Highland Gold (Highland Gold Mining Limited, HGML) is one of the leading gold miners in Russia and Central Asia. Mining operations are concentrated around four regional hubs — Khabarovsk, Transbaikalia, Kamchatka and Chukotka.

History

In 2003 Barrick Gold Corp, the world's largest gold producer, began to invest in HGML, gradually increasing its share to 34 %.[3] Later, Barrick Gold sold its stake, explaining that it was «non-core to Barrick's business operations and strategy».[4][5]

In 2007 more than 40 % of HGML were acquired by Millhouse LLC investment company owned by Roman Abramovich.[6] In July 2020 the purchase of 40,06 % of HGML shares from Abramovich and his business associates was announced by an entity controlled by Vladislav Sviblov.[7][8] By the end of 2020 Sviblov had bought out 100 % of HGML.[9]

In 2021 Highland Gold acquired the largest gold producer in Kamchatka — «Gold of Kamchatka»[10] along with Trans-Siberian Gold. By the end of 2021 the company completed the acquisition of the Kamchatka and Transbaikalia assets.
