Artsakh Official: Base Metals to Operate Kashen Copper Mine for at Least 25 Years

10:00, July 2, 2012

Last week, the government of Artsakh gave the go-ahead for mining operations at Kashen.

Prior to government approval, an inter-agency group had been set-up consisting of both government officials and outside experts to prepare a project plan for the mine. Representatives from the Vallex Group were also included.

The mine site in the Martakert region includes the villages of Vardadzor, Tchankatagh, and Tzaghkashen.

Base Metals, a Vallex Group subsidiary, will operate the mine.

Hetq spoke with Felix Dalakyan, who heads the Natural Resources Agency for the Artsakh government and is a member of the Resources Utilization Advisory Board.

Mr. Dalakyan, tell us a bit about the mine.
