    AKHTALA MINE PLANS TO INCREASE COPPER CONCENTRATE OUTPUT TO 1,600 TONS NEXT YEAR

    YEREVAN, November 19. /ARKA/. Akhtala mining factory is planning to
    increase its copper concentrate production output to 1,600 tons in
    2015, head of mineralogy at the factory Vazgen Vardanyan said at a
    discussion in the office of the minister of economy Karen Chshmarityan.

    Number of staff was 650 in 2013 and is some 750-800 people today,
    Vardanyan said. The factory produced 1,000-1,100 tons of copper
    concentrate in 2013 and is expected to produce 1,200 tons this year.

    According to 2015 development plans, copper concentrate production
    output is to be brought up to 1,400-1,600 tons, he said.

    Vardanyan also said new methods and equipment are being applied in
    the factory to ease the workload.

    A geological prospecting is under way to expand operations, he said.

    At the time Akhtala mine provided 30% of ore concentrate in the Russian
    Empire. Today its products are both sold inside Armenia and exported
    to a number of countries. -0--
