The Federal Antimonopoly Service has allowed the Tominsky Mining and Processing Works (a part of the Russian Copper Company) to buy a 50% stake in Chelyabinsk Coal Company.
In October 2016 the press-service of the Chelabinsk region governor reported RMK planned to acquire shares of ChUK to recultivate Korkinsky coal pit.
RMK needed the deal to construct Tominsky GOK to process ore. When the GOK is put into operation RMK will increase its output 1.5-fold. (Ukrainian metal)
