Yuri Trutnev: the development of enterprises strengthens the power of the Arctic and the entire country

Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation - Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev took part in the commissioning ceremony of the new underground horizon of the Kirovsky mine of the Kirov branch of “Apatit” JSC (“PhosAgro” Group). “The ore mined here serves as raw material for the production of PhosAgro fertilizers, which are exported to 100 countries around the world. The company’s work is important not only for the Murmansk region, it is important for our entire country, it makes Russia stronger,” Yuri Trutnev opened the ceremony. The implementation of the project for the development of a new underground horizon at the Kirovsky mine began in December 2015. It was necessary to compensate for the mine's failing horizons in order to maintain and increase the volume of production of apatite-nepheline ore. The total volume of apatite-nepheline ore reserves involved in mining with the commissioning of a new level of the Kirov mine will be about 300 million tons
