been launched in Kazakhstan, featuring an interactive map and access to over
50,000 geological reports. The country has also streamlined business processes
for obtaining licenses for exploration and extraction activities. Additionally,

budget has been enshrined. Helen Clark commended Kazakhstan’s efforts and
shared the organization’s strategic plans and key priorities for the upcoming
