At the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladikavkaz the autoclaves Nos. 3 and 4 of Pokrovsky Autoclave-Hydrometallurgical Plant have been put into operation.
The plant has been operating in trial mode since December 2018. Since then more than 2 tons of gold have been produced of refractory ores of the Malomyr deposit. In July processing of gold-containing concentrates of other manufacturers began.
Priamurye holds the sixth place in Russia in gold mining.
During its first day of operation the new autoclave complex will process 1370 tons of refractory ores concentrate, twice as much as the hydrometallurgical autoclave in Amursk.
Petropavlovsk investments in the project amounted to $500 million. (Ukrainian metal)
