• ... that the Sentachan mine in Russia was accessible only by ice road (for three months of the year) or by helicopter?

• Source: "In Russia, GeoProMining announced just a few weeks ago that it had opened its winter road connecting the company's Sentachan goid-antimony mine in Yakutia with a main highway. But, according to the company, this winter has been relatively mild and weather conditions have shifted often and rapidly, adding complications to the process of constructing the road. With northern parts of Russia historically experiencing temperatures below -67°F (-55°C), the road typically goes into service from February until April, meandering along the frozen beds of the Eigi and Adycha rivers. It is the only ground-based transportation access to the mine, located 700 km from the nearest town; the rest of the year the mine can be reached only by helicopter. The road

is used to transport ore and to supply the mine with diesel fuel and other materials necessary for the next production season." from page 139 of : "Logistical Solutions for Remote Sites: Meeting the Need for Access, Comfort and Convenience". Engineering & Mining Journal: 138–141. April 2013.

• • ALT1: ... that Sentachan mine extracted gold as an incidental product? Source: "Sentachan deposit is characterized by geological conditions of ore localization similar to Sarylakh, and also belongs to the largest deposits. Due to this, republic of Sakha is the main supplier of antimony for Russia and countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States for more than 25 years. A significant amount of gold has been incidentally extracted at these deposits." from page 769 of Krenev, V.; Dergacheva, N.; Fomichev, S. (September 2015).

• New enough, long enough, no article concerns. All ALTs appear in the article and cited: ALT0 is AGF, ALT1 and 2 were verified. QPQ is complete. Hooks are interesting: my order of preference is ALT0>ALT2>ALT1. This is g2g. Z1720 (talk) 23:57, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
