    Russian-Armenian uranium joint-venture starts work in Armenia

    YEREVAN Oct 31


    ZAO Armenian-Russian Mining Company has begun geophysical and
    geochemical exploration of uranium resources in Armenia, Armenian
    Energy and Natural Resources Minister Armen Movsisyan told Interfax.

    The company has received a license and has recently started field
    work, he said. The company is scheduled to start drilling work in the
    Syunik region in southern Armenia in 2009, he said.

    Experts estimate Armenia's uranium reserves at a level of 10,000 to
    60,000 tonnes.

    In addition, Armenia has completed the procedures of joining the
    international enrichment center in Angarsk, where the uranium
    extracted in Armenia will likely be processed.

    ZAO Armenian-Russian Mining Company was created on a parity basis in
    Armenia on July 16, 2008. Russia provided $3 billion for the
    geological exploration of uranium.
