The company functions through four main segments: Mines in Production, encompassing operational iron ore projects such as the Kimkan-Sutara (K&S) project in the Jewish Autonomous Region; Mines in Development, covering exploration and development initiatives including the Garinskoye, Kostenginskoye, and Bolshoi Seym projects focused on iron ore, ilmenomagnetite, magnetite, and ilmenite deposits in the Amur region; Engineering, delivering in-house engineering, scientific expertise, general trading, transportation, and related services; and Other, involving vanadium pentoxide production and ancillary projects. Incorporated in 2010 and headquartered at 6H, 9 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong, IRC targets steelmakers and industrial users primarily in Russia, China, and international markets, employing approximately 1,620 people across its operations.
