We are developing the Gremyachinskoe potash deposit in the Volgograd region, Russia. Below ground, the two skip shafts have successfully been connected and the implementation of the cage shaft program continues.

The volume of ore mined at the site is sufficient for operations during the initial stage of production as set out in the Group’s plan.

Above ground the flotation plant is in ramp-up mode, with the first concentrate obtained in July 2018. The total hoisting capacity of the two skip shafts is 10 million metric tonnes (MMT) of ore per annum. Phase 1 annual design capacity is estimated at 2.0 MMT and projected to be reached by 2027. Annual ore mining capacity will be 7.3 MMT. In 2023 EuroChem VolgaKaliy almost doubled production (0.7 MMT of potash). In 2023, skip shaft No. 2 was commissioned and the fleet of harvesters was increased. A second process line was also commissioned at the plant, which increased ore processing capacity from 400 to 650 t/h
