Trutnev said gold production could rise 50%-60% in ten years. "Some 50 lode gold deposits and complex mineral deposits will go on stream by then, enabling us to raise mine production to 250 tonnes annually," he said.
Russia is mining about 168 tonnes of gold annually at present and is the world's fifth biggest gold producer, Trutnev said. The country has the world's second biggest proven gold reserves, Trutnev said.
