‘Russian Copper Company invited a unique specialist because Karabashmed is an enterprise quite unique to Russia. This is a totally new type of production facility, and to run it successfully, one needs enormous metallurgical expertise and innovational thinking as well as an ability to accept and understand the new technological approaches.

‘Karabashmed’s former director S. Elsukov was offered a position in one of the company’s other divisions that fits his experience. Russian Copper Company’s BOD is considering signing a five-year labor contract with Golov,’ the press officer says.
