In 2016, the flux and dolomite business of the UMG investment company, represented by the Novotroitskoye Ore Mining (NOM) and the Dokuchayevsk Flux and Dolomite Plant (DFDP), increased the sales of limestone products by 24.4% YOY, up to 3.4 million tonnes.

As a result of the destruction of the railway infrastructure of Dokuchayevsky flux-dolomite plant (Dokuchaevsk, Donetsk Region) the shipping of their products cannot be continued to end users. As a consequence, stoppage of plant operation led to a shortage of raw materials on the market.

A scheduled rotation of Board members took place at Private Joint Stock Company “Dokuchayevsk Flux and Dolomite Plant” and Private Joint Stock Company “Novotroitskoye Ore Mining” as required by the companies’ Charters.
