Mikhail Kotyukov, Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, discussed the implementation of investment projects for the development of gold mining at the Eldoradinsky ore node deposits in the North Yenisei region with Konstantin Strukov, General Director of UK YUGK LLC. The meeting took place within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
It should be noted that the reserves of the Eldoradinsky ore node amount to 165 tons. At the moment, the company is engaged in the construction of a gold mining factory here. It is assumed that the first stage will be launched before 2026, and in 2028 the facility will reach full production capacity. The implementation of the project will create 1,500 jobs.
Along with this, commissioning works are already underway at the Vysokoye field at another new gold recovery plant. By the end of 2024, the facility will be brought to its design production capacity.
During the conversation, the head of the region noted that the already built Vysokogorsky Bridge and the Yeniseisk-Vysokogorsky road, which is currently being reconstructed, will open up new prospects for the development of the Angara-Yenisei macro-district, including for the development of gold mining.
Mikhail Kotyukov, Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: "More than 20% of Russian gold is mined in our region, and the village of Severo-Yeniseisky is informally called the gold mining capital of the country. The region remains the leader of gold mining in Russia, as well as one of the most investment-attractive regions. According to the results of last year, the total volume of investments in our country amounted to 926.4 billion rubles. This is 9.6% more than it was in 2022. We create the most comfortable conditions for companies. They include various support tools and preferential treatment, as well as investments in infrastructure."
