Pioneer - Production

Pioneer is the Group’s largest mine by production volume and one of the largest gold mines in the Russia. 

Pioneer’s overall performance in 2011 was strong, with the mine producing 359,100oz of gold, a 56% increase on 2010. This increase reflects a set of measures implemented during 2011 to improve on-site efficiencies, the mining and processing of higher grades during Q3 2011, as planned, and the full contribution of the third RIP processing line, which was commissioned in April 2010.
