1945
Geological expedition led by Boris Orlov carried out prospecting and survey works in the upper reaches of the Baksan River and discovered a bed-rock outlet of the molybdenum deposit on one of the Ullu-Tyrnyauz-Tau ridge slopes
First phase of the processing plant launched
Ore mining started
The plant is fully recovered after the World War II, operations resumed
1968-
1999
1999
Combined open-pit and underground mining operations in progress
