Miners of the Lovozero Mining and Processing Plant lifted the first tons of ore from the central part of the Alluaivskoye loparite mine.
The deposit, located in the Lovozero District of the Murmansk Region, has been mined since 1939. Mining is carried out at the Karnasurt mine. The central part of the Alluaivskoye mine, according to GOK geologists, represents a rich malignite layer. Previously, it was not utilized due to difficult mining and geological conditions.
More than one kilometer of underground mine workings were penetrated to mine the central part of the Alluaivskoye deposit. Mining of three new cleaning blocks has already started. In total, the miners will work in 14 treatment blocks. This will guarantee the maintenance of the current productivity of the plant and stable supply of raw materials to JSC Solikamsk Magnesium Plant, the only producer of rare-earth metals in Russia.
