ArmInfo. Zangezour Copper-Modibdenum Combine intends to implement a new investment program worth $ 20 million, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was  informed about this, who visited the enterprise the day before.

According to the press service of the Armenian government, in the  framework of the new investment program the company intends to  purchase the most modern equipment that will allow the exploitation  of mines with a low ore content.

Previously, ArmInfo reported that the Russian enterprise  Uralvagonzavod concluded a major contract with the Zangezur Copper  and Molybdenum Combine to supply its most powerful bulldozers. The  Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant), which is part  of the UVZ, will create a batch of DET-400M diesel-electric tractors  commercially available for the customer. This equipment will be  transferred to the customer specifically through the ChTZ-Uraltrak  dealer in the Armenian capital - Spetsmash. The largest in Armenia  Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine will be the purchaser of the  equipment. New bulldozers will be involved in ore mining in quarries.  The choice of the customer fell on the unit in an exclusive version -  an imported engine will be installed on the export machine, but  otherwise this tractor will consist entirely of Russian parts and  components. Zangezour Copper and Molybdenum Combine operates the  Kajaran copper-molybdenum deposit. The ore is provided for about 150  years. The plant produces molybdenum and copper concentrates.  Molybdenum concentrate contains 50% molybdenum, copper content in  copper concentrate - not lower than 15%. The company's shareholders  are Germany's Cronimet Mining (60%), Yerevan Iron Pure Plant (15%),  Armenian Molybdenum Production LLC and Zangezur Mining LLC (12.5%  each). The products, processed by the plant, are supplied to Europe.
