KAZ Minerals is a pure-play copper company focused on open pit mining in Kazakhstan. In 2016 we completed the construction of our major growth projects at Bozshakol and Aktogay, delivering on our promise to transform the Group into a high growth, low cost producer.
‘‘KAZ Minerals has successfully ramped up production at the new Bozshakol and Aktogay mines to date, resulting in an 80% increase in copper output and 40% higher gold production.’’
KAZ Minerals operates the Bozshakol and Aktogay open pit copper mines in Pavlodar and the East Region of Kazakhstan, three underground mines in the East Region
of Kazakhstan and the Bozymchak copper-gold mine in Kyrgyzstan.
The location of the Group’s assets in Kazakhstan gives access to power, water, an established rail transport network and a skilled workforce.
Bozshakol and Aktogay also benefit from low strip ratios of 0.7 and 0.2 respectively and efficient labour, with only 1,500 employees required at each site.
Copper is essential for all modern infrastructure, energy generation and transmission, transportation, communications, industrial machinery and electrical appliances. As a pure-play copper producer with a portfolio of low cost, long life assets and a track record of delivering world class copper projects, KAZ Minerals is well positioned to take advantage of continued growth in the demand for copper. We are delivering the future, today.
