    Evraz Unveils Name Change at Its North American Operations
    June 13, 2008 - Evraz Group S.A. (LSE: EVR) ("Evraz") today announced its North American subsidiary will now operate under the name,
Evraz Inc. NA.
    Effective immediately, the new name impacts the North American headquarters in Portland Oregon and all eight production facilities,
including; the steel production facilities in Pueblo Colorado, Regina Saskatchewan and Claymont Delaware; the seamless pipe, rod and rail
mills in Colorado, the plate mills in Claymont, Regina and Portland, Oregon; the coil processing facility in Surrey, British Columbia; the
structural tubing facility in Portland; the pipe mills in Portland and Regina; as well as the Alberta pipe mills in Red Deer, Calgary and
Camrose.
    "The addition of the former IPSCO Canadian facilities into the Evraz group enhances our presence in North America to approximately 5
million tons of rolled steel product and the time has come to operate under the Evraz brand name" said Alexander Frolov, Chairman of the
Board, President and CEO of Evraz Group S.A. "As one unified company, focused on value-added steel and tubular products, we believe the best
way to do business is with a consistent brand in the market place." 
    Jim Declusin, President and CEO of Evraz Inc. NA added, "For more than 50 years, the world has known us as IPSCO and Oregon Steel and
our subsidiaries as Rocky Mountain Steel Mills, Claymont Steel, Columbia Structural Tubing, and OSM Tubular. While it takes time getting
used to a new name, we feel strongly that our customers, employees, suppliers and the communities in which we operate will soon discover
it's business as usual under the Evraz umbrella. Under our new name, we will continue to produce the same great products and deliver with
the same quality service that our customers know they can expect."
