MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian Presidential Adviser Sergei Glazyev told Sputnik on Monday that the recently negotiated Russian-Chinese project on joint construction of the uranium mine was a breakthrough agreement.
"Both sides consider the project as the first step in widening cooperation. I think that the project is a breakthrough for creating mechanisms for joint investments in general," Glazyev said after the signing ceremony.

Russia, China to Work Jointly on Global Uranium Production Markets - Rosatom
Earlier in the day, an agreement envisaging the involvement of the Russia-China Investment Fund for Regional Development in construction of the mine in Russia's Zabaikalsky Territory was signed in Moscow.
The official added that the two countries needed new forms of cooperation and that such joint projects could contribute to the strengthening of bilateral ties.
The new project is expected to cost about 18.5 billion rubles ($330 million at current exchange rates). The fund's first contribution is estimated at 2.5 billion rubles.

Russia brings Chinese funding into uranium mining
13 March 2018
Russia has opened its uranium mining industry to foreign investment with an agreement signed yesterday between the Russia-China Investment Fund for Regional Development (RCIF), ARMZ Uranium Holding, and Priargunsky Industrial Mining and Chemical Union (PIMCU). ARMZ and PIMCU are subsidiaries of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom.

The three parties to the agreement will work on a uranium mining project, valued at RUB18.5 billion (USD325 million), in Priargunsky District, which is in the Zabaikalsky Region of Siberia.
Mine No. 6 has reported total reserves of 38,000 tonnes of uranium, which is 35% of PIMCU's reserves. The project foresees an annual capacity of 850,000 tonnes of uranium ore. Russia plans to bring the mine into operation in 2023.
"Both sides consider the project as the first step in widening cooperation," Russian presidential adviser Sergey Glazyev said, according to Sputnik. "I think that the enterprise is a breakthrough for creating mechanisms for joint investments in general."
PIMCU will own 51% of the new venture, while ARMZ will own the remaining 49%. Most of the project will be financed by China National Nuclear Corporation, which Russia media say is planning to invest RUB16.1 billion, while the Fund will invest RUB2.5 billion.
PIMCU, of which ARMZ owns 85%, has six underground mines in the Zabaikalsky Region - most of them operating - to supply low-grade ore to a central mill near Krasnokamensk, which is the second biggest city in the Zabaikalsky Territory.
Development of Mine No. 6 started in 2009 for stage 1 production from 2015 to reach full capacity in 2019, but this was put on hold in 2013. In March 2015, ARMZ said it hoped to find co-investors in the project. The following month, Rosatom's Investment Committee decided to finance the development to about $500 million over 2016 to 2022. In August 2016, ARMZ said funding of RUB27 billion was expected, to enable 2022 commissioning. PIMCU is focused on development of Mine No. 6, the production cost of which is USD90/kgU, to reach 1800 tU/yr.
Construction launched
Rosatom announced today that construction work had started at Mine No.6, which was marked at a ceremony attended by company and government officials.
Natalya Zhdanova, governor of the Zabaikalsky Territory, said Krasnokamensk and PIMCU are "entering a new era of development".
She said: "For the city to live and prosper every year, the miners of Krasnokamensk every hour of every day make an enormous contribution to the development of the Russian nuclear industry. Today we are witnessing an historic event - the launch of the project for which we have fought steadily and whose construction is supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin."
She added that the history of the mine started many years ago, but the time of Perestroika meant such new projects could not be undertaken.
The total area of the construction site is 3510 square metres and work is being performed by Atomspetsstroy LLC, Rosatom said. The main step-down substation of the mine, which will provide electricity to the site, is to be completed before the end of this year, it added. PIMCU will then build surface mine buildings, perform mining and capital works and the technical refitting of the hydrometallurgical plant.
The first stage of the mine will be put into operation in 2023, it said. At the third stage, in 2024-2025, the mining and capital works will have been completed and the facility will then reach its design capacity.
ARMZ said last month that the mineable reserves of the Argunskoye and Zherlovskoye Deposits of the Streltsovskoye ore field are about 40,000 tonnes of uranium, that the average content of the strategic metal therein is higher than in other existing mines, which "guarantees a competitive production cost".
First project
Establishment of the RCIF was announced during the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Moscow in July last year.
The Mine No. 6 agreement - the RCIF's first project - was signed in Moscow yesterday by the ARMZ Director General Vladimir Verkhovtsev, RCIF Chairman Wang Feng and PIMCU Deputy General Director for economics and finance Denis Mikhailov.
At the signing ceremony, Wang Feng said: "It is very important that the fund's first project is connected with nuclear energy. You could say both countries made the political decision that the first project would be Mine No. 6." He added: "We will do everything necessary to ensure that this project is successfully completed."
Nikolay Spassky, Rosatom's deputy director general for international activities, said Russia's cooperation with China in the peaceful use of nuclear energy is unique, since it has no similarly extensive arrangement with any other country.
"We are building nuclear power plants together, we are cooperating on scientific breakthroughs, we are working on the nuclear fuel cycle," he said, adding that a new chapter was now opening in the history of their cooperation.

俄罗斯赠送一"宝藏"正是我国急需 助力中国核能发展
俄罗斯赠送一"宝藏"正是我国急需 助力中国核能发展

资料图：普里额尔古纳斯克矿山
俄罗斯决定，将其最大的铀矿开采工厂旗下普里额尔古纳斯克矿山拿出来同中国合作，中国首次加入俄罗斯国家原子能公司的铀矿开采项目，中俄双方均表示，这是一项具有特殊性和突破性的合作。
3月12日，这项合作协议在莫斯科签署，标志中俄合作达到了一个新高度，中俄地区合作发展投资基金将在俄罗斯最大的铀矿开采工厂建设具有战略意义的6号矿山。
铀矿的重要对中国不言而喻，中国正在强力开发清洁能源，核能的利用是其中非常重要的一环。然而，目前公开的铀矿储藏数量显示，中国排在10名开外，被认为是不适合将核电作为满足长远需求的国家。
资料图：铀矿
中国严重缺乏铀矿，2015年的数据显示，中国一年消耗6297吨铀矿，但国内铀矿总产量仅为1616吨，对国外进口的依赖度超过了70%，同年中国原油对进口的依赖度为60.6%。中国还在大力发展核能发电，对铀矿需求量还在增大，预计到2020年每年需求量将达到10150吨，届时状况更加紧急。
这是续中俄在太空探索领域合作之后，俄罗斯方面表现出的最大合作诚意，俄国家原子能公司高层称，这种合作是俄罗斯同其他国家从来没有过的，现在中俄翻开了新的历史一页。
目前全球探明的铀矿有590万吨，澳大利亚独占了170万吨，占全球总量30%。澳大利亚本身核能利用不多，大部分铀矿用于出口。但这个国家近年对我国表现的并不友好，中资收购澳洲矿山也屡屡受挫。这种环境下，俄罗斯向中国开发最大铀矿工厂，就显得至关重要。
资料图：铀矿
不过，目前尚不清楚中俄合作的6号矿山年产铀矿多少吨，好在中国之前在纳米比亚全资收购了世界储量第三的湖山铀矿，该矿山储量为29.3万吨，在2017年8月3日，中国商务部宣布了湖山铀矿产出了首捅铀。按照计划，湖山铀矿年产将达到7000吨，成为世界第二大产铀矿山。
因为纳米比亚湖山铀矿为中资全资拥有，这让中国摆脱了受制于人的局面。2020年，中国铀矿需求总量的85%左右近8500吨需要从国外运回，湖山铀矿加上国内开采的铀矿也不足以满足需求，中俄合作的6号矿山正好补入。（前沿哨所）
