The letter of interest was referred to by the chairman of the Board of Directors of the Russian Copper Company and the 66th richest Rus Igor Altuskin.

Russian Copper Company participated in the first tender for the privatization of RTB Bor in 2016, together with Amalco Group. Then they got acquainted with the work of this company, since when they closely followed events in RTB Bor, especially the Government`s restructuring program.
