Industrial production is the foundation of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands' economy

Sakhalin Oblast ranks among Russia's top 5 most investment-attractive regions and became the Far East leader last year
Sakhalin Island has its own deposits of limestone and clay with unique characteristics for cement production. These are high-quality materials in demand at construction sites. Licenses have already been obtained for extracting cement production raw materials: limestone, clay
Homes, roads, ports, and bridges require high-quality construction materials. According to expert estimates, the region's demand by 2030 will exceed:
1.7 million m³ of concrete, 1 million tons of cement
Opoka (siliceous rock). The new cement plant addresses growing demand and moves the region toward import independence. For businesses, this represents a unique opportunity to invest in a strategically important and promising sector

Eco-friendly production, complete wood processing cycle, new jobs, stable income - all contributing to the region's sustainable development
  • Planed softwood lumber - used for load-bearing structures, wall/floor sheathing, fence/terrace/deck construction, as well as interior finishing (walls, ceilings, floors), furniture production and other interior elements

  • CLT panels - cross-laminated timber panels consisting of perpendicularly stacked glued wood layers. Widely used in construction for walls, floors and roofs

  • HTMM (High-Tech Mechanical Pulp) - primary fiber used for office/wallpaper paper, cardboard, asphalt mixtures, laminate, as well as sound and thermal insulation materials

  • OSB boards - used as finishing/structural material, furniture production and packaging
Sakhalin's vast forest areas represent a resource that can be transformed into high-quality products with minimal logistics costs
The timber processing complex is an investment project for wood resource processing and production of the following construction materials:

Vakhrushevsky-Central:
Proven reserves: 49 million tons
Strategically convenient location
Potential for significant infrastructure expansion

Vakhrushevsky Southern:
14.6 million tons of minerals
Compact site with high-quality reserves
Suitable for gradual development within overall deposit strategy
Underground mining sites:
Open-pit mining sites:
Combined proven reserves of Northern Pit and Lermontovsky Pit-2: 18.7 million tons

The pits are ideal for surface mining. This method:
Reduces operational costs
Enables investment recovery at early stages
Potential for reserve volume increase through further exploration
Total confirmed reserves (categories A+B+C1) represent significant resource potential for long-term development. Combined with the possibility of both underground and open-pit mining, this creates conditions for rapid startup and sustainable profit growth
The deposit is located on the eastern coast of central Sakhalin Island, in close proximity to Terpeniya Bay

Distance to coastline: 8 km. This location is ideal for organizing logistics and resource transportation
Development of Vakhrushevskoye Brown Coal Deposit
18.7 million tons
proven reserves for open-pit mining
63.6 million tons
proven reserves for underground mining
