Abitibi Metals boosts resource by 62% at B26 polymetallic deposit in Quebec
Indicated resources increased to 11.3 million tonnes from 6.9 Mt.
Gold and silver producer Polymetal is considering disposing of its Russian assets in a shift to focus on its operations in Kazakhstan, the company said on Tuesday.
The potential sale would be part of the firm’s broader strategy to “de-risk its ongoing operations,” the company said in a statement.
The miner also hoped offloading its Russian assets would shore-up Polymetal’s footing on global capital markets, allowing it to re-enter equity indices that it was ejected from in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the company said.
