As a result of torrential rain and the flooding of the Debed River

The drainage channels intended for removing floodwaters via pumps were clogged with soil, sand, and gravel. Additionally, the clarification pond, which collects water used for the closed-cycle ore processing at the beneficiation plant, was flooded. The Company's pumping station on the Debed River, along with its equipment, was completely submerged. The road leading to "Teghut" CJSC was washed out in three locations.

 

These consequences of severe weather and flooding made it impossible to continue ore extraction and processing operations, as well as the delivery of finished products to customers. Production activities were suspended from May 26, 2024, until the elimination of the aforementioned consequences.

 

At present:

 

Ore extraction and processing production have been halted; the personnel involved in these technological processes have been placed on forced leave (downtime) not through the fault of the employer.

 

Cleaning of the clarification pond pump is underway (operating 24/7).

 

The Debed River pumping station is being cleared of soil and stones; inspection and repair of the electrical equipment installed at the station are being carried out.

 

Restoration of the road leading to "Teghut" CJSC is in progress.

 

Furthermore, "Teghut" CJSC has participated in flood relief and recovery efforts by providing personnel and machinery for:

 

Restoration of the pedestrian bridge over the Debed River leading to Akhtala.

Repair of roads in the Shnogh community.

Loading of construction equipment onto railway platforms on the left bank of the Debed River.
