Minles Khakassia did not accept the restored land from gold miners

In Khakassia, the first meeting on the acceptance of land reclaimed after gold mining was held. Recall that the legislation was amended. In addition, the order of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia from 27.07.2026 No. 407 came into force. The meeting was also attended by representatives of the tenant company (siberia gold mining company) and employees of Rosprirodnadzor.

The main issue was the restoration of the land in Shirinsky district. The company leased a plot in the Tuim forest for mining.

“The Commission, having considered the submitted documentation on land reclamation, with a trip to nature, identified a number of shortcomings and at the moment made a negative decision,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic said.

The ministry noted that the “environmental aspect is fundamental here”: it is possible to confirm that the land has indeed been returned to a safe state for the environment only if there is a full package of documents, including the conclusion of an environmental assessment. The company is obliged to restore the site even after the license is canceled.

The head of the Ministry of Mines of the Republic Oleg Matvienko proposed to send all tenants-subsoil users a clear list of required documents and a step-by-step procedure for the future restoration of lands was strictly within the framework of the law. The commission will also prepare a protocol to eliminate the detected violations by the gold mining company.
