Everest Alliance, which owns 7.5% of Petropavlovsk, has nominated two new candidates for the Board of Directors of the gold mining company - Ivan Kulakov and Paul Adrian Bushell. Everest does not cite the candidates' biographies, but the name of Ivan Kulakov in the gold mining industry is known as an ex-partner of Roman Abramovich in Highland Gold. An extraordinary meeting of shareholders, which will elect a new board of directors, should be convened within three months after the annual meeting.
