In 2005, Acron Group, a leading mineral fertiliser producer in Russia and globally, founded a mining unit, North-Western Phosphorous Company, for the purpose of developing the Oleniy Ruchey apatite-nepheline ore deposit and further implementing the project to create a phosphate raw material base in Murmansk region.
NWPC is a key feedstock asset of Acron Group. It extracts ore at the Oleniy Ruchey mining and processing facility from an open pit and an underground mine to produce high-quality apatite concentrate with at least 39% P₂O₅. The Oleniy Ruchey facility provides all the phosphate inputs for the Group’s Russian companies to produce complex fertilisers, and it also ships products to third-party customers.
