IA REGNUM informs that gold washing company Marakan has been totally renewed recently. 15 years ago it washed 1300 kg of gold. During perestroika period Marakan was deprived of its equipment, gave up its positions and washing volumes decreased down to 113 kg of gold a year.

However, in the recent past the situation at Marakan has changed. A drag was reconstructed at the enterprise (the volume of it being 400 litres), its equipment has been modernised and updated. Every year the enterprise increases gold washing volume — this year the result was over 800 kg of the precious metal.
