(nedradv.ru) – Polyus Krasnoyarsk received a positive opinion from the Glavgosexpertiza (Russian body responsible for the state examination of design documentation for large and complex facilities) on the project for the reconstruction of the Blagodatny open pit in the Severo-Yeniseisky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
The Blagodatnoye gold deposit is represented by two ore bodies, each of which was developed by separate sections No. 1 "Severny" and No. 2 "Southern", united into a single open pit in 2020.
Currently, the capacity at Blagodatnoye refinery is 9 million tons of ore per year. After the reconstruction, it is planned to increase the production capacity of the open pit to 12.99 million tons of ore per year.
“Placement of overburden waste rock is provided for in the projected Yuzhny and Blagodatny dumps. The main means of protecting mine workings from groundwater and surface water for quarry sites is provided by a quarry drainage system, equipped with powerful modern pumping stations and a transfer pumping station” notes Nikolay Sigaev, chief expert of the Glavgosexpertiza of Russia.
Recall that earlier the company reported on a project in the Blagodatnoye mine for the construction of a new mill, the launch of which is scheduled for 2025.
