TIG 10 years of success

2010

Beringovsky Coal Basin sparked in 2005 again: its capacity is 632 million tons of coal; its distance from the port is 37 km. Gennady Fandyushkin, the geologist, tried to find investors for Amaam: Russians, Chinese and Australians visited Chukotka …

In 2010 Australian-based Tigers Realm Coal Ltd (TIG) came to the region with an ambitious objective to become a significant supplier of high-quality coking coal to the seaborne market. Peter Balka, CEO TIG, and the mining engineer by education flew to Chukotka – he had faith in this project:

«We have strong support from our shareholders, they see that Tigers has one of the best coal-mining projects in the world. Moreover, besides the shareholders, there are other interested companies, who are ready to support us in this difficult time of low commodity prices ... However, the main «reserve of buoyancy» is provided by the exceptionally good asset that we have. After all, there is no such other project in the world where coking coal can be mined on the seashore near the port!»
