en.Wedoany.com Reported - Polymetal (АО «Полиметалл») is considering returning to the Pacific Hydrometallurgical Combine (Тихоокеанский ГМК) project in Sovetskaya Gavan, Khabarovsk Krai. The company's Board Chairman, Alexander Govorunov, announced this during the signing of a tripartite cooperation agreement between Polymetal, the regional government, and Rosvodokanal.

Govorunov stated that the company has now returned to preliminary design work and is assessing the infrastructure conditions in the region, expressing strong optimism about the project's prospects.

The parties agreed to cooperate on the construction of wastewater treatment facilities in Sovetskaya Gavan. Polymetal will provide funding for the preparation of design and budget documentation. Govorunov emphasized that once the wastewater treatment facilities are operational, Polymetal can resume construction of the combine.

During the signing, it was noted that Sovetskaya Gavan currently lacks wastewater treatment facilities. The commissioning of these facilities will significantly reduce the environmental burden and provide impetus for local industrial development.

The Pacific Hydrometallurgical Combine is designed to process refractory concentrates, with a planned capacity of 250,000 to 300,000 tons of purchased gold concentrate per year. The project was originally scheduled to commence operations in 2027. In April 2022, investors were informed that the project had been postponed indefinitely due to difficulties in equipment supply.
