On April 16, we reached a historic milestone for DPM Krumovgrad. We successfully carried out the final production blast at the Ada Tepe mine, officially concluding our mining operations in the Ada Tepe section at the Khan Krum site.
Since its inception, Ada Tepe has represented a strategic opportunity to redefine industry standards. By integrating advanced technology with rigorous environmental and safety practices, we have successfully established a benchmark for modern, world-class mining operations.
"Thank you all for believing in us. What we did together at the Ada Tepe mine will not be forgotten." > — Iliya Garkov, Executive VP & COO of DPM Metals (speaking alongside colleagues, friends, and partners before the final blast)
"Ada Tepe is an example not only of the way we create and develop mines, but also of the way we close production - responsibly and with care for the long-term well-being of people and local communities."
— Irena Tsakova, General Manager, Ada Tepe
We are incredibly proud of what we've achieved together and remain deeply committed to leaving a positive, lasting impact in Krumovgrad.
