The core of the Central hub is Aginsky Mining and Processing Plant and the deposit with the same name within its structure. This is the first deposit in Kamchatka where gold ore production began. The enterprise is located 280 km north of Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky.
The main portion of construction was made in 2004 and 2005.
Over 150 km of roads were built by the company in the fields of the Northern hub.
In 2005, Aginsky plant made its first doré bar and reached its design capacity in 2006.
Aginskoye. The deposit was discovered in 1964. Prospecting and exploration works were conducted from 1973 to 1985. Mining is made by underground method.
Baranyevskoye. Prospecting and exploration were conducted from early 1970's. This deposit will be the main feedstock for Aginsky Plant when the Aginskoye deposit resources are depleted. It will be mined by underground method.
Zolotoye. This deposit was identified in 1970-80's as a result of greenfield exploration. The Zolotoye deposit ores are rich with gold, with mining made by underground method.
