Environmental Sustainability and Protection in the Development of the Deposit “Polmostundrovskoye”

The construction of production facilities at deposits has a significant impact on the surrounding environment. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively ensure environmental safety, taking into account the vulnerability of the natural environment and avoiding contradictions with natural patterns, in order to prevent irreversible processes.

  • Features of the Far North: Environmental Sustainability and Nature Conservation

This influencing factor is especially noticeable in the development of deposits in the Far North, in zones of low ecological sustainability and self-generation capacity, such as the tundra biogeocenoses of the Kola Peninsula. All projects for the development of such deposits include a section on “Nature Protection”, with additional clarification of environmental protection measures through an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in the work execution projects.

  • Environmental Engineering Preparation and Reclamation: The Polmostundrovskoye Deposit Project

The design and estimate documentation for the development of the Polmostundrovskoye deposit provides for special environmental engineering preparation measures. Comprehensive restoration work (reclamation) takes into account the specifics of the work during the field development. The safety of surrounding water bodies is ensured by a closed water circulation cycle system.

  • Safe Transportation: One Road from Lovozero to the Polmostundrovskoye Deposit

Only one two-lane road from the village of Lovozero to the Polmostundrovskoye deposit will be laid. Its design and arrangement will take into account all the necessary factors from the point of view of preserving the ecology.

The development of the deposit does not involve the use of hazardous chemical reagents. The ore material will only be subjected to crushing, grinding and separation.

  • Environmental Cleanliness of Production: Safety and Absence of Harmful Substances

The operation of the heavy media separation plant does not generate hazardous, environmentally harmful components. There are no dangerous radiation, production waste, discharges, effluents, or atmospheric emissions.

The closed water circulation cycle system will ensure the safety of the surrounding water bodies.
