Krasnoyarsk region
The Krasnoyarsk region covers approximately 2,339,700km2 and stretches across the central part of the Russian Federation. The area is rich in various types of mineral resources, including coal, oil, gas, iron-ore, magnetite, platinum, lead, copper, nickel, graphite and other rare and precious metals and minerals. It is one of the largest and oldest gold-producing regions of Russia.
Petropavlovsk's assets in the Krasnoyarsk region include the significant Visokoe non-refractory deposit, currently at a pre-production stage, as well as the Troeusovskaya and Verkhnetisskaya exploration licence areas. All three assets are located on the Yenisei Ridge, which has been a key area for the Russian gold mining industry for decades and is home to large, well-known, deposits such as Olimpiada and Blagodatnoe, both operated by Polyus Gold.
