The Amur artel has decreased its output plan because of the thinning of deposits.
This year the new platinum output target is 1400 kg, down from 1526 kg in 2016.
The constant decrease in Konder deposits output has been observed for several years. In 2014 the artel yielded 3794 kg of platinum, in 2015 – 2836 kg. The decrease results from the thinning of the largest platinum deposits in Russia.
The forecast reserves of the Konder deposits are 120 tons of platinum ore. (Ukrainian metal)
