A resident of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation has completed the main stage of work on the project to develop the Pecheguba field in the Murmansk region

A resident of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF), under an agreement with the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC), is implementing an investment project to provide infrastructure for the Pecheguba field in the Murmansk region – the raw material base of JSC “Olkon”.

The mining company, a resident of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, is Russia's northernmost producer of high-quality iron ore concentrate. The mining and processing plant is part of “Severstal's” mining division. 6.6 billion rubles have been invested in the Pecheguba deposit project. "The Pecheguba deposit is scheduled to reach its design capacity in 2027," commented “Olkon” CEO Nikolai Seleznev. "According to our development strategy through 2040, total investment in the enterprise will exceed 90 billion rubles. The bulk of production will come from three major quarries: Olenegorsk, Komsomolsk, and the Pecheguba quarry currently under construction. The plant produces concentrate with an iron content of over 68%. Its main customer is “Severstal's” Cherepovets Iron and Steel Works. The concentrate is used for smelting iron, steel, and rolled metal products.”
