The Kaliningrad Amber Plant (part of Rostec) has set a record for amber extraction. From March 1 to October 8, employees of the enterprise extracted 600 tons of solar stone in the Primorsky quarry. This was reported by the press service of the state corporation.
The Rostec press service explained that the last 50 tons of amber were extracted in difficult geological conditions, as work was carried out in the zone of glacial erosion in September.
For development, it was necessary to additionally drill rocks. However, thanks to the optimization of production processes, the plant's employees maintained a high rate of amber extraction.
It is worth recalling that since 2015, Rostec has invested about 2.5 billion rubles in the modernization of the Kaliningrad Amber Plant. This allowed to update mining equipment, purchase new special equipment and create jewelry production.
