three Ural deposits<\/a>: Maminskoye, Pavlovskoye, and Pershinskoye. The facility will employ the modern Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) process, in which activated carbon is used to recover gold directly from the ore slurry. <\/p>\n\nEnvironmental performance has been a key consideration in the project design. The plant will operate with a closed-loop water recycling system, while processing residues will be stored as semi-dry tailings. Compared with conventional wet tailings storage facilities, this approach significantly reduces environmental impact. <\/p>\n\n
At the same time, Saldinskaya Gold Mining Company, a subsidiary of Polymetal, has officially received Regional Investment Project status. This designation provides access to substantial tax benefits and strengthens the project’s long-term economic viability. <\/p>\n\n
Polymetal and the Government of Sverdlovsk Region have already signed a cooperation agreement. Under its terms, the company will invest more than RUB 6 billion in regional investment, social, and infrastructure projects through 2033. The initiative extends beyond the processing plant itself to include roads, utilities, and support for local communities. <\/p>\n\n
The new facility near Nizhnyaya Salda represents more than just a mining project\u2014it is a comprehensive partnership between business and regional authorities. The investor receives tax incentives and access to a secure ore base, while the region gains new jobs, upgraded infrastructure, and billions of rubles in long-term social investment. <\/p>\n\n
