PJSC Pokrovsky Mining and Processing Plant (PGOK, formerly Ordzhonikidze GOK, Dnipropetrovsk region) in 2026 plans to increase the production of manganese concentrate by 3.44 times compared to the previous year – up to 220 thousand tons.
According to the interim report of PGOC for the fourth quarter of 2025, in 2025 the plant produced 63.9 thousand tons of manganese concentrate for UAH 342.138 million, sold 25.4 thousand tons for UAH 216.309 million.
At the same time, it is specified that PGOK is considering the possibility of selling products not only to regular consumers of JSC "ZZF" and JSC "NZF", but also for export in order to improve the financial condition of the enterprise (Switzerland, Georgia).
It is also noted that from March 2026, the company plans to launch the Chkalovsky quarry No. 2, where rotary complexes No. 9 and No. 2, walking excavators for ore extraction, will operate, and from April this year, the Northern Quarry, where rotary complex No. 4, walking excavators for ore extraction, will operate.
"The plant plans to produce 220,000 tons of concentrate from ore mined at Chkalovsky No. 2 and Severny quarries. The company is considering the possibility of introducing new technologies in the extraction of manganese ore," the report says.
It is also stated that the company is currently in a state of downtime. Its main clients are JSC "NZF" and JSC "ZFZ". The main sales market is the domestic market. At the same time, the products were sold under direct contracts with the recipient.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, production dynamics continued to slow down in the mining and metallurgical industry of Ukraine. Due to the pressure of a number of negative factors, in particular, rising electricity tariffs, logistical costs, lack of qualified personnel due to mobilization, etc., the Ukrainian industry is losing competitiveness in both domestic and foreign markets, the report says. It is noted that unjustified tariff increases by state monopolies in the rail and electricity markets, and the risk of maritime transportation due to prolonged Russian aggression affect the production plans and capabilities of domestic companies, threatening to lose export and tax revenues from heavy industry and thousands of jobs, mainly in frontline regions.
The average number of full–time employees in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 1,451, freelance – 9 people, four people worked part-time, 9 people worked part-time (day, week). The amount of the wage fund in the last quarter of 2025 amounted to 57 million 625.2 thousand UAH.
