Zavyalov is an open pit mine with over 100M metric tons of forecasted extractable quantity of high-grade hard coking coal.

The grades of coal are K, KO, KC, GZh, which are fit for processing into metallurgical coking coal and which trades at a high premium to "regular" coal such as thermal coal.

Zavyalov is 5km from the West Siberian Rail Road and in close proximity of the Kemerovo Region of Russia, also known as the Kuzbass Region, which accounts for 80% of Russia's total coal production. Coal exports from the Kuzbass Region are the 5th largest in the world. The mining area is fully explored and well surveyed for coal deposits.

TurkPower's Chairman and CEO Ryan E. Hart commented: "This is a great day and milestone for the Company and its investors. With the purchase of Zavyalov, TurkPower takes its first step towards becoming a producing and profitable mining company. The Company's mining consultants expect the Zavyalov mine to produce up to 1M metric tons of high-grade coking coal in 2013, and between 2 – 2.5M metric tons in 2014 and after."
