Timan Bauxite

Boksit Timana started operations in 1992. Its main business is the development of deposits by the Sredne-Timansky bauxite mine.

Boksit Timana's facilities are located in the northern part of the Knyazhpogost District of the Komi Republic, near the border with the Ust-Tsilma and Udora Districts, 170 kilometres from Chinyavoryk Station. The company's railroad shop is located in the village of Chinyavoryk. It transports bauxite from the mine to Chinyavoryk-Promyshlenny Station. There, the cars with bauxite are transferred to JSC Russian Railways for transportation to refineries and other consumers. The Ural and Bogoslovsky alumina refineries are the main consumers of the ore mined here.

The Sredne-Timansky Bauxite Mine (STBR) develops the Vezhayu-Vorykvinskoye and Verkhne-Shchugorskoye bauxite deposits.

Currently, commercial bauxite mining is taking place at three open-pit mines: Quarries 4 and 1 at the Vezhyu-Vorykvinskoye deposit and Quarry 2 in the Southern banks of the Verkhne-Shchugorskoe deposit. Advanced stripping works are underway at Quarry 2 in the Northern banks of the Verkhne-Shchugorskoe deposit. A total of seven new quarries are planned to be developed up until 2057.

The company is developing dynamically. By September 2024, more than 70 million metric tonnes of ore had been extracted since development of the Sredne-Timanskaya deposit group began.

The STBR fleet consists of more than 200 units, including 100-tonne dump trucks, excavators, bulldozers of various modifications and other heavy mining equipment. All this allows the company to operate without interruption and extract raw materials for the production of aluminium.
