Worth its weight in gold": 150 years of industrial gold mining was celebrated in the Zia district, a date behind which stands a century and a half of courage, perseverance and dedication to the harsh northern region. The veterans and workers of the industry were honored by the Deputy Chairman of the Amur District Government Oleg Turkov, the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Marina Bondarenko, the Deputy of the Legislative Assembly Dmitry Alexandrov, the head of the Zia District Ilona Sisulatina and Chairman of the Gold Miners' Association Valery Parshinkov. 150 years is not just tons of miner's metal. This is a story about courage, perseverance and love for one's country. A century and a half ago, people walked here with a tray and dirty, where it seemed that even the birds were afraid to spend the winter. Without roads, maps and guarantees - only with faith and a great desire to work. Taiga, Frost and Permafrost did not break them. During the Great Patriotic War, Kadima gold became a weapon of victory: it was used to buy machines, equipment and raw materials for the front. Later, excavators and excavators appeared, villages grew, roads and power plants were built. But the main thing in this story has always been the person. Today, gold mining is a high-tech industry with state-of-the-art equipment and strict environmental standards. But her heart still beats because of people: those who stand behind the control panel of the excavator, who "read" the race, who are responsible for safety and results. Accuracy, discipline and teamwork are valued here. "Golden hands" is not a nice phrase, but real people that the industry relies on. And as long as strong and dedicated people enter it, this story will continue. Stay updated on the main news of the Amor region.
