- The stripping ratio in 3Q and 9 months of 2021 was 2.1 m3/t and 2.3m3/t respectively.
- The gold in ore mined in 3Q 2021 was 1,212 kg which is 160% more than in the same quarter of the previous year due to the increase in ore mined by 57% as well as the increase of the average gold grade in ore mined by 66%. In the 9 months of 2021 there were 2,547 kg of gold mined, which is a 78% increase in respect of 9 months of 2020.
- The gold production in 3Q 2021 and 9 months of 2021 amounted to 19.8k ounces and 50.8 k ounces respectively. The increase for 9 months of 49% as compared to the same period of the previous year was due to the volumes produced at Nasedkino deposit.
- The gold sales in 3Q 2021 and 9 months of 2021 amounted to 19.9 and 49.1 k ounces respectively. The increase in respect of the same periods of the prior year is attributed to higher mining and production volumes.
Nasedkino deposit
- The volume of mining in the 3Q and 9 months of 2021 was 404k and 1,005k tons respectively. The increase in respect of the comparative periods of the previous year is due to the increased mining and stripping activity along the whole area of the deposit in the current period.

This is related to the development of the blocks with a higher concentration of gold on Zhelanny area as specified in the production plan for 2021.
- 165k and 532 tons of ore were processed in the 3Q and 9 months of 2021 respectively. The gold grade in ore processed is 2.9 and 2.5 g/t for the 3Q and 9 months of 2021 respectively that is higher than in the previous period (1.6 g/t). The higher concentration in ore processed is in line with the higher gold grade in ore mined.
