Petropavlovsk Plc, formerly Peter Hambro Mining plc, is a London-based gold mining company with operations in Russia. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
The Group was founded by Peter Hambro and Pavel Maslovskiy in 1994 as an Anglo-Russian venture to develop a highly-prospective, under-developed gold project in the Amur region, Russian far east. Since then, Petropavlovsk has grown from strength-to-strength and is now a major, multi-mine, Russian gold producer
Almost all the Group's employees are Russian nationals, including Executive Directors and senior management. Many are local to the Amur region, in line with the Group's commitment to employ local people
