Zaporizhzhia Iron Ore Plant (ZZHRK) mines iron ore using the underground method at the depth of 301– 1,140 meters. Iron ore is mined at Pivdenno-Bilozerske (reserves – 188.1 million tons) and Pereverzivske (reserves – 393.9 million tons) deposits.
ZZHRK produces sinter iron ore. The company sells 50% of its output in the Ukrainian market. The rest is exported to Europe.
ZZHRK is the only Ukrainian company dealing with filling of voids after mining. The works are performed by a special equipment complex, with the annual capacity of around 1.5 million cubic meters. Crushed stone obtained from the waste rock is used to fill the voids.
