In the face of heavy rains that have caused flooding in several villages of the Oymyakonsky district, affecting approximately 1200 people, a meeting was held in Ust-Nera to discuss assistance for the affected area.
The meeting, attended by Mikhail Kirillin, First Deputy Minister of Industry and Geology of the Republic, Alexander Okonechnikov, Head of the Oymyakonsky District, and heads and representatives of gold mining enterprises operating in the municipality, aimed to address the urgent situation.
Aisen Nikolaev, the Head of Yakutia, emphasized the importance of social responsibility, solidarity, and humanity in the situation. He stated that Yakutia's industry is not just about mining but also about helping the community.
Specific enterprises-resource users were assigned to each flooded settlement in the Oymyakonsky district to provide aid. Vladimir Nikonov, deputy general director of one of the enterprises, expressed readiness to help those affected by the floods. Colleagues from other enterprises also expressed their support for helping those in need.
The gold mining industry in Yakutia produces around 10 tons of precious metal annually and significantly contributes to the budget. In times of crisis, these enterprises have been known to support relief efforts through logistics, funding, supply of equipment, or manpower to aid local authorities and affected communities.
However, specific details about the type or extent of assistance from resource enterprises in this instance are not yet available. The meeting in Ust-Nera focused on the allocation of financial resources and dispatch of equipment to aid flood-affected individuals in the Oymyakonsky district.
