Gold refinery to be built in Armenia

Vahagn Lalayan, chief of the Armenian economic development and investments ministry’s investment policy division, told journalists on Friday that a gold-refining plant is planned to be built in Armenia.

In his words, four to five tons of gold are extracted every year in Armenia, and after the launch of new equipment by Lydian International the annual output is expected to reach 10 to 12 tons already by the end of this year or in the beginning of 2018.

The Armenian subsidiary of Lydian International is engaged in construction of mining facilities in Amulsar gold deposit in Armenia’s Jermuk.
