In 1989, the work of the plant stopped and was resumed only in 2000. In May 2004, the American company Comsup Commodities bought a 100% stake in a closed joint stock company for $600,000. In accordance with the agreement, the buyer undertook to invest $3.5 million in the enterprise within two years from the date of privatization. The funds were to be used for technological modernization and an increase in ore production. In the first half of 2004, the plant produced products worth 3.983 billion drams (+11.9% against the previous year). Export for this period increased by 8.5% and amounted to 1.771 billion drams. Currently, the plant provides jobs for about 1,000 people, that is, a fifth of the entire population of the city.
