New Hope for the Mining Industry in Kazakhstan——Production of precious and non-ferrous metals increased in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is one of the world’s leading producers of precious metals and has significant reserves of copper, zinc, and other non-ferrous metals.

The production of precious and non-ferrous metals in Kazakhstan increased by 5.5%, Liter.kz reports with reference to the Bureau of National Statistics.

The volume of production of the metallurgical industry in Kazakhstan for 12 months of 2022 amounted to nine billion tenge, which is 1.9% more than in 2021.

Of these, 5.8 billion tenge are precious and non-ferrous metals, which is 5.5% more than in the same period in 2021.

The volume of production of ferrous metallurgy (except for casting) amounted to 3.1 billion tenge, which is 3.2% less.

Recall that in 2022, 91 metallurgical enterprises operated in Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan is one of the world’s leading producers of uranium, copper, and zinc, and also has significant reserves of gold, silver, and other precious metals. The country’s mining industry plays a crucial role in its economy, accounting for around 20% of its GDP and employing over 200,000 people.

As one of our main export countries, Kazakhstan has many high-quality mines. The underground mining equipment（underground mining scooptram , underground mining truck ,various underground mining service vehicles and rock splitters） and mineral processing equipment we produce are very suitable for mining in Kazakhstan.

Our underground mining scooptram and underground mining truck are designed to operate in harsh environments and can easily handle heavy loads. These vehicles are equipped with advanced safety features to ensure the safety of the operators and other workers in the mine.

In addition, our various underground mining service vehicles are designed to provide support and maintenance services to the mining equipment. These vehicles include fuel and lubrication trucks, water trucks, and maintenance trucks.

We also offer rock splitters that are used to break large rocks into smaller pieces. These machines are essential for mining operations as they help to increase efficiency and reduce manual labor.

Our mineral processing equipment is designed to extract valuable minerals from the ore. We offer a range of equipment including crushers, screens, and separators that are designed to process various types of ore.

All our equipment is built to meet international standards and is backed by our excellent after-sales service. We have a team of experienced engineers and technicians who can provide on-site training and support to ensure that our customers get the best performance from our equipment.

In conclusion, our underground mining equipment and mineral processing equipment are well-suited for mining in Kazakhstan. We are committed to providing high-quality equipment and excellent service to our customers in Kazakhstan and around the world.

Economic situation in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia and contains a large amount of natural resources. Therefore, Kazakhstan’s economy is dominated by oil, natural gas, mining, and coal. Its natural resources are abundant. Currently, the total proven oil reserves in Kazakhstan are 10 billion tons, coal reserves are 3.94 billion tons, natural gas reserves are 1.8 trillion cubic meters, and manganese reserves are 400 million tons. Due to the influence of the former Soviet Union, Kazakhstan had to pursue a market economy and privatization after independence.

Kazakhstan’s economy is dominated by oil, mining, coal, and agriculture and animal husbandry. In 2020, Kazakhstan’s GDP was 169.837 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 2.6%, industrial output value was 45.93 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 0.7%, and agricultural output value was 15.191 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 5.6%.
