In the current washing season Amur artel has already yielded 605 kg of alluvial platinum.
The artel opened the season on May 6 and in the first month of operation has washed 170 kg of the precious metals. The results for June were 299 kg.
Amur washes for platinum at the Konder deposits in Khabarovsk region. As the reserves are thinning, the output is dropping year after year. In 2014 the artel obtained 3794 kg of platinum, in 2015 – 2836 kg, in 2016 – 1526 kg.
This year the company intends to wash 1400-1500 kg.
The Konder deposits are the largest platinum deposits in Russia and one of the largest in the world. (Ukrainian metal)
