A ceremony was held at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University) to award diplomas to the first graduates of the network master's program in "Mining Geology".

This program, conducted in English, trained qualified specialists for the mining industry. Among the graduates were six students from the United Republic of Tanzania, as well as a graduate from the Republic of Namibia, who completed the program at NUST "MISIS" and also participated in the celebration.

In addition to their official academic diplomas, each graduate received a commemorative certificate from JSC Uranium One Group, an international company within the Sales and Trading Division of Rosatom, which develops uranium mining projects in Tanzania and Namibia.

The graduates completed a two-week internship at JSC Dalur, a Rosatom Mining Division enterprise located in the Dalmatovsky Municipal District of the Kurgan Region. There, they gained practical experience with uranium mining technology, specifically the In-Situ Recovery (ISR) method. This technique is especially effective for extracting deposits in permeable rock formations common to the African continent, such as sandstones.

Addressing the graduates, Kirill Egorov-Kirillov, Director of Mining Projects at JSC Uranium One Group, said: "These diplomas confirm your knowledge, perseverance, and ability to solve complex engineering problems. You are now entering an exciting profession that requires courage, foresight, and a strong sense of responsibility. I am confident that your experience and acquired skills will make a significant contribution to the development of the mining industry in your countries."
