In particular, Hydrometallurgical plant-7, launched in 2021, is the world's largest industrial waste processing plant. At HMP-7, on the basis of modern technologies, products are obtained from processed (technogenic) ores. The difference between the plant and other hydrometallurgical plants of NMMC is that, thanks to the technologies used here, it is possible to process and obtain products from processed ore.  The plant can process 15 million tons of industrial waste per year.

Today the length of the quarry is 4.3 km, width - 3.2 km, depth - about 650 meters. Currently, more than 42 million tons of ore are mined from the quarry per year.
