the place more modern technology — flotation «WEMCO». Due to this

modernization, management expects to significantly reduce

the production process that will bring «Kola» tangible benefits regarding the quality

separation of Converter matte at the same time reducing production costs

of the finished product. In addition, the new machine (due to the higher degree of extraction

useful elements) will allow the company to increase annual production volumes

19 tonnes of copper and 27 tons of Nickel.

All the management of «Kola» is planning to set up

the phase separation Feinstein 16 units of new equipment. While the current

(the Central part of the Kola Peninsula). At the company’s facilities

is made of electrolytic copper and Nickel, PNK (Nickel powder carbonyl),
