Correction

This Report on Form 6-K is expressly intended for incorporation by reference into Mechel OAO’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-166309) (the “Registration Statement”) for the sole purpose of correcting a clerical error on page S-20 of the preliminary prospectus supplement (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) dated April 26, 2010 included in the Registration Statement.

Page S-20 of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement incorrectly states that the Selling Shareholders identified in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement will agree to certain lock-up restrictions during the period ending 180 days following the pricing of the offering to which the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement relates. In fact, the Selling Shareholders will agree to certain lock-up restrictions during the period ending 90 days following the pricing of the offering to which the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement relates.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
