Tardan's gold goes to the West

From environmental pollution to withdrawal of funds

Law enforcement and supervisory authorities are conducting inspections of the largest gold miner in Tuva - "Tardan Gold"

The management of the gold mining company "Tardan Gold" has managed to work on all fronts of sabotage over the past decade and a half and earn not only crazy amounts, but also a whole list of violations. We are talking about the company's general director Lange Danilo, as well as his deputies, shareholders, etc. According to sources, the enterprise is currently being inspected due to gross violations of environmental standards that have caused irreparable damage to the environment. Thus, the soil 30 meters downstream from the discharge point of the Tardan deposit is contaminated with sulfate ion.

This result was caused by the fact that the crushing complex operated without the gas cleaning required for it. Moreover, Tardan Gold had the equipment for this, but the company used it as if it had been foisted on it by enemies: there was no technical documentation, no regular inspections of the installation - they didn't even appoint anyone responsible for this.

Harm to the environment is only one side of the coin, the company violated the law in other ways as well. For example, part of its profits went straight to Sweden, bypassing Russian legislation. It is worth noting that the company's owners are from the UK and the US. We are talking about Peter Darsbury (Chairman of the Board of Directors), Preston Haskell (member of the Social Democrats), Jukka Pitkäjärvi (member of the Social Democrats) and Thor Olgren (member of the Social Democrats). The company not only does not have a single Russian shareholder, but it doesn't even have a manager.



All of this has become the reason for active inspections of the company. Moreover, according to information from the Prosecutor General's Office, the top brass has already decided to nationalize the asset. The initiator of this is the Prosecutor General's Office.

The process of transferring assets to state ownership in Russia has been worked out over the past two years: in total, 180 private companies have been nationalized in the two years since the start of the SVO, according to a study by Novaya Evropa (recognized as undesirable in Russia) and Transparency.

Examples of nationalized foreign companies: Fortum, Uniper, Baltika, Carlsber, Danone and others. Usually the process itself is quite fast, and therefore it can be expected that in the near future the assets of the gold miner Tuva will also be transferred to the state.
