The new open-pit No. 4 will be the largest at the Sredne-Timansky bauxite mine. Mining capital works (the preparation works) lasted three years, during which the miners of Timan Bauxite successfully confronted with a significant volume of stripping operations which amounted to 19.5 million cubic meters. Furthermore, treatment facilities were developed and put into operation, and the requisite mining equipment and machinery were purchased.

There were noteworthy investments made in the mining capital works at the Vezhayu-Vorykvinskoye deposit amounting to almost 2.5 billion rubles, the purchase of new machinery and equipment amounted to about 1 billion rubles, and the construction of treatment facilities cost an additional 350 million rubles.

The commencement of operations at open pit No. 4 is a new stage in the development of the mine. It is predicted that by 2022, production will be completed at open pits No. 1 and No. 3 of the Vezhayu-Vorykvinskoye deposit. Land reclamation will be carried out after the completion of the planning works. Mining capital works are also continuing at open pit No. 2 of the Verkhne-Shchugorskoye deposit where production will start in 2023.

Yakov Itskov, Director of Alumina Division at RUSAL, said: “The development of the Sredne-Timansky bauxite mine is the basis for a stable supply of bauxite to RUSAL's alumina refineries in the Urals, and, therefore, a significant part of the Company's supply of its raw materials. In addition, the commissioning of the new sections will allow Timan Bauxite to contribute to the socio-economic well-being of the region in the long term.”

In December 1992, the Timan Bauxite enterprise was founded and the ore from its deposits is supplied to RUSAL's alumina refineries in the Urals.
