Construction of GOK and development of Udokan copper deposit
Region: Trans-Baikal Territory
Operator: Udokan Copper
Stage: construction. Start-up of the first stage – 2023
Investments: $6.9 bn
Udokan is the largest undeveloped copper deposit in Russia and one of the largest in the world. The capacity of the first stage of MMC at Udokan will be up to 15 mil tons of ore with an output of up to 135 thousand tons of copper per year. Taking into account the second stage, the output of processing will increase to 40 mil tons of ore per year. The cost of the first stage of development of Udokan was estimated at $2.9 bn, the second stage – at $4 bn. The launch of the first stage of production is scheduled for 2023.
Sulphur programme at Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant and Copper Plants
Region: Krasnoyarsk Territory
Operator: Norilsk Nickel
Dates: development – 2020–2025.
Investments: $4.1 — $4.3 bn
A large-scale environmental project involving the utilisation of sulphur dioxide at the Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant and Copper Plants, which are part of the Polar branch of the company with a drastic reduction in emissions of pollutants. Within the framework of the programme, the launch of sulphur projects to capture emissions at the Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant and Copper Plants is being developed. The development of the sulphur programme will help the Polar Branch (Norilsk) significantly reduce SO2 emissions.
