Amur Minerals Corp., a copper and nickel explorer in Russia’s Far East, plans to fly equipment to its Siberian operation by zeppelin to bypass snow-clogged roads.
Amur will use two airships from Worldwide Aeros Corp. to carry loads of as much as 250 metric tons, the company said today in a statement after signing a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. manufacturer. The aircraft will also be used to transport production from the mine.
