Gunvor Group and Volga Resources will join in the development of the Kolmar coal project after funding the purchase of 51 percent with a loan convertible into equity.
The companies granted the loan to Anatoly Mitroshin, owner of the remaining 49 percent, and are able to convert it into shares in six to eight months, Gunvor spokesman Anton Kurevin said Wednesday. The 51 percent was bought from Mikhail Prokhorov's InterGeo mining company. The companies didn't disclose the value of the loan.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
