Demand for the products has been confirmed, the issue of building the second stage as part of the development of the Kuskovo-Shiryaevsky site is being worked out in order to increase the production capacity to 2.3 million tons of ore sands per year.

At a meeting with the management of the enterprise and the Mining Division of Rosatom State Corporation, production plans and the investment program of TGOK Ilmenit JSC were discussed.
