The 2020 Pandemic has become a global economic, social and environmental challenge for all countries, including those engaged in mining and that are not expected to stop their mining and mineral processing activities for technical and economic reasons. The mining sector will be particularly important in the near future for the economy of the developed countries as the foundation to recover from the crisis. Mining companies in Russia have demonstrated their resilience to this global-scale shock. Mining companies had to adapt quickly to the new conditions to ensure sustainability during this period. Strategic management of risks associated with the pandemic as well as adequate and timely decisions made by the management of the Uzhuralzoloto Group of Companies ensured sustainable operation of all the mining facilities.
