VLADIVOSTOK, September 11. /TASS/. Rusolovo (part of Polymetallic Holding Seligdar) plans to export around 40% of its products to China by the end of this year, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Seligdar Alexander Khrushch told TASS on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).

"As of today, the share of exports stands at around 40%," he said, adding that by the end of the year tin exports will remain at the level of 40%. The company exports tin concentrate to China, Khrushch noted.
