Alrosa developing new open-pit diamond mine
Russian diamond mining company Alrosa has initiated development of a new openpit mining operation on the Zarya pipe at its Aikhal Mining and Processing Division in north-central Russia. The mine is scheduled to reach design capacity of 1 million metric tons per year (mt/y) of ore by 2021. Mine life is projected at 13 years. The construction of an open-pit mine on the Zarya deposit is a very important investment project, Alrosa First Vice President-Executive Director Igor Sobolev said. The start of mining operations at the Zarya pipe will allow them to replace dwindling reserves at the Komsomolsky open-pit mine. The Yubileyny open pit accounted for the major portion of the Aikhal Division's production in 2015, with production of about 9.4 million carats.
