GeoProMining, a diversified international group of mining companies,
is pleased to announce that the Agarak Copper-Molybdenum Combine
(ACMC) has launched a closed water circulation system. Introduction
of the new advanced circulation system is part of a large-scale
modernization programme at ACMC. The budget of the project, which
started in September 2011 amounted to USD4.5 million.
The new system of closed water circulation allows to completely
excluding ingress of technical water into the environment, including
the cross-border Araks River. A multilevel system includes two
separate pools for cleaning, located on the territory of the tailing
site Davazami. Backup power systems of water transmission provide
uninterrupted circulation of water from the pools to the complex and
back. The new system will also allow sharply reduce the volume of
clean water used in the production process.
"Caring about the environment, compliance with international
environmental standards, using advanced technology are fundamental
principles of sustainable development of the GeoProMining companies.
Modernization of GPM's facilities had several primary tasks: it
combined both restoring the economic potential of the mines and
plants and creation of a high-technology production process adhering
to highest standards of efficiency and environmental safety. The new
system of water circulation at ACMC is a good example of GeoProMining
performance in Armenia", said GeoProMining President Roman Khudoliy.
Agarak Copper-Molybdenum Complex is part of the international group
of companies GeoProMining. In 2009-2012 the complex and mine were
completely renovated and reached the processing capacity of the 3.5
million tonnes of ore annually. The complex is located in the most
southern city of Armenia Agarak and produces copper and molybdenum
concentrate.
GeoProMining, founded in 2001, is an international, privately held
company with a diversified base of gold and other metals assets.
GeoProMining engages in mining activities in Armenia and the Russian
Federation. In Armenia GeoProMining owns two companies: the Agarak
Copper and Molybdenum Plant and GPM Gold company developing the Sotk
gold mine and managing the Ararat gold factory.
