Lebedinsky GOK DRI Plant (Лебединский горно-обогатительный комбинат, Лебединский ГОК, ЛГОК), also known as LGOK HBI, is a steel plant in Gubkin, Belgorod, Russia that operates direct reduced iron (DRI) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Gubkin, Belgorod, Russia:
- Location: Promzona, Gubkin-11, Gubkin, Belgorod Oblast, Russia, 309191
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 51.261995, 37.654622 (exact)
Background
Lebedinsky GOK DRI Plant is the largest plant in Russia and the CIS in iron ore mining and materials. It is also the only producer of HBI in Russia and the CIS.[1] The first DRI unit started operating in 1999, reaching designed capacity in 2001.[1][2]
In September 2024, Metalloinvest JSC, the plant's owner, announced plans to boost its HBI production from the current 4 million tons to 20 million tons per year as part of a project in collaboration with China. The company revealed these plans during the intergovernmental commission meeting.[3]
Environmental and safety violations
On August 6, 2021, the excavator driver died due to the explosion in the quarry of Lebedinsky GOK. The cause has been established as negligence of the chief engineer of the drilling and blasting department, who violated industrial safety requirements, was responsible for carrying out a mass explosion and did not organize the safe conduct of blasting operations, did not ensure the destruction of the remains of explosives.[4]
On July 15, 2024, a collision of two railway traction units caused the death of one employee and left another with injuries.[5]
In 2024, 13 employees were fined 100,000 roubles for labor safety violations.[6]
