1. Production of mineral wool boards made of rock wool Project proponent: Korund Ltd Kondopoga, the Republic of Karelia 2009г.

2. Anti-recessionary program • 1. Strategy of social solidarity became a discussion topic in one of working groups in the 4th Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum; the idea is that “the population should feel its involvement into solving anti-recessionary tasks”. • 2. The similar idea was voiced by the vice prime-minister Alexandr Zhukov in conclusions of brainstorming. He said: “The whole country can not be a stadium watching what the Government is going to do in the crisis. We can overcome the crisis, if everyone, if we together undertake drastic measures”.

4. BASALT – TECHNOLOGY OF THE PRESENT DAY • Basalt goods endurance is 15 times higher than of steel ones; • Densityand, consequently, weight is 4 times less; • Warranty on pipes, fitting and other basalt goods is 50 years and more, as they do not rust; and vagabond electron currents do not take place in them; • They are nonreactive to acid and alkaline conditions • They do not deposit crust and fall-out in pipes and boilers; • They can “breath”, so they soak temperature from -200 up to +2000 C; • Basalt casting soaks t=10000 C; • Basalt barrel stands instead of 600 shots up to 6500 shots; • Advantages of basalt and its products by its characteristics over many other materials are endless!
