According to the press service of Rosgeologia, according to preliminary estimates, the reserves of nickel in the Monchegorsk ore region are 1,600,000 tons, copper - 1,180,000 tons, platinum group metals - 724 tons.
“According to the data of drilling and mining operations, in comparison with the planned indicators, the capacity of the ore zone has doubled,” the press service said.
Field work near Monchegorsk in the Murmansk region is carried out under a state contract at the expense of the federal budget.
The study area is over 11 sq. km. In the field season of this year, as a result of the work carried out during the summer field season, a new zone with deposits of platinum group metals was revealed.
New geological data on the site of the Poaz mountain range of the Monchegorsk ore region confirm the unique resources of the site for platinoids.
“It is still necessary to assess the accuracy of geological forecasts, as well as to undergo expert confirmation of the estimated resources. But if the expectations of the geologists are correct, then this will be a good contribution to the resource base of the region, ”the press service explained.
The ministry added that prospecting studies have begun on platinum-bearing reefs in the southern part of the region. Completion of work under the contract is scheduled for 2020, TASS reports .
“The main result of the project should be the approved predicted resources of platinum group metals, as well as associated components - gold, nickel and copper,” a source in Rosgeologia said.
