Highway
The North-South highway passes through the village, connecting the northern part of the NKR from Mardakert through Drmbon to Stepanakert and the southern part of the NKR through the Red Bazaar to Hadrut [5] .
The main line Drmbon - Kelbajar - Vardenis passes near Dadivank - a monastery complex of the 9th century. Drmbon - Kelbajar - Vardenis is an alternative road connecting NKR with Armenia . The only highway on which the residents of the NKR can now get into Armenia and further to the outside world is the 100-kilometer Goris - Stepanakert road. Road serpentine passing through the mountain passes, repaired in 1996 at the expense of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. In winter, the section of the Goris - Sisian road becomes impassable and a lot of cars accumulate on the road. In this case, the NKR is cut off from the outside world.
The Stepanakert - Drmbon highway is also being repaired at the expense of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund within the North-South project. The project was launched in 2000 and provides for the repair of a 169-kilometer road passing through Stepanakert and connecting all regions with each other [6] .
Mining and Processing Plant
Drmbon Mining and Processing Plant operates in Nagorno-Karabakh since the fall of 2003. The average monthly productivity of the enterprise is 16-18 thousand tons of ore. The concentrate containing gold and copper , obtained as a result of ore processing, is subjected to smelting at the Alaverdi metallurgical plant in Armenia . Thanks to the new equipment, the Drmbon Mining and Processing Plant today received the possibility of monthly processing of up to 30 thousand tons of ore. The company employs over 1,100 people (including 40 residents of Drmbon), whose average salary is 176 thousand drams. The volume of annual production is about 10-11 million dollars. In parallel with the production activities, active exploration work is underway. The administration of the company plans to complete the study of one or two new fields during the year and begin their exploitation. The most promising is the deposit in the nearby village of Mehmana [7] . The capacity of the processing plant is 450,000 tons per year with the release of copper concentrate. In 2008, it was planned to modernize the flotation department of PF equipment. In May 2008, the first stage of work was completed: installation of the five-chamber pneumatic mechanical flotation machine RIF-25, contact tanks CH-25 with a capacity of 25 m³, hydrocyclones, automatic modern dispensers UDR - RIF, automatic control of the pulp level and air flow ASSUP-RV in the chambers flotation machines RIF [8] .
