Alrosa has studied the issue of preserving a number of placer deposits

Alrosa has planned to reduce its production by 15% in 2026 and has studied the possibility of conserving a number of placer deposits, told Alexey Moiseev, Deputy Minister of Finance. Closing a mine is quite difficult, but closing placer deposits is not, he said. Once the market stabilizes again and prices rise, the deposits will be reopened.
