Valunistoe (airport)

It is located exactly in the area of the “Valunistoe” gold-silver deposit (Валунистое месторождение), operated by the company ООО «Rudnik Valunisty».

In Russian documents, it is referred to as a «взлётно-посадочная площадка на месторождении», meaning a takeoff-and-landing strip at the mining site, not an actual airport.

Agencies such as TASS regularly mention flights “Anadyr – Rudnik Valunisty”, meaning there is (or was) a regular or charter connection from Anadyr directly to the “Rudnik Valunisty” mining site, but it is always described as a mine destination, not as a certified airport.
