PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Koksay project is a large-scale copper mining initiative located in the Zhetysu region of southeastern Kazakhstan, approximately 230 kilometers north of Almaty. It involves the development of one of Kazakhstan’s largest undeveloped copper deposits through open-pit mining. The project includes the construction of a concentrating plant designed to process up to 50 million tonnes of ore annually. The plant will produce copper concentrate and cathode copper as its primary outputs. According to geological estimates, the deposit contains approximately 823.7 million tonnes of ore, with 3.5 million tonnes of copper, 63.7 tonnes of gold, and 865 t... Read more
