    YEREVAN, July 31. /ARKA/. Construction of the biggest ore-processing
    mill in the region is expected to be completed by the end of 2010,
    reports Hrachya Grigoryan, head of representative office of Cronimite
    Mining (parent company of Zangezur copper-molybdenum factory cjsc)
    in Armenia.

    The new mill will allow bringing the annual yield up to 14 million
    tons, says the report.

    Apart from this, a steam and a transformer stations, as well as a
    water reservoir to ensure environment-friendly water supply to the
    factory are to be built.

    All these investments will enable the factory maintaining its leading
    positions on the world market.

    Despite the continuous financial and economic crisis, Zangezur
    copper-molybdenum factory continues uninterrupted production owing
    to farsighted business and investment policy, financial support of
    the stockholders and flexible sales strategy followed by Cronimite
    parent company on the world market, says the press release.

    Support of Armenian government also largely facilitated stable
    development of the factory and helped implement social programs and
    retain the jobs.

    In 2004 the stockholders approved an investment program for over
    200 million USD to modernize the factory, raise the productivity and
    bring the ore processing volume up to 12.5 million tons per year. The
    program was suc cessfully completed in October 2008.

    Owing to investments and additional financial support from Cronimite
    Mining, Zangezur factory is now able to resist fluctuations on global
    markets, Grigorayn said.

    All jobs a re retained and salaries are paid in time, he said. he
    flexible sales system allowed Cronimite companies' group fully making
    up for losses from fall in demand for molybdenum and redirect the
    ready product from the European markets to Asian ones.

    As a result of the investment program, the product prime cost went
    down: this, together with rise in world prices allows implementing
    the next planned investments, Grigoryan said.

    Cronimite is a group of companies operating throughout the world. Since
    December 2004 Cronimite Mining has been holding 60% of the shares
    of Zangezur copper-molybdenum factory cjsc. Other stockholders are
    Armenian Pure Iron Factory (15%), Zangezur Mining llc (12.5%) and
    Armenian Molybdenum Production company (12.5%).
