Presentation summary
Development of Copper-Nickel projects in Russia
Currently, the investors do focus on copper and nickel ore deposits, especially on those containing cobalt as an associated mineral. Such increased interest is stipulated by the expected growth in the market of the given group of minerals largely due to development of innovative technologies, like electric vehicles. In addition, the increased interest is related to the depletion of existing deposits of such minerals, including those in the Republic of Kazakhstan. A distinctive feature of new deposits is complex geographical location requiring large amount of investments into external infrastructure facilities. The key factor for the successful development of the deposits is to ensure the state support, as well as implementation of the projects using the maximum efficient technical solutions for ore mining and processing. In recent years, IMC Montan has supported a number of mining projects related to these minerals, including the largest ones.
