Kazakhstan will launch several
enterprises for the extraction of minerals. For example, a plant for extracting
600,000 tonnes of ore and producing 5,500 tonnes of copper cathode a year will
begin to operate at the Berkara deposit in the Abai region by the end of 2023. There
are also plans to set up a coal desorption and electrolysis facility for the
metallurgical plant at the region’s Suzdal deposit. In addition, a large gas
mine will be commissioned at the Rozhkovskoye field in the West Kazakhstan
region by the end of this year. The potential production output is up to one
billion cubic meters of gas per year. The raw material will be supplied to a
gas processing plant whereafter the received volumes will be delivered to the
domestic market.
