and development and enhance our combined leading positions in products such as rail.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Evraz believes that the combination will allow both companies to realise operating synergies based on steady supplies of high quality slabs from Evraz steel mills. Furthermore, Evraz anticipates Oregon Steel&amp;rsquo;s highly efficient pipe operations will provide it access to the expanding North American oil and gas markets. The combined company will produce over 16.8 million tonnes [1] of crude steel and will have over 17.4 million tonnes [1] of steel shipments in 2006.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Evraz expects that Oregon Steel will maintain its head office in Portland, Oregon, and does not expect any material changes to its personnel following the completion of the transaction.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Credit Suisse is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Evraz and will be the dealer-manager for the tender offer. UBS Securities LLC is acting as lead financial advisor to Oregon Steel in the transaction, and KeyBanc Capital Markets delivered a fairness opinion to Oregon Steel&amp;rsquo;s board of directors. Cleary Gottlieb Steen &amp;amp; Hamilton LLP is acting as legal counsel to Evraz, and Covington &amp;amp; Burling LLP and Schwabe, Williamson &amp;amp; Wyatt, PC are acting as legal counsel to Oregon Steel.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;The tender offer described herein has not commenced.

(LSE: EVR) announces that its major Russian operating subsidiaries[1] have filed financial results with the Federal Financial Markets Service of the Russian Federation (FFMS) for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The results are prepared in accordance with Russian accounting standards (RAS). &lt;/p&gt; &lt;em&gt; &lt;p&gt;The filing of RAS accounting results for Evraz&amp;rsquo;s major Russian operating subsidiaries is a Russian regulatory requirement. RAS accounting results differ materially from IFRS and are not comparable to financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The RAS accounting results of Evraz's major Russian subsidiaries are not indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of these entities or of Evraz Group S.A. under IFRS. Reference should be made only to Evraz Group S.A.’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for information with respect to Evraz’s financial condition and results of operations.RAS accounting results are not approved by external auditors and the Internal Audit Committee of Evraz Group S.A.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Evraz Group S.A. publishes consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for the six months ended June 30 and for the year ended December 31, in each year.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/em&gt; &lt;p&gt;[1] - The major subsidiary companies include: OAO Nizhny Tagil Iron and Steel Plant (NTMK); OAO West Siberian Iron and Steel Plant (Zapsib); OAO Kachkanarsky Mining and Processing Integrated Works (KGOK); OAO Vysokogorsky Mining and Processing Integrated Works (VGOK)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;Highlights&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Higher sales volumes and increased prices for steel products fuelled profit growth at NTMK and ZapSib&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The net profit of NTMK and ZapSib for 3Q 2006 went up 95.7% and 672.2% respectively vs. 3Q 2005 as a result of increased sales volumes and stronger prices in the domestic and export markets while the increased costs for iron ore were partially offset by lower prices for coking coal year-on-year.ZapSib&amp;rsquo;s outstanding results are particularly attributable to significant increase in slabs sales after commissioning of a slab caster in November 2005, and growth in construction products sales driven by robust demand in the Russian market.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KGOK and VGOK net profit increase significantly due to strong prices&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The two GOKs&amp;rsquo; 3Q 2006 net profits expanded more than fivefold due to higher prices and growing production volumes at KGOK.

3 1 share is represented by 3 GDRs &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Valery Khoroshkovsky&lt;/strong&gt;, Evraz Group&amp;rsquo;s CEO, commented:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;laquo;Evraz achieved satisfactory results during the first six months of 2006 especially when compared with the exceptional performance supported by high steel prices in the first half of 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Contributing to our record high revenues in the first half of 2006 was significant sales volume increase from the successful business integration of the European steel mills acquisitions coupled with strong organic growth in Russia delivered from the group&amp;rsquo;s capital investment programme.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Additionally, steel prices have shown good recovery starting from March 2006 from the lower levels seen in the second half of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Evraz has continued to reduce its steel costs by increasing operational efficiency and achieving a higher level of production as a result of our capital investment programme.&amp;raquo;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Commenting on the outlook for the remainder of 2006 and beyond&lt;strong&gt; Valery Khoroshkovsky&lt;/strong&gt; said:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;laquo;In the second half of 2006, Evraz will continue to enhance its position as one of the most cost-effective and profitable integrated steel producing and mining groups in Russia and CIS while expanding and strengthening its presence in non-Russian markets. Evraz will continue to focus on cost management and ongoing efficiency improvements to enhance our competitiveness in the global steel market.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Evraz intends to deliver further benefits from the integration of the recent acquisitions, facilitating a gradual shift in product mix towards higher margin products.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our volumes are expected to remain strong for the rest of the year with the rolled products output increasing 22% year-on-year to 10.8 million tonnes in the first nine months of 2006. We expect the price recovery which started in the second quarter of 2006 to continue on the back of growing demand.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The acquisition of Strategic Minerals Corporation in August will contribute both to the group&amp;rsquo;s revenue and profit growth and our equity investment in Highveld Steel and Vanadium Corporation will further support our earnings.&amp;raquo;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary Results:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Evraz&amp;rsquo;s&lt;strong&gt; consolidated revenues&lt;/strong&gt; increased by 5.3% to US$3,825 million in the first six months of 2006 from US$3,632 million in the first six months of 2005. The majority of this increase is attributable to the acquisitions of Palini e Bertoli and Vitkovice Steel, both of which produce mainly high value-added flat products, and to increased slab exports due to the commencement of production of a new slab caster at ZapSib. Total volumes of steel products sold in the first half of 2006 were 8.3 million tonnes, up 23% from 6.8 million tonnes in the first half of 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the first six months of 2006, &lt;strong&gt;consolidated cost of revenues&lt;/strong&gt; amounted to US$2,520million compared with US$2,251 million in the first half of 2005. Cost of revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues increased from 62.0% reported in the first half of 2005 to 65.9% in the first half of 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher share of iron ore purchased from third parties to meet the increased production volumes of the group&amp;rsquo;s Russian steel mills. &lt;strong&gt;Gross profit&lt;/strong&gt; was down 5.5% half-on-half at US$1,305 million from US$1,381 million.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the first half of 2006, &lt;strong&gt;revenues from non-Russian sales&lt;/strong&gt; amounted to US$1,925million, or 50.3% of total sales compared with US$1,558 million, or 42.9% in the first half of 2005. The increased share of non-Russian revenues was attributable to the growth in export sales volumes, provided by both Evraz Russian operations as well as the contributions of the recently acquired plate mills &amp;mdash; Vitkovice Steel and Palini e Bertoli.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Profit from operations&lt;/strong&gt; decreased by 6.7% to US$938 million in the first half of 2006 from US$1,005 million in the corresponding period of 2005. Profit from operations as a percentage of consolidated revenues decreased from 27.7% in the first half of 2005 to 24.5% in the first half of 2006. This reduction is largely attributable to the decrease in consolidated gross profit margin.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consolidated EBITDA&lt;/strong&gt; showed only a slight reduction of US$23 million (down 2.0%) in the first half of 2006 to US$1,096 million, or 28.7% of revenues compared with US$1,119million, or 30.8% in the first half of 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the first half of 2006, the Company reported consolidated &lt;strong&gt;net profit attributable to equity holders of Evraz Group&lt;/strong&gt; of US$571 million vs. US$612 million in 2005. Lower net profit is mainly explained by a greater depreciation charge, as well as a higher effective tax rate. In the first half of 2006, the income tax charge amounted to $241 million, which is an effective tax rate of 28.3%, up from 26.0% in the first half of 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate reflects mainly the tax effect of higher dividend distribution of profits from Evraz&amp;rsquo;s Russian consolidated subsidiaries to Evraz Group S.A.&lt;/p&gt;

Steel segment revenues were negatively affected by average lower prices for steel products in the first half of 2006 as compared with the first half of 2005. The increase of 23% in overall sales volumes in the first six months of 2006 mitigated lower average prices for some steel products.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Steel production from the recently acquired Palini e Bertoli (mid-August 2005), and Vitkovice Steel (mid-November 2005), provided a substantial growth of plate sales and contributed solidly to non-Russian sales of the Group.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the first half of 2006, &lt;strong&gt;the steel segment profit from operations&lt;/strong&gt; increased by 8.4% to US$841 million, or 22.3% of steel segment revenues, from US$776 million, and 21.2% of steel segment revenues in the first half of 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the first half of 2006 &lt;strong&gt;adjusted EBITDA in the steel segment&lt;/strong&gt; totalled US$957 million and 25.4% of steel segment revenues, compared with $854 million, and 23.3% in the first half of 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mining Segment Results&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table id=&quot;NewsTable&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Six months to June 30&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; (US$ million unless otherwise stated)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1H 2006&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1H 2005&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;Change&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f0f0f0&quot; colspan=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Revenues&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;480&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;594&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;(19.2)%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Profit from operations&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;106&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;224&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;(52.7)%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Adjusted EBITDA&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;133&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;253&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;(47.4)%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Adjusted EBITDA margin&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;27.7%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;42.6%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mining Segment Production&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table id=&quot;NewsTable&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Six months to June 30&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; (million tonnes)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1H 2006&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1H 2005&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;Change&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Iron ore&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Concentrate&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1.3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;(15.3)%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Sinter&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;4.6&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;(6.5)%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pellets&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.0&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;2.8&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;7.1%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Reference&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;1&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Coking coal (Raspadskaya)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.4&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;3.3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;3.0%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Coal (Yuzhkuzbassugol)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.7&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;n/a&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;n/a&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mining segment revenues&lt;/strong&gt; fell by 19.2% to US$480 million in the first half of 2006, compared with US$594 million in the corresponding period in 2005. While sale volumes were relatively stable &lt;nobr&gt;(-3.4%),&lt;/nobr&gt; revenue fell principally as a result of a decline in average prices of iron ore.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Almost all of Evraz mining segment sales consist of iron ore. Evraz mining segment supplied approximately 71% of the steel segment&amp;rsquo;s iron ore requirements. This decrease from 76% in the first half of 2005 in the proportion of iron ore sourced internally was caused by the substantial increase in steel production from the Russian steel mills in the first half of 2006.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The mining segment profit from operations&lt;/strong&gt; decreased by 52.7% to US$106 million in the first half of 2006, or 22.0% of mining segment revenues. This compares with US$224million, or 37.7% of mining segment revenues in the corresponding period in 2005. The decrease is largely attributable to lower average prices of iron ore.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adjusted EBITDA in the mining segment&lt;/strong&gt; declined by 47.4% to US$133 million, or 27.7% of mining segment revenues in the first half of 2006 from US$253 million, or 42.6% in the corresponding period in 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consolidated Group Financial Position&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Cash flow&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cash flow from operating activities&lt;/strong&gt; increased by 24.3% year-on-year to US$904 million from US$727 million. The increase in net cash generated by operations was primarily due to a substantial decrease in net working capital requirement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cash used in investing activities&lt;/strong&gt; was US$1,036 million in the first half of 2006 vs. US$657 million in the first half of 2005. This includes short-term deposits in the amount of US$264 million, the first payment of US$10 million for the acquisition of Stratcor as well as US$275 million paid as the last instalment for the shares of Yuzhkuzbassugol purchased in December 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the first half of 2006 &lt;strong&gt;capital expenditure&lt;/strong&gt; amounted to US$262 million compared with US$280 million in the first half of 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Balance sheet&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table id=&quot;NewsTable&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Estimated Liquidity&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; (US$ million)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As of 30 June 2006&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As of 31 December 2005&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f0f0f0&quot; colspan=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Cash and cash equivalents&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;482&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;641&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Amount available under credit facilities&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;744&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;716&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Short-term bank deposits&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;287&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;16&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total estimated liquidity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1,513&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1,373&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;Net debt increased when compared with 30 June 2005 by US$1,384 million to US$2,120 million as of 30 June 2006.

(«Evraz») and Credit Suisse («Credit Suisse») are pleased to announce that agreement has been reached in relation to the sale by Anglo American of its shares in Highveld Steel and Vanadium Corporation Limited («Highveld»). Evraz and Credit Suisse have each acquired 24.9% of Highveld&amp;rsquo;s share capital from Anglo American. These sales have closed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Evraz has an option to increase its stake in Highveld once regulatory approvals are received, including from competition authorities in South Africa and elsewhere. Evraz intends to file for such regulatory approvals as soon as possible. Subject to Evraz receiving such regulatory approvals, Evraz will be entitled to purchase Anglo American&amp;rsquo;s remaining 29.2% shareholding as well as the 24.9% holding of Credit Suisse through separate option agreements. Should Evraz increase its interest beyond 35%, it will be obliged to make an offer to all shareholders of Highveld.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;On implementation of the Anglo American option arrangement, the aggregate amount that will have been realised by Anglo American for its 79% interest in Highveld is R4,885m (US$678m converted to ZAR at R7.20/US$, the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of this announcement), equivalent to an average of R62.36 per Highveld share. This represents a 13% premium to the volume weighted average price of R55.15 per share for the &lt;nobr&gt;30-day&lt;/nobr&gt; period preceding Anglo American&amp;rsquo;s announcement on 26 October 2005 in which it recorded, inter alia, its intention to dispose of its shareholding in Highveld.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Anglo American and Credit Suisse have agreed that Anglo American will retain the voting rights in respect of the shares acquired by Credit Suisse. Anglo American will retain representatives on the Highveld board until such time as Anglo American disposes of all its shares in Highveld.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Evraz&amp;rsquo;s Chairman, Alexander Frolov, said: &amp;laquo;Evraz has great confidence in the South African steel industry and is excited by its new investment in Highveld and by the outlook for steel and vanadium markets. The South African steel market is experiencing strong demand growth driven by an upswing in new mining, infrastructure and industrial projects. We have high expectations of Highveld’s internal growth plans for both its vanadium and steel businesses, including the expansion plan in excess of R1bn which will increase steel output by more than 20%. Evraz is committed to advancing black economic empowerment at Highveld.&amp;raquo;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Tony Trahar, Chief Executive of Anglo American, said: &amp;laquo;This represents another important step in the execution of the Group&amp;rsquo;s strategy as announced in October last year. This substantial foreign direct investment by Evraz and Credit Suisse in South Africa is a strong vote of confidence in the country’s prospects and will ensure that Highveld remains an efficient competitor in the South African and global markets.&amp;raquo;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Citigroup has acted as exclusive financial adviser to Anglo American with respect to the transaction. Credit Suisse and ABN Amro have acted as joint financial advisers to Evraz.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notes to editors:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Highveld&lt;/strong&gt; Steel and Vanadium is a leading vanadium producer and also produces steel, ferroalloys, and carbonaceous products.

(LSE: EVR), one of the leading vertically integrated steel production and mining businesses with operations mainly in Russia, today announces it acquired 75% plus 1 share of Palini e Bertoli SpA. (&amp;ldquo;Palini &amp;amp; Bertoli&amp;rdquo;, “Palini”). &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The acquisition will allow Evraz Group S.A. to build on Palini's strengths as a producer of customized, high-quality plate products to penetrate new geographic markets, secure captive customer base for its slabs outside Russia and further improve the margin from the sale outside Russia of higher value-added steel products. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The remaining 25% less 1 share would be held by certain of Palini's former owners (Annia S.r.l.), including members of its senior management, and would be subject to a call option, pre-emptive rights and lock-up arrangements in favor of Evraz as well as a put option in favor of the current shareholders.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The acquisition was financed by a combination of debt and equity. MPS Venture SGR, a private equity arm of Monte dei Paschi Group, was one of the selling shareholders in the transaction. Morgan Stanley &amp;amp; Co. Limited acted as financial advisor and Pavia e Ansaldo acted as a legal advisor to Evraz on this transaction. Debt finance was provided by ABN AMRO N.V.

Bottom-line growth was underpinned by tight control over costs and a change in mix towards highly profitable products. Our major capex initiatives at NTMK resulted in sizeable yield improvements, for example, a new slab caster put on stream last September enabled us save about US$30 per tonne of slab. These improvements further enhanced NTMK&amp;rsquo;s profitability with the EBITDA margin reaching 32.8% from 22.7% and net margin improving to 19.0% from 7.8%&amp;rdquo;. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Results of operations&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2004, net revenue rose 98.4% to US$2,055 million from US$1,036 million in 2003. This revenue growth was driven by increased average selling prices for NTMK products and increased output.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;table id=&quot;NewsTable&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Product&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;2004 &lt;br /&gt; (&amp;lsquo;000 tonnes) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;2003 &lt;br /&gt; (&amp;lsquo;000 tonnes) &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Change, Y-o-Y, %&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Coke&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;3,033&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;2,919&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;3.9&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pig iron &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;4,782&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;4,804 &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;-0.5&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Steel&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;5,482 &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;5,467&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;0.3&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Rolled products &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;4,903&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;4,782 &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;2.5&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; In 2004, NTMK generated operating profit of US$568.9 million, a 186.8% increase over 2003. This represented an improvement in the operating profit margin to 27.7% from 13% in 2003. The main drivers of increased profitability were higher sales volumes and improved yields as a result of ongoing modernisation capex. In 2004, NTMK completed reconstruction of a blast furnace which enabled significant yield improvements and associated cost savings on the 1.7 million tonnes of pig iron produced annually. 1.5 million tonnes per annum of new continuous slab casting capacity brought on line in 2004 increased yields from 82% to 96%.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2004, Adjusted EBITDA was US$673.5 million, a 186.8% increase on 2003. This represented an improvement in the Adjusted EBITDA margin to 32.8% from 22.7% in 2003. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Net income reached US$391.4 million in 2004, compared with US$80.7 million in 2003. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Financial position&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Last year, as part of Evraz&amp;rsquo;s strategy of further vertical intergration and expansion of its mining segment NTMK spent US$160.76 million to acquire 50.58% of Kachkanarsky Ore Mining and Processing Enterprise &amp;ldquo;Vanadiy&amp;rdquo; (“KGOK”). Subsequently NTMK obtained a controlling interest with the acquisition of an additional 7.10% ownership interest for US$16.1 million. The results of operations at KGOK have been consolidated in NTMK’s consolidated financial statements from November 11, 2004.

As a result of tight control over costs of production ZapSib&amp;rsquo;s operating profit quadrupled and operating margin reached 30.3%. In 2004, we started a major upgrade of Zapsib’s production facilities and, looking forward, we see 2005 as a year of continued intensive investment into efficiency-driven modernisation&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;u&gt;Results of operations&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Net revenue rose 89.8% to US$1,942 million in 2004 from US$1,023 million in 2003. This revenue growth was driven by improved prices for Zapsib&amp;rsquo;s steel products in its key markets, despite a slight production output decrease resulting from the planned reconstruction of a blast furnace. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;table id=&quot;NewsTable&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Product&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;2004 &lt;br /&gt; (&amp;lsquo;000 tonnes)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;2003 &lt;br /&gt; (&amp;lsquo;000 tonnes)&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Change, Y-o-Y, %&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Coke&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;3,383&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;3,410&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;-0.8&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pig iron&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;4,558&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;4,897&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;-6.9&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Steel&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;5,603&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;5,931&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;-5.5&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Rolled products&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;4,903&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;5,317&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;-6.2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; ZapSib generated operating profit of US$588.8 million, a 310.4% increase over the 2003 figure of US$143.5 million. This translates into an increase in the operating profit margin to 30.3% from 14.0% in 2003. The main drivers of this increase in profitability were higher revenues and continued focus on cost reduction. In May 2004, ZapSib re-commissioned a blast furnace, reducing the risk of production interruptions and enabling better utilization of existing oxygen converter facilities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2004, Adjusted EBITDA was US$657.2 million, 196.7% higher than the 2003 figure of US$221.5 million. This translates into an increase in the EBITDA margin to 33.8% from 21.6% in 2003.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Net income reached US$382.0 million, compared to US$100.7 million in 2003. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Financial position&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Last year, as part of Evraz&amp;rsquo;s strategy of further vertical intergration and expansion of its mining segment Zapsib spent US$74.0 million to acquire 33.40% of Kachkanarsky Ore Mining and Processing Enterprise &amp;ldquo;Vanadiy&amp;rdquo; (“KGOK”). Subsequently ZapSib acquired an additional 6.55% ownership interest for US$14.9 million. ZapSib’s share in profits of KGOK amounting to US$18.0 million was included into its consolidated income statement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2004, payments for property, plant and equipment amounted to US$120.1 million.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;During the year, Zapsib repaid its liabilities under the Settlement Agreement ahead of schedule, except for the amounts of US$90.1 million payable to NKMK. Payments under the Settlement Agreement amounted to US$59.4 million.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As of December 31, 2004 total debt (short-term and long-term loans and borrowings) was US$140.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$21.9 million.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As of December 31, 2004 total assets amounted to US$1.118 billion compared to US$625 million as of December 31, 2003.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; # # #&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;table cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;75%&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/defa/i/ico-pdf.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/common/img/uploaded/files/050719_Press_release_ZSMK_2004_IFRS_results_eng.pdf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;View full version of press release&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For further information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Evraz Group&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Corporate Affairs and Communications &lt;br /&gt; Irina Kibina &lt;br /&gt; Alexander Karlashov &lt;br /&gt; Tel: +7 095 234 4629 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:IR@eam.ru&quot;&gt;IR@eam.ru&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Merlin&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Michael Rummel &lt;br /&gt; Lachlan Johnston &lt;br /&gt; Peter Otero &lt;br /&gt; Maria Suleymanova &lt;br /&gt; Tel: +44 207 653 6620 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:msuleymanova@merlinpr.com&quot;&gt;msuleymanova@merlinpr.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Evraz Group S.A. to acquire Vitkovice Steel in Czech Republic</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1691/</link> <description> &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Selected by the Government of Czech Republic in privatisation tender auction&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acquisition in line with strategy to develop Group&amp;rsquo;s presence in the established European markets &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Moscow, July 13, 2005&lt;/em&gt; &amp;ndash; Evraz Group S.A.

In 2004, Evraz produced 13.7 million tonnes of crude steel. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Evraz’s principal assets include three of the leading steel plants in Russia: Nizhny Tagil (NTMK) in the Urals region, and West Siberian (Zapsib) and Novokuznetsk (NKMK) in Siberia. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Evraz Group’s fast-growing mining businesses comprise the Kachkanarsky (KGOK), Evrazruda (acquired in March 2005) and Vysokogorsky (VGOK) iron ore mining complexes and NeryungriUgol coal company and an equity interest in the Raspadskaya coal mine. The mining assets primarily supply Evraz Group’s steelmaking operations, enabling the company to be a vertically-integrated steel producer, limiting its exposure to fluctuations in the prices of key raw materials. Evraz obtained over 70% of its iron ore requirements from KGOK, Evraz Ruda and VGOK in 2004 and also obtains the majority of its coking coal from Raspadskaya and other affiliated producers. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Evraz also owns and operates the Nakhodka commercial sea port, in the Far East of Russia, which facilitates access to Asian export markets.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Evraz Group Amends Covenant Terms on Bonds</title> <link>http://evraz.com/media/news/1689/</link> <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Moscow, June 17, 2005&lt;/em&gt; - Evraz Group S.A., one of the largest vertically-integrated steel and mining businesses with operations mainly in Russia, today announces that on 31 May 2005 at a meeting of Noteholders (the &amp;quot;Noteholders&amp;quot;) of U.S.$175,000,000 8.875 per cent.
