Talitsky GOK
The Talitsky mining and processing complex (GOK) in the Berezniki urban district of Perm Territory is the largest strategic investment project of the Acron Group, implemented by its subsidiary JSC VKK (Verkhnekamsk Potash Company). The large industrial facility is being built to develop the Talitsky section of the Verkhnekamsk potassium-magnesium salt deposit and create an independent vertically integrated raw-material base. The GOK infrastructure includes a modern high-tech mine with two 8-metre-diameter shafts, where artificial freezing of complex water-bearing rock was successfully used during sinking, as well as a processing plant and its own logistics hub. Total investment in this potash giant is estimated at USD 2.7 billion. Design capacity will be 2 million tonnes of potassium chloride per year, with annual ore output of up to 7.5 million tonnes. Construction of the main surface complex and mine life-support facilities has been completed, and commissioning is well underway.
