Background: The Adlan district of South Yakutia is the cnetre of the good-mining industry of the autonomous republic.

Most of the gold is mined by electric drags. Each scoop of the drag has a capacity of 300 litres.

The drag is run by one man. All production processes are automatic and mechanised.

Many of the drag operators of the Adlangold combine have completed their five-year plan for mining gold ahead of schedule.
