As a result of the project, the third largest non-ferrous metallurgy center in Russia (after the Urals and Norilsk) will be created with the prospect of creating highly efficient production. The project will create a new point of economic growth for the mining and metallurgical industry based on unique platinum-copper-nickel and copper-molybdenum deposits in the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Republic of Tyva. Combining a group of fields into a single territorial production complex located at the junction of two federal subjects will reduce overall development costs, use common existing infrastructure facilities and plan joint mutually beneficial development of new ones.
Upon reaching the design capacity, the volume of ore extraction and processing will amount to 20 million tons per year and will provide an average annual production volume of more than 600 thousand tons of copper-nickel (collective) concentrate.
The creation of new large industrial enterprises will ensure a reduction in the outflow of the population of the Sayansky and Kuraginsky districts, and will provide over 2,000 new jobs for personnel working directly at the Ak-Sugsky and Kingashsky GOKs.
