Dalur is a modern, promising, high-tech, efficient and socially responsible company and an eminently attractive project for Atomredmetzoloto. The basic kind of activities is in-situ leaching of uranium, which is the most cost-effective and ecologyfriendly method of uranium production. The raw material base of Dalur is the deposits of Transbaikalia ore province, namely, Dalmatovskoe, Khokhlovskoe and Dobrovolnoe, holding approx 17 640 t of recoverable natural uranium. Dalur performance features low geological, technological and ecological risks. The created infrastructure and production activities at Dalmatovskoe deposit offer a firm foundation for the company to implement promising projects of efficient performance over the period to 2045. Dalur JSC was established under Decree No. 187 approved by the Dalmatovsky District Administration Head on June 13, 2001 (Registration Certificate No. 531). The company is one of the three operating uranium producers in the Russian Federation. Dalur is located in the nonresidential land 7 km off the village of Uksyanskoe in the Dalmatovsky District of the Kurgan Region.
