Magadan region

Natalka

Located about 400 km away from the sea port of Magadan in the Far East of Russia, Natalka is one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The mine is expected to have the processing capacity of 10 mln tonnes of ore and approximately 500 thousand ounces of gold production annually at the launch of its operations. Following a stage by stage increase of the mill throughput to 40 mln tonnes of ore annually, Natalka may potentially expand its production up to 1.5 mln ounces of gold per year.
