Session 3

Unlocking Kazakhstan's Mineral Potential with advanced technologies and investment solutions

The mining and processing industries in Kazakhstan are facing the challenge of depletion of reserves due to intensive mining. With only a small portion of the ores and metals mined in Kazakhstan being processed, diversifying production is essential for long-term economic and social progress. The combination of foreign investment and advanced technology will play a significant role in this success. In 2023, 149 investment projects are planned to be put in place, with the most notable projects focusing on the modernisation of mining production and the implementation of integrated socio-economic development programs in mining cities and regions. 

  • Experience and strategies of large mining companies in the development of economically valuable reserves of metals and minerals.
  • New requirements for the provision of raw materials to processing industries in Kazakhstan.
  • Improving the efficiency of geological study of the subsoil and replenishing the mineral resource base.
  • Prospects for the development of junior mining projects to enhance the reproduction of mineral resources.
  • Current practices of financing junior projects.
