  • Low production costs
  • Current high prices (generate enough cash for future)

Additionally, the equity report writes, "All the branches will easily operate their pits during next 35 years owing to significant coal resources.”

Kuzbassrazrezugol is working on a $300–500 million project to build a new coal export port named Lavna in the Kolskiy bay of the Barents Sea, to be capable of shipping 18 million tons of coal per year.[9] This was a joint project with Siberian Business Union until the latter withdrew in 2013.[10]
