As of the end of winter 2025, the Brucite+ group of companies continues to implement a comprehensive program aimed at expanding its mineral resource base in accordance with the approved development strategy.
Kuldur Deposit
In December 2024, updated brucite reserves for the Kuldur deposit were officially approved:
-
The Main Ore Body reserves were confirmed at 6,291.9 thousand tons, reflecting an increase of 2,670.9 thousand tons compared to previous resource estimates.
-
The Southern Ore Body reserves reached 1,261 thousand tons, representing a complete addition to the existing resource base.
-
The total increase in reserves at the deposit amounted to 3,931.9 thousand tons.
-
The mine’s operational lifespan has been extended by 10 years, now projected to last until 2042 at an annual production rate of 500 thousand tons.
Savkinskoye Deposit
At the Savkinskoye deposit, preparatory work for pilot-scale mining operations has commenced. In particular, removal of the topsoil and vegetation layer has begun at the future open-pit site. The project, designed to extract up to 500,000 tons of ore over five years, had previously received a positive assessment from the Central Commission on Mineral Resources under Rosnedra.
Geological Exploration
Following the completion of the 2024 exploration program, a full analysis of data collected from prospective areas was conducted, including drilling results, geophysical surveys and geochemical assessments, satellite image interpretation. Based on this analysis, the 2025 geological exploration plan has been developed, incorporating exploratory drilling, advanced geophysical studies, and resource verification of promising deposits.
From geology to innovation,
