YEREVAN, March 14. / ARKA /.”GeoProMining Gold” LLC plans to build crushing and screening system, and all the requirements for its design and construction will be met on a timely basis, the company’s department for press and public relations told ARKA. The crushing and screening system will be installed at the distance of 37 kilometers from Lake Sevan.
Crushing and screening system is a common jaw-crusher and vibrating grid, coupled with a small conveyor-belt. The system is used to reduce the sizes of stone pieces, the so-called “oversize” ore, which are unsuitable for transportation by the railway, because they cause serious damage to the carriage fleet of the South-Caucasian Railway. To present day, "oversize" ore was crushed at Sotk mine with the help of rock-breaker of low productivity, or with the help of blasting operations, and currently it is planned to automate this process.
Crushing and screening system will be located within the permitted and leased by the “GPM Gold” land (Lease Agreement No.1, dated 11.06.2010), allotted to Sotk mine, and currently preparation of working documents is underway.
No chemical components are used for crushing of "oversize" ore. Currently, no any complaints have been reported at GPM Gold from the residents of Sotk and other neighboring villages on the possible impact of the crushing and screening system, moreover, Sotk village administration officially reported to the company that they have no any complaints related to the issue
There are hundreds of crushing and screening systems in Armenia, many of which are operated in close proximity (not more than 1.5 km) of Lake Sevan.
GPM GOLD is developing Sotk gold mine and owns Ararat gold recovery plant .It is part of Russian GeoProMining group of companies. GeoProMining acquired 100% of Sterlite Gold Ltd from international Vedanta Resources in 2007 September. Sterlite Gold Ltd was the only owner of AGRC that was later renamed GPM GOLD. -0-
