The Polyarnaya artel plans to obtain 250-270 kg of alluvial gold in Chukotka this season.
“We haven’t started operations yet, as the snow covers the sites, and there is no water. Sand washing will start in June. We expect the growth of output at the level of 30-50 kg”, the company chief geologist Ananiy Solomchuk said.
Last year the artel yielded 220 kg of gold. (Ukrainian metal)
