Kolskaya MMC will commission a new cobalt production facility this year to replace the one that was damaged by a fire in 2022. New facility is planned to produce 3 thousand tons of cobalt per year. Before the fire, the cobalt production capacity was 2.5 thousand tons. After the fire, Nornickel started extraction of cobalt from concentrate, which allowed to produce up to 1 thousand tons of metallic cobalt per year and cover all contracted volumes of this product.
