POWER Krivoy Rog allowed to develop MINE `` PERVOMAJjSKAJa

Relevant documents mayor Yuri Krivoy Rog Lyubonenko conveyed to the Board of JSC Ilyich Iron and Steel Works named. Lenin #39;, people#39;s deputy Volodymyr Boyko in the course of Wednesday visiting session of the Parliamentary Committee on Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship. Boyko expressed the hope that the State Property Fund and the government will realize that we are working normally, and allow us to exploit the mine.

Illichyvets already working in Krivoy Rog [on issues related to the mine], - said the Chairman of the Board. According to the results of the meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship recommended Ministry of Industrial Policy to develop a mechanism to attract potential investors for the expansion of industrial production of iron ore and the creation of new jobs. Currently in Krivoy Rog, there are three previously decommissioned mine. On receipt of a license to develop the mine, May Day pretend Northern Mining, Poltava GOK and Mariupol.

Lenin. SevGOK Management considers it logical to transfer the mine because of the proximity of the mine and mill, as well as referring to the findings of international experts of SRK Consulting. SevGOK It appealed to the Government, the Ministry of Industrial Policy and the State Property Fund with a request to consider the interest of the plant in redemption or rent a whole property complex of mine May Day. Mine May Day was suspended in 1997 due to lack of funds to upgrade the equipment and the development of new horizons.

Currently integral property complex of mine May Day is part of the Krivbassgidrozaschity . Mine May Day is located near the northern edge of the Pershamaiski career on the same field. SevGOK produces a concentrate and pellets for steel production, the company controls the System Capital Management.

RUSSIA TO 2010

RUSSIA TO 2010, THE MAY INCREASE EXPORTS OF COAL PRODUCTION TO 100 - 110 million tons.

This was stated by President of ROSA Holding Alexander Bobovnikov during the third annual conference Russian coal markets , held in Moscow. In its report, The Ways of increasing the volume of exports of Russian coal: the main directions of logistics and transport strategy, he pointed out to the the fact that the global trends and the situation on the international coal market today add up clearly in favor of Russia, which may take the new niche markets not only European and Asian countries, but also in South and North America, including the United States. One of the biggest problems in the industry - the lack of deep-water berths. Because of the inability to handle vessels with a large displacement increases dramatically chartering component of the cost of transportation, which has a negative impact on the competitiveness of Russian ports, - said Alexander Bobovnikov

STABLE DEMAND FOR DIAMONDS IN 2005

Stable DEMAND FOR DIAMONDS IN 2005

The world#39;s largest supplier of diamonds, the company De Beers, said the other day that due to the increasing demand for diamonds in the United States, the company expects strong demand for its products this year. The company De Beers, majority-owned by mining giant Anglo American, after the presentation in February, its annual report, said that 2005 will be more favorable for diamond otorasli than the previous two. In 2004, sales of rough diamonds increased by 3% to $ 5.7 billion. De Beers, controlling about half of the world#39;s supply of diamonds, do not state clearly whether they will force up prices this year.

It has been said that they are considering raising prices, but do not know how much. In 2004, De Beers raised rough diamond prices three times, only about 14%, and once this year by 3%. Analysts say that this was done to compensate for the falling value of the dollar relative to other currencies.

The company said that of the seven mines in South Africa, only two are profitable, and warned of possible reductions in staff. CEO, Gary Ralph, said the company hopes to begin delights in Angola this year, to continue research in Russia, where they also hope to start production. He also said that there was a conflict between the company#39;s business strategy proposed by De Beers and the South African law, which requires that the processing of some of the diamonds mined in the country took place, and imposes export duty as a deterrent.

TENDER FOR SUPPLY OF COAL MAY RECOGNIZE ILLEGAL

TENDER FOR SUPPLY OF COAL MAY RECOGNIZE ILLEGAL

In the Court of Arbitration of the Nizhny Novgorod region on April 18 were preliminary hearing on the claim of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) in the Nizhny Novgorod region to the regional government. FAS requests to declare invalid the results of the government tender for the supply of coal for the needs of the region, because the conditions of competition limited the access of businesses to participate. Open competition for the supply of coal fuel for municipalities and public institutions in the region in 2005 was held GP Nizhny Novgorod clearinghouse December 16, 2004.

The winner of the contest was considered of Siberian Coal Energy Company, which was awarded the contract for delivery in 2005 85 tons of high-quality coal at the price of 1360.34 rubles per ton and 65 tons of raw coal at the price of 1,229.55 rubles ton. The conditions of competition have not arranged one of his potential participants - Ltd. The European branch Sibirenergougolsnab, which even before the contest turned in the Nizhny Novgorod administration of the FAS with the application for an unjustified restriction of access to participation in the contest. The tender documentation contained excessive demands: the tender was open to entities that have registered capital of not less than 1 million rubles, and net assets of not less than 10 million rubles. Having seen in the actions of the regional government of signs of art.

9 of the Federal Law On Competition and Restriction of Monopolistic Activity in Commodity Markets, FAS sent to the Court of Arbitration of the Nizhny Novgorod region claim to recognize the results of the contest null and void. The representative of the Government on April 18 during the case explained that the reason for not contesting the results of the competition. In the Siberian Coal Energy Company is also considered unfounded claims of antitrust authorities and expressed doubt that the arbitral tribunal determines that the results of the contest null and void.

As explained in the company, this will entail termination of the contract. The parties will be required to return to each other all of the transaction, that is, the administration of the Nizhny Novgorod region will have to return the coal, which it has already burned. If a decision is made, there is always the possibility to appeal. With all hands to realize it will not be possible, - concluded the source. At the same time, the FAS explained that in the case of satisfaction of the court of arbitration of the claim results will be declared null and void, which would entail invalidation of the contract and delivery.

But since supplies are involved in the process too many organizations, it is possible that a change in conditions can be applied only during the next competition. Consideration of the merits of the arbitral tribunal of the Nizhny Novgorod region is scheduled for April 21. Source: rosugol.

COAL IN ROSTOV REGION

COAL IN ROSTOV REGION

Coal mines in the Rostov region in the first nine months of this year produced 4.1 million tons of coal, which is 7% higher than the same period last year, told the Minister of Industry of the region Alexander Grebenschikov.

`Movement in the coal industry happy, is planned growth figures: in the first nine months of coal production is 107%, and at the end of the year expect the same growth #39;- the minister said, adding that in 2011 was produced 5.25 million tons forecast for the current year - 5.6 million tons of coal.

Grebenschikov stressed that these figures are good enough, considering that on the one hand, a number of mines in the region this year was in a simple, but on the other hand, the entire coal industry is facing problems due to the low price of coal on the world market.

Investment in the coal industry in the first nine months amounted to about 1.5 billion rubles by the end of the year is expected to amount - about 2 billion rubles, which is also a few percent will exceed the 2011.

In the Rostov region today has eight mines: Sadkinskaya `` `Diamond`, `Eastern`, `Far`, `Sherlovskaya-inclined`, `Rostov`, `Zamchalovskaya` and `` Obukhovskaya.

GOLD MINING AND PRODUCTION IN RUSSIA

Gold mining and production in Russia

Russian enterprises in January-September 2012. According to preliminary data, increased mining and production of gold in comparison with the same period last year by 3.1% - up to 160.9 tonnes, according to RBC#39;s head of the Union of Gold Sergei Kashuba.

Gold mining of mineral resources for the 9 months of this year increased by 4.7% to 144.4 tons, passing production grew by 2.8% - to 11.8 t In this case the secondary gold production (from scrap and waste) decreased by 30.1% - up to 4.7 tonnes

IN KALININGRAD REGION FALLS MINING

In Kaliningrad Region FALLS MINING

In the Kaliningrad region and the mining operations in September 2012 was not as successful - only 92.1% as compared to September last year, the relevant data is provided by Rosstat.

In this case, the statistics in other regions of the North-West said that the Kaliningrad showed one of the worst results, giving the Komi Republic, Murmansk, Leningrad, Novgorod and Pskov regions, and especially losing to the Vologda region, where mining was 59.6% versus September 2011 year.

In general, in January-September 2012 in the Kaliningrad region produced only 90.6% of the January-September 2011 - and the third since the end of the result in the Northwestern Federal District. The greatest success here shown by representatives of the Pskov region - 68.3%.

Even if we consider the statistics of September 2012 to August 2012, here we get a result in only 96.9%.

NEW TAX RATE ON MINERALS WILL BE APPROVED BY THE END OF THE YEAR

NEW TAX RATE ON MINERALS WILL BE APPROVED BY THE END OF THE YEAR

Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Shatalov said that by December of this year, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Energy agree on a new formula for the tax on the mining operations on the gas, RIA Novosti reported on November 5 `news`.

The new formula, according to the deputy minister, will take into account the dynamics of the export price and the complexity of the design of each particular field.

At the same time, as noted by Shatalov, the Finance Ministry is not going to pander to #39;Gazprom#39; in his quest for more tax breaks for new fields.

`They are asking for more and more, it#39;s true. While we see no reason #39;, - commented the deputy minister.

He however did not rule out at this, that the Finance Ministry will support the benefits of new fields in Eastern Siberia. For example, the list of stranded with a high degree of probability will be included Tyumen Oil Formation. However, even this field will not be exempt from tax completely - although Energy Minister Alexander Novak in October suggested that policy for at least the next 15 years.

`Yes, we support the Tyumen too, but there is another factor, another bid. This is not a zero will appear `- Shatalov said.

A number of companies, including such major players in the market of natural resources such as Gazprom `` and `` Rosneft, regularly try to obtain from the government to reduce tax rates on the development of new oil and gas fields. Rosneft `` it would be particularly by the way, since this year the company signed an agreement with ExxonMobil to jointly develop technologies for production of stranded oil in Western Siberia.

REGARDING CHINA'S SUCCESS IN MINERAL EXPLORATION

Regarding China#39;s success in mineral exploration

Since 2012, China has made new progress in the exploration of mineral resources, said yesterday in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin Minister of Land and Resources of China Xu Shaoshi at the opening of the China International Mining Conference 2012.

Xu Shaoshi said that in the last months of the year in the country observed a number of large oil fields with reserves of 100 million tons and above, and major gas fields with reserves of more than 100 billion cubic meters of gas, an important technological breakthrough achieved in the development of shale gas and deepwater oil and gas exploration resources in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Qinghai, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou, as well as in other regions of the country formed a number of new bases for the extraction of coal, uranium, copper, aluminum, nickel, tungsten, iron, bauxite and other minerals.

Xu Shaoshi said China is paying close attention to mineral exploration and intends to make further efforts to overcome the effects of inadequate supply of minerals to the socio-economic development of the country. According to him, it is necessary to strengthen the exploration for economic use of mineral resources, enhance communication and cooperation between China and other countries in the field of mining.

Xu Shaoshi said that in a period of slow revival of the global economy world Miners should strengthen solidarity and joint efforts to counteract the difficulties and challenges and to ensure the sustainable development of the international mining industry.

COMPUTER MEMORY OF PLASTIC TO KEEP THESE AND WITHOUT POWER

COMPUTER MEMORY OF PLASTIC TO KEEP THESE AND WITHOUT POWER

Researchers at Ohio State University and their colleagues have expanded the possibilities for a new kind of electronics, known as spintronics.

Although spintronics as technology has not yet fully developed, it can lead to computers that store more data in a smaller amount of memory to process data faster, and consume less energy. ? It might even lead to an instantly downloadable computer |, said Arthur J. Epstein, a professor of physics and chemistry and director of the Center for Materials Research at Ohio State University.

Spintronics uses magnetic fields to control the spin of electrons. In the current issue of the journal Advanced Materials, Epstein and his colleagues describe how through the use of a magnetic field, they carry almost all the movements of electrons in a plastic material as it rotates. This effect is called polarization rotation.

The achievement of polarization rotation - the first step in the transformation of plastic in a device that could read and write data in a working computer by replacing the hard drive.

?Theoretically, inexpensive inkjet technology could eventually be used to quickly print full sheets of plastic semiconductors for spintronics. |

The uniqueness of the work of researchers is that they have reached the polarization rotation in the polymer, which has a number of advantages over silicon and gallium arsenide - the traditional materials used in electronics.

Epstein#39;s research partners on the program were: Joel S. Miller, professor of chemistry at the University of Utah, in collaboration with Ohio State University, Vladimir N. Prigodin, Nandyaloy P. Rayu and Constantine I. Pohodiniya.

Since the mid-1980s, Epstein and Miller developed a plastic electronics, and in the end of the study - a plastic magnet that conducts electricity. Epstein described this latest project as the next step on their way to spintronics.

?Electronics and magnetism transformed modern society |, Epstein said. ? The appearance of plastic electronics opens up many opportunities for new technologies, such as flexible displays and low-cost solar cells. |

?In this latest study, we have shown that we can do all of the components that go into spintronics, of plastics |, says Epstein.

Current efforts to develop spintronics with traditional inorganic semiconductors have been stymied by the fact that most of these materials are not magnetic, except at very low temperatures. Create a cryogenic cold environment in the hot interior of the computer where the operating temperature of the surface of parts are heated to +50 | C, would be very expensive. In addition, the increased size of equipment would be through the installation of cooling and the small computer would again become the size of a room, as it was in the 70s.

That is why the researchers chose a plastic-based tetrasianoetanida vanadium. This material shows magnetic properties at high temperatures, even above the boiling point of water (+100 | C), so that it can be operated easily on a computer without special cooling equipment.

Normal computer electronics encodes data based on a binary system? Zeros | and? Units |, depending on whether there is or there is no electron in a certain place of the material.

But in principle, the direction of rotation of the electron can also be used as an information label. So spintronics effectively would enable to carry twice as much information per electron and is based on a system of three parameters v? Null |,? Unit | and? Rotation |.

Another advantage of this technology lies in the fact that once a magnetic field pushes the electron in a certain direction of rotation, it will continue to rotate with it, while the other magnetic field does not cause it to change direction of rotation. This effect can be used to create a very fast memory that will retain information even when the computer is turned off for some reason. These data may be stored and accessed at any time potentially indefinitely.

Plastic spintronics weighs less than traditional electronics and would cost less if it will produce. Today inorganic semiconductors are multiple methods step by step in a vacuum. Low-cost inkjet technology would ensure the rapid production of plastic semiconductors.

The project provides for the execution of works to regulate the channel that include dredging for 14.8 km. During this process one-and two-sided cleaning of the channel to a depth of 2.9 m in the city Ternovka Bogdanov and the village council. The total area of development - 48.8 hectares.

PREVENTED AN ATTEMPT ILLEGAL COAL MINING IN PROKOPEVSKO

Prevented an attempt illegal coal mining in Prokopevsko

However, the plans of criminal subsoil prevented by police who have current information on upcoming illegal coal mining.

Police detained the `black diggers#39; in the midst of the work. Attackers of the night were stripping - removes a layer of soil to get to the coal seam and start the production of fuel. Lights heavy machinery operatives indicated the exact location of illegal mining of coal. At the failed coal mine were found 5 trucks BelAZ brand, 2 excavator and bulldozer.

Judging by the scope of this paper, #39;black diggers#39; intention to get here more than a thousand tons of coal. However deploy illegal activities on a large scale `black` diggers do not have time - ordinary workers have been detained illegally cut. 8 people have finished their shift ahead of time and had to give explanations to the police.

At present, this fact is under administrative investigation. Police officers shall identify the organizer of illegal coal mining activities.

KHAKASSIA EXPERTISE TO HOLD THE PROJECT ARSHANOVSKOGO COAL CUTS

KHAKASSIA EXPERTISE TO HOLD THE PROJECT ARSHANOVSKOGO coal cuts

According to the President of the Republic, the number of participants in the group should include not only government officials but also by independent experts, coal miners, the public concerned and, of course, the people Arshanovo.

`Everyone should be heard all the questions need to be answered. Let it be even 200-300 people, but the group should include all `.

Engaged in preparation of the expert group, as well as all the necessary documents and information entrusted to the Ministry of Regional Development. The first session must elapse before November 21, Viktor Zimin. As part of this group will be developed agreement that lists all the needs, requirements experts and residents Arshanovo. In the case of project start, they must be considered and implemented by the investor.

Pay attention to this issue was also invited representatives of the Supreme Council of the Republic, the Council of Elders of the people Khakassian, United Russia.

In addition, the head of Khakassia for next Thursday to schedule a meeting with villagers Arshanovo:

`I want to hear what people think. If it is totally against that of any early work can not be considered. I will put my signature only when the conclusion will give expert advice and consent of the people. Near the start of the topic of intrigue.

Enough. Lots of attention, publicity and competence. Practice at which such matters are discussed behind the scenes - inherently flawed.

The practice of a political schemers staff their scores, behind the scenes, on the sly, inciting the population simply unacceptable. Everyone must play open. The investor must tell the public the truth, has to pay a royalty fair price, people have to defend their interests.

And we#39;ll be there. The population needs to be protected not only from hazardous industries, but also from the `` wishers who are not interested in anything but his own public relations#39;.

`I was the first opponent of this section, - said the head of Khakassia. - At the same time, we can not afford to talk so constantly. This does not allow us to make a single step in the development of the territory `.

Viktor Zimin also expressed the need to create a profile ministry - the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, which would be responsible for this area. Viktor Zimin commission on this issue have already worked out. The head of the republic said that the ministry will be created by increasing the state, but due to the merger of several departments.
