Siberian Anthracite, a Russian coal miner backed by GLG Partners, is studying an initial public offering in London as it seeks funds to triple output and boost exports to Asia, according to largest shareholder Alltech Group.
"The decision on an IPO may be taken once capital markets recover," said Dmitry Bosov, president of Alltech. The mining company plans to increase output of anthracite coal to 9.5 million tons in 2016 from 3.4 million tons last year, Bosov said.
Siberian Anthracite is considering developing new mines and a seaport terminal in the Far East as demand for the steelmaking material grows in Asia. The coal producer had $400 million in sales last year and $169 million in EBITDA.

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.
