The development of the Kolichkanskoye deposit in Buryatia began ahead of schedule. The first ore was recovered from deep areas of the Yubileynoye deposit. Positive opinions were obtained from Glavgosexpertiza of Russia for projects to develop the Khokhlovskoye uranium deposit and the Dybrynskoye deposit, as well as for the construction of a mining and processing plant and port facilities at the Pavlovskoye lead and zinc deposit. Operating results Indicator 2020 2021 2022 Change analysis Uranium production, 2,846 2,635 2,508 tonnes The decrease in output was caused by a high level of depletion of existing mines and deposits. Uranium resources (Russian assets), '000 509.4 506.4 503.7 tonnes Average headcount, persons 7,246 7,325 7,689 LTIFR 0 0.22 0.21 Tax payments (actual), 7.6 6.4 7.2 RUB billion 30 Consolidated revenue (RAS), RUB billion 20.4 23.2 24.7 The decrease was due to the annual depletion of economic uranium reserves during mining. The growth was driven by the expansion of mining, processing and auxiliary infrastructure of uranium mining enterprises, expansion of the scope of external projects of JSC Elkon Mining and Metallurgical Plant, as well as drilling, construction and installation operations at JSC RUSBURMASH. The changes were insignificant. The growth of tax payments was due to an increase in the Division's revenue and the payroll fund across core production assets. Revenue growth was driven by business diversification.
