Diversified Russian gold producer Nordgold has invested about $15-million in fleet maintenance and new vehicle purchases for its Taborny gold mine in Yakutia, Russia.

Two hauling trucks, an excavator, a grader and two Epiroc drilling rigs have been added to the mine's existing fleet.

The mine will also buy new support vehicles, including buses, fuel trucks and mobile repair units, that will deliver fleet refuelling and maintenance in the field. Other new support vehicles will include a crane truck and a front loader.

Nordgold will invest a further $6-million in mining equipment maintenance at Taborny.

Taborny mobile maintenance director Nikolai Skripkin says the company is undertaking a major development programme with its mining fleet at Taborny.

“This investment will help us maintain the efficiency, but above all, the safety of the Taborny mine. A modern, well invested mining fleet is central to the smooth running of a large mining operation.”

As of August 7, Taborny’s mining fleet includes 53 heavy machines and 45 support vehicles.

The latest investment follows a recent $20-million expansion of the mining equipment fleet at the company's flagship Gross mine, which is Taborny's sister mine.
