Christian Schaffalitzky, Eurasia's executive chairman, said: “We can take full advantage of the full mining season at Malaya Sosnovka starting now and aim to break ground at the Kluchiki area later in this summer.”
Last month, the platinum group metals and gold producer said its application for a mining permit for the Monchetundra project in Russia was progressing much quicker than expected.
The Russian authority of mining, Rosnedra approved a draft of the permit and forwarded the relevant documents to the ministry for defense (MOD) and Federal Security Service (FSB) for the go-ahead.
