The winners of this year’s RNG-funded educational awards have now been announced, with 100 teachers from across the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) selected for special recognition. Now in its fifth year, the awards have become a well-established part of the region’s education calendar. RNG launched the initiative and continues to fund it as general sponsor, supporting teachers whose work is helping shape the future of education in Yakutia.

One of Yakutia’s biggest chess events of the year returned with the support of RNG, as the fourth Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Chess Cup brought together players from across the country. This year’s tournament carried special weight, marking the centenary of organised chess in the region.

Over the course of the event, four competitions played out side by side: a stage of the Russian Chess Cup for men, blitz and rapid tournaments, and a contest in solving chess compositions.

The Company has supported Hunter’s Day celebrations in the village of Arylakh in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), awarding special prizes to the winners of the traditional national sports competitions.

This year’s festivities unfolded on the frozen Malaya Botuobiya River, where hunting teams from Tas-Yuryakh, Syuldyukar and Arylakh competed in one of Yakutia’s best-known seasonal events. Six teams took to the ice for contests that have become a longstanding part of the occasion.

Dear colleagues, partners, and friends!

Today, we’d like to celebrate your professional holiday!

Happy Geologist Day! We wish you health and happiness! May you make great discoveries in your endeavours!

RNG has sponsored a programme of events in Moscow marking the 60^th anniversary of Geologist Day. Held on 31 March and 1 April, the anniversary programme brought together senior figures from across the geology and mineral resources sector, along with representatives of government and business from across Russia.

The milestone was marked by a major two-day industry forum backed by the Federal Agency for Subsoil Use. The programme featured an extended session of the Rosnedra Board and the 9^th Russian National Congress of Geologists.

RNG has provided specialist equipment to help clear access to the water intake point in the settlement of Svetly in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The settlement’s head requested the Company’s support after poor road conditions prevented water tankers from reaching the site. RNG responded quickly, deploying tracked machinery to clear the route and restore access.

The Company continues to work closely with communities across Mirninsky District under its cooperation agreement.

The Company has provided materials and equipment to help prepare a site for the construction of a modular police station and a rural health centre in the village of Tas-Yuryakh, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

RNG’s engineering teams carried out the groundwork, delivering around 300 cubic metres of dolerite—approximately 15 truckloads—and completing site levelling ahead of construction.

Work on the new facilities is due to begin in March, with both public service projects expected to be completed in the near future.

RNG has stepped in to support the town of Mirny in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), providing materials to help keep roads and pavements safe during the late winter and early spring.

The Company supplied 300 cubic metres of crushed stone screenings—close to 15 truckloads of material—to assist local road maintenance teams in treating icy streets and walkways.

Dear women!

Happy International Women’s Day!

You make the world a better place with your beauty and energy, softness and harmony.

We wish you great health, kindness, and prosperity. Enjoy this beautiful spring day! May every moment of your life be filled with love, warmth, and joy!
