New Market Research Report: Russia Mining Report Q1 2011

Recently published research from Business Monitor International, "Russia Mining Report Q1 2011", is now available at Fast Market Research
 
Jan. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- The recent global downturn and the resulting crisis in the Russian economy had a negative effect on the mining sector, which had zero growth in 2008 and suffered a 9% decline in 2009. In 2010, however, BMI expects a return to growth of 7% to end on a total value of RUB4.01tn or US$162bn. We predict this growth to be consolidated in succeeding years with 4-7% real year-on-year (y-o-y) growth up to 2014.

The growth is likely to be led by the big players in Russian mining. The past few months have seen some major Russian companies acquiring assets and expanding their global trading base. Atomredmetzoloto (ARMZ), the mining division of Rosatom, the state energy agency, has acquired a controlling interest in leading Canadian miner Uranium One which has been described as stage one of further mining acquisitions. Rosatom's Chief Executive Sergei Kiriyenko has been conducting a PR offensive in the West and makes no secret that he wants his agency to diversify its operation across the nuclear industry, of which uranium extraction will play a big part.

Meanwhile, Russian business tycoon Suleiman Kerimov and his associates have been planning the merger of Russian miners Uralkali and Silvinit, to dominate the Russian potash mining business. If he succeeds, the company could become the world's second largest potash producer.

Russian companies are also becoming increasingly global in outlook as further evidenced by Londonlisted miner Petropavlovsk's decision to look at a listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange to raise fund for the development of iron ore mines. The company, normally associated with gold production is looking to diversify its operations in Russia's far east.

However, things are not always going to run smoothly. The saga of Polyus Gold's ambitious plan to get listed on the FTSE100 through a complicated reverse takeover of Kazakhgold appears to have come unstuck resulting in a lawsuit in London, frozen bank accounts in Astana and the possible suspension of production in Kazakhstan.

Russian mining companies will also be wary about the decline in confidence of international companies doing business in Russia. The recently reported results of Frasers 2010 Mining Survey show a big drop in the perception as Russia as a favourable environment for business. Russia dropped from 29th to 46th out of the 51 regions covered with 50% of respondents claiming that attitudes to the mining business in Russia had become more hostile. International mining executives were clear that they wanted to see more clarity and consistency in mining regulations, as well political stability and attention paid to security concerns.

Despite these problems with its vast territory, Russia remains a mining powerhouse, which BMI expects will further develop over the next few years. It is estimated the sector will be worth US$236bn by 2014.
