Amur Minerals Corporation (LON:AMC) has held a series of meetings with Russian officials with regard to the development of infrastructure around the company’s Kun-Manie nickel sulphide project in the Far East.
Key participants to the meetings included the Governor of Amur Oblast, the Deputy Head of the Government, State Ministers and additional staff of the state and regional ministries including that of Natural Resources, Amurnedra, Transport, Forestry and Economic Development.
Meetings with representatives of the Russian Rail system were also held.
These are the first such meetings to take place since Amur signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Chinese nickel major Jinchuan.
Amur said that it will need to construct 320 kilometres of road in order to secure working access to Kun-Manie on a standalone basis.
It also said that three processing routes for Kun-Manie ore remained open to it: smelting in China, a standalone concentrate facility next door to the local railway, and a bigger facility capable of taking on additional ore from other projects.
