Inside Russia’s Northernmost RUSAL Komi Bauxite Mine

Aluminum begins with bauxite—but few people ever see the full journey from raw ore to finished metal. In this video, join Evgeny Rakin on a trip to the Komi Republic, home to RUSAL’s northernmost bauxite mining operation. The Verkhne-Vorykvinskoye deposit holds over one hundred twenty-three million tons of recoverable bauxite, making it a strategically vital resource for Russia’s aluminum industry. You’ll see everything that defines large-scale mining: open pits, massive haul trucks, controlled blasting, rail transport, and—most importantly—the people whose daily work makes aluminum production possible. This is a rare inside look at how bauxite is добывается in extreme northern conditions and how the first step of the aluminum production cycle really works. 🗺 Location 📍Komi Republic, Russia 📌Verkhne-Vorykvinskoye Bauxite Deposit #RUSAL #BauxiteMining #AluminumProduction #MiningIndustry #IndustrialRussia #RawMaterials #OpenPitMining #ArcticIndustry Be a Member for exclusive privileges - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCviEFTf1xIPKsjmyF_zvFug/join Twitter : https://x.com/AltitudeAddicts Website: https://www.altitudeaddicts.com
