The Coal andCoke Division
combines the coal mining and coke and chemical companies of Metinvest
Group. Coal mines extract metallurgical coal of grades “Ж” and
“К”,
which are then used for producing blast furnace coke – the raw material for pig
iron production. The Group’s coke-producing facilities fully satisfy the
demands of the steel making companies of Metinvest Group in blast furnace coke.
In 2007 the Division’s mines produced over 5.74 million
tons of coal, and Avdeyevka Coke and Chemical Plant, which operates as a part
of the Division, produced more than 3 million tons of blast furnace coke.
