Participants in the meeting agreed to join efforts to implement the Tarynsky Comprehensive Project. AO Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Development Corporation, OAO Vysochaishy and OOO Boguslavets expressed their intention to sign an investment partnership agreement for implementing the TKT.
The meeting focused on coordinating the positions of TKT stakeholders regarding the parameters and conditions for creating the external infrastructure for gold deposits at the Tarynskoe Ore Field, given the centralized power supply to the communities in the south of the Republic of Sakha’s Oymyakon District.
The meeting resolved to present the project at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on 2–3 September 2016.
