Governor of Sverdlovsk Region Alexander Misharin coordinated a meeting dedicated to the state of affairs at Malyshevskiy emerald and beryllium deposit. The meeting was attended by members of Sverdlovsk Region Government, heads of the security forces, and representatives of Kaliningrad amber plant (the deposit’s current subsoil user).

The amber plant is operating under a temporary license at the moment; however, the Governor asked the federal Finance Ministry and the Ministry for Natural Resources & Environment to speed up the decision-making process related to offering the plant a permanent subsoil user’s license.

It was announced at the meeting that all the decrees necessary for the stable performance of the emerald mine were to be adopted within three months’ time.
