Polyus PJSC
Investor Relations

In the vast landscape of the Russian mining industry, Polyus PJSC stands as a glittering titan. Emerging as one of the world's largest gold producers, it found its roots deep in the mineral-rich territories of Siberia and the Russian Far East. Through relentless pursuit of ore, Polyus has carved its legacy, operating several major mines like Olimpiada, which is celebrated for its prodigious gold reserves. The company’s mining process involves extracting gold-bearing ore, which is then processed to separate the precious metal. This intricate journey of transformation, from raw rock to refined bars, underpins the company’s robust revenue stream.

Polyus has skillfully harnessed its strategic geographic locations and cutting-edge technology to maximize efficiency and output. Beyond just extraction, the company leverages state-of-the-art refining techniques to ensure high recovery rates. Moreover, Polyus invests keenly in exploration—the vital lifeline for any mining entity, ensuring a steady replacement of exploited reserves. It navigates global market dynamics by capitalizing on a largely favorable production cost structure and maintaining rigorous environmental and safety standards, ensuring sustainable operations in a sector often scrutinized for its impact. With its substantial contribution to Russia's gold production landscape, Polyus doesn't just mine gold; it crafts vital economic narratives for a nation and the global market.

EBITDA Increase: Quarterly EBITDA reached approximately $1 billion, a 10% rise quarter-on-quarter.

Cost Inflation: Total cash costs rose 9% to $427 per ounce due to seasonal factors and inflation in consumables and spare parts, but performance at Natalka was a positive outlier.
