Amaroq pours first gold at Nalunaq mine in Greenland
The pour took place on Wednesday, following approval of Phase 1 commissioning of the Nalunaq processing plant by the Greenlandic government.
Firefighters put out a “huge” fire on Sunday at Russian steelmaker MMK, in the city of Magnitogorsk in the south Ural mountains, the emergencies ministry said.
It said the plant’s conveyor belt caught fire at around 0900 (0400 GMT). No one was hurt in the incident, whose cause was being investigated. The stoppage had no impact on production.
The company, controlled by Russian businessman Viktor Rashnikov, said last week it expected first-quarter sales of finished products to remain under pressure from weak seasonal demand amid low global prices.
