Gold recovery plant for ores of the Ozernovsky ore field
The gold recovery plant of the Ozernovsky mining and metallurgical complex (JSC SiGMA) in the Karaginsky District of Kamchatka Territory is one of the most promising and technologically advanced industrial projects for mineral development in the North Kamchatka ore district. The production complex, deployed in challenging logistics and a harsh subarctic climate, is aimed at deep processing of ore from the Ozernovsky ore field, with a resource potential of more than 120 tonnes of gold. The first process train of the plant was successfully commissioned in October 2021, providing annual output of about 1 tonne of precious metal. The current development stage includes launch of a powerful second train (ZIF-2) with capacity of 600,000 tonnes of ore per year, which will bring the complex’s total capacity to 780,000 tonnes of ore and increase production to 3.5 tonnes of gold annually. The project is being implemented as a resident of the Kamchatka Advanced Special Economic Zone, with total investment of about RUB 15 billion.
