Kola Peninsula (Kola MMC)
Severny Mine was allotted to develop Pechenga ore fields (the Kola Peninsula), including Zhdanovskoye, Zapolyarnoye, Kotselvaara-Kammikivi, and Semiletka (Kaula-Kotselvaara mine) Fields. In addition to those, Severny Mine’s allotment also embraces Sputnik, Bystrinskoye, Tundrovoye, and Verkhneye Fields.
The copper-nickel reserves of Zhdanovskoye, Zapolyarnoye, Kotselvaara-Kammikivi and Semiletka were further explored and assigned higher classification categories.
In the long term, the Kola Peninsula’s available mineral resource base will allow Norilsk Nickel to maintain its current level of metal output.
