Putin Congratulates Yakutugol Employees

Putin said the Elga open-pit’s team had managed to make great progress in a short period of time, and he remembered well how the project evolved right up from the licensing process. “This is a very important and a very promising project for the entire industry, but what is essential and most pleasant is that it develops our Far East territories and allows us to work efficiently not only to benefit our own economy and our country, but also the Asia Pacific markets,” the president said.
