Russia’s 2018 gold production expected to rise 3%
Russia’s gold production in 2018 is expected to rise by 3% to 328 t on higher output from mines, producers’ lobby Gold Industrialists’ Union said on Tuesday.

Its 2017 output rose 7% to 317.7 t, also led by higher output from mines, Sergei Kashuba, head of the Gold Industrialists’ Union, told a conference.
