“Completing a project of this scale on time despite the challenges presented by the pandemic is a testament to their skill and hard work. Increasing Taborny’s production capacity and investing in further technology is vital to maintain a stable production output,” Nordgold CEO Nikolai Zelenski said in a press release.
To ensure processing capacity can meet the corresponding increase in mining activity, this year Taborny has bought two additional hauling trucks, an excavator, a grader, two Epiroc drilling rigs and a number of auxiliary vehicles, including buses, fuel trucks, mobile repair units, a crane truck and a front loader.
Taborny is an open pit mine located in the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic in Russia’s Far East. The mine was opened in 2002 and acquired by Nordgold in 2007.
Last year it produced more than 76,000 ounces of gold.
