Production Performance Alrosa expects to produce 29.7 million carats in 2025, meeting its annual mining plan despite the prolonged global diamond market downturn. The Russian miner retains its position as the world’s largest diamond producer, representing approximately one-third of global output.

Financial Resilience Director General Pavel Marinychev emphasized the company’s financial stability and continued profitability while competitors face pressure from weak demand and sanctions. This positions Alrosa as an outlier in a struggling sector.

Infrastructure Development The company advanced critical projects including gasification of the Udachninsky GOK and Nakynskaya production site while maintaining social commitments in Yakutia, according to regional Head Aisen Nikolaev.

Resource Expansion Geological exploration during 2025 increased reserves at major deposits, refined resources in the Mirny area, and strengthened prospects in placer and greenfield zones. These efforts are designed to sustain operations for 25-30 years.

Long-Term Strategy Alrosa is investing heavily in underground mining to extend deposit lifespans. The Udachnaya underground project targets production through 2055, while development continues on the Mir-Deep underground mine and Jubilee pipe.

Bottom Line: Alrosa demonstrated operational consistency in a difficult year, balancing immediate production goals with long-term capacity building through infrastructure investment and resource base expansion.
