Mechel announces acquisition of Port Kambarka OAO

Izhevsk, Russia – April 27, 2005 – Mechel OAO (NYSE:MTL) announces the acquisition of a 90.36% stake in Kambarka Port OAO.

The stake was acquired for approximately $3.4 million. The acquisition was made to further diversify the cargo flow of our coal and steel products and to improve our logistics.

Since 2004, Port Kambarka OAO has been in bankruptcy proceedings. A bankruptcy settlement agreement is expected to be signed during the first half of 2005.

Port Kambarka is located in Kama, a town in the Republic of Udmurtia, and is one of Russia’s largest river ports. The facility specializes in the transshipment of bulk cargo, including ore, iron ore concentrate and coal. Due to its significant depth and favorable location near the Gorkov railway, the port is capable of processing “river-sea” class cargo ships, routing both within Russia and European countries, particularly Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Great Britain through the Baltic and North seas. In 2004, freight turnover was 207,000 tonnes.
