Alrosa selects top projects for resuming production at Mir

Out of the 33 entries in the competition that Russian diamond miner Alrosa launched to find a technical solution for resuming mining operations at the Mir deposit, three projects have been awarded the second and third places, but no outright winner was named. The second place was taken by two projects, one of which was presented by employees of Alrosa and the other by the Yakutniproalmaz Institute. The third place was awarded to a project by five authors representing several organisations.
