Amur Minerals assesses the environmental impact of Kun-Manye development
The field development project includes the construction of a plant, a power plant and other facilities.
(c) Internet January 16, 2020, NEDRADV. The British Amur Minerals has completed an environmental assessment of the Kun Manier project, which is a necessary component of a feasibility study. The study was conducted by the Institute of Water and Environmental Problems, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The development of the Kun-Manye nickel-copper-sulfide ore deposit does not require additional environmental protection measures, except for the standard set of measures used in the extraction of minerals, the company reports.
It should be noted that the development of this deposit involves the construction of a plant for processing copper-nickel ores with a capacity of 6 million tons of ores per year (the launch is scheduled for 2022), a power station, a tailing dump, a 320 km access road and other facilities. Investments in the project are estimated in the range from $ 550 million to $ 700 million.
Amur Minerals plans to prepare a feasibility study for the project by December 1, 2020. The feasibility study program will be based on a preliminary feasibility study drawn up by the company in February 2019. In January of this year, Amur Minerals plans to update the economic assessment of the project, approve the final flow chart, and prepare the necessary documentation for the State Reserves Committee
