YEREVAN. - The gold in Armenia's gold mines will suffice for 20-25
years,
Energy and Natural Resources Minister Armen Movsisyan said the
aforementioned at an international conference on mining industry,
which is convened Tuesday in capital city Yerevan.
As per Movsisyan, the country's copper-molybdenum and lead-zinc ores
will be enough for 100-120 and 20-25 years, respectively.
The minister added that there are about 850 useful mineral and
non-mineral mines in Armenia, and 37 of these are metal mines.
"[But] the extracted useful minerals need to be diversified. To
this end, the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry had developed a
principle, in 2013, on the extraction of useful non-metallic minerals,"
Armen Movsisyan noted.
