The project comprises of an open-pit mine and an on-site concentrator to produce copper cathode from oxide ore and copper concentrate from the sulphide ore. Molybdenum is also being produced as a by-product.
Approval for the copper project was issued by the board of Kaakhmys in December 2012 and construction works began in 2013. The Aktogay mining operation began oxide copper cathode production in December 2015, and sulphide copper concentrate production in February 2017.
Commercial production from the Aktogay sulphide concentrator was achieved in October 2017. The 2bn copper project is anticipated to have a mine life of 28 years.
A 1.2bn expansion project was approved for the mine in December 2017 to double sulphide ore processing capacity from 25Mt to 50Mt. The expansion project is anticipated to commence production in the second half of 2021 and will increase copper production from sulphide ore to 170,000t between 2022 and 2027 and to 130,000t thereafter.
Kaakhstan also has a rich endowment of petroleum products and is a leading oil and gas producer. The government of Kaakhstan appreciates the importance of the mining industry to the country and when President Naarbayev unveiled the 100 steps national plan there were key reforms for the mining industry, notably steps 74 and 75. 74.
The Aktogay copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit lies on the southern border of East Kaakhstan Oblast along the west-northwest-striking Aktogai fault one. The ore body consists of a copper oxide deposit sitting atop a larger sulphide deposit that also contains molybdenum.
Copper is mostly contained in the form of chalcopyrite and mineralisation occurs in quart-carbonate filled stockwork fractures. Mineralisation is present in the form of a compact body within the rocks of the first intrusive phase and the volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks of the Keregetas Formation.
Approximately 70 of the mineralisation is hosted by intrusive rocks, mainly diorites and granodiorites, and the remaining by the volcanogenic-sedimentary rocks of the Keregetas Formation.
Ferrous metallurgy industry is an important component in Kaakhstanrsquos industrial system. Currently, Kaakhstan has 47 iron ore mines over the country. And there were more than 9.1 billion tons of iron ore reserves have been proven reserves.The iron ore reserve ranks No. 6 in the world. Kaakh iron ore belongs to bonana. The iron ore content about 65. Kaakhstan geologists predict that its prospective reserves of 150 million tons, of which about 60 are high-grade ore and easy beneficiation ore.
Aug 20, 2015nbsp018332Copper Heap Leaching Solvent Extraction-Electrowinning SX-EW In 2014, more than 50 major HL-SX-EW operations worldwide recovered approx. 3 million tonnes of copper, which represents roughly.
Kaakhstan has a long history of mining from Catherine the Greats times through to the present. Kaakhstan remains one of the worlds major producers of natural resources and is one of the ten leading countries in the world for mineral reserves. It is the worlds leading uranium producer, and the third largest chrome producer.
In 2013, the production of iron ore in Kaakhstan decreased to 51.759 million tons, which is 1.6 less than in 2012. Production of copper ore was 41.732 million tons up by 7.3, copper and inc - 4.910 million tons up by 1.7, lead and inc - 7.256 million tons down by 5.8.
The mining industry in Kaakhstan is mainly focused on exporting their products. The main importers are Russia, China and the EU.
Due to price increases for non-ferrous metals, gold, uranium and the growing demand for coal from 2000-2007, Kaakhstan8217s mining industry rapidly developed. With the global economic crisis from 2008-2010, however, prices decreased for non-ferrous metals and coal demand dropped. Consequently, local mining companies decreased capital expenditures and production, although 2012 saw a small increase.
Still, Kaakhstan remains an attractive market for U.S. mining equipmentmachinery suppliers, particularly for manufacturers of bulldoers, drilling equipment, explosives, trucks, drill rigs, trams, cranes, crushing and pulveriing machinery, dredges, hydraulic excavators, quarrying machinery and equipment, elevators, compressors, hammer mills, special trucks, etc.
Dec 29, 2014nbsp018332Boshakol copper mine, which is being developed by Kaakhmys, is the largest single copper mine development in Kaakhstan in terms of volume and value, and is one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits in the world. Approval for the project was granted in August 2011 and main construction activities began in 2012. Pre-production mining is.

Sep 09, 2013nbsp018332Kaakhstans mining industry value is set to soar in the next four years, reaching US29.5 billion by 2017, slightly down from previous forecasts.
Kaakhstan has abundant fossil fuel reserves and vast deposits of minerals and metals including uranium, inc, and, copper. The countrys economy relies heavily on its oil and mining industries. Almost 89 of Kaakhstans exports are attributed to mineral commodities.
Boshakol copper mine, which is being developed by Kaakhmys, is the largest single copper mine development in Kaakhstan in terms of volume and value, and is one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits in the world.
Kaakhstans mining industry is set to grow in value, reaching 30 billion by 2017 already taking the declining commod-ity prices into account. Coal, copper and gold are expected to be the main drivers of Mining and processing facilities at Kaphosphates deposit in.
Kaakhstan, the ninth-largest country in the world and the biggest landlocked nation, ranks poorly on the Transparency International Corruption Index, and well below top mining countries.
Kaakhstan Iron Mining. In 2008, Kaakhstan iron ore production was 21.42 million tons. The main origins of iron ore are in Karaganda and Kostanay state. It isa ferromanganese associated mine, the ore reserves of 500 million tons. In addition, there have rich hematite can be developedin eastern Kaakhstan.
