Gorodov

Gorodov is a Russian gold mine located in the Amur Oblast, Russia. The mine is situated approximately 50 kilometers north of the city of Blagoveshchensk and is operated by Polymetal International, a multinational precious metals mining company.

The mine began production in 2012 and has been producing gold and copper since then. The mine's reserves are estimated to contain 260 tons of gold, making it one of the largest gold mines in Russia. The ore is processed using a combination of flotation and cyanidation techniques to extract the gold and copper.

Gorodov is an open-pit mine, with the extraction of ore taking place through a series of benches built into the side of the pit. The mine's operations involve a range of activities, including drilling, blasting, and hauling of ore to the processing plant.

The mine has generated significant revenue for Polymetal International and has created employment opportunities for local residents. The company has also engaged in sustainability initiatives, including environmental monitoring and rehabilitation programs to mitigate the impact of mining activities on the surrounding ecosystem.

The mine's pit is expected to be operational until 2025, after which it will be transitioned into a tailings storage facility. The mine's operations have been subject to regulatory oversight, with the company complying with all relevant environmental and health and safety regulations. Overall, Gorodov is a significant gold mining operation in Russia, contributing to the country's gold production and generating revenue for its operators.
