Anatoly Kubyshkin (Class 6 Miner, Kupol)
When two young employees, both new to the mining industry and working underground, joined Kupol last year, Anatoly made it a personal priority to explain Kinross’ health and safety requirements, and rules and procedures to them.

Anatoly mentored them daily, showed them how to operate equipment, helped settle routine camp accommodation issues and provided pre-shift guidance. He continues to help them on shift and stays in touch with them during afterhours and on days off.

Anatoly is considered a role model and his colleagues are grateful for his contribution to their career development.
“Anatoly is a good-natured, family-man who is committed to his work and his colleagues. He is always willing to help and continually encourages young employees.”
