PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Raygorodok Gold Mining and Processing Project is a large-scale development located in the Burabay District of Akmola Region, Kazakhstan. The project involves the acquisition and expansion of the Raygorodok gold and copper deposit, including both the North and South open-pit mines. A heap-leach facility was commissioned in 2016 and a carbon-in-pulp processing plant was launched in 2022. Zijin Mining Group acquired 100 percent of the companies controlling the mine and processing facilities to further develop production and optimize operations. The project aims to increase ore throughput and processing capacity while maintaining high environ... Read more

Location
Locations shown on the map are for indicative purposes and may vary from actual locations.
Other important details
The mine has two open pits ~2 km apart, and was producing ~5.5‑6 tonnes of gold annually in recent years.
The processing capacity currently ~5‑6 million tonnes per annum, with potential upgrade to 10 million tpa.
Resource base (as of June 30 2025): ~208 million tonnes at 1.0 g/t gold (≈197.4 t metal) and ore reserves ~97 M tonnes at 0.9 g/t (≈87 t metal) for the mine.
The project aligns with Kazakhstan’s industrialisation strategy, will create jobs (about 1,000 permanent and 500 temporary reported for one processing facility earlier).
The mining contract (Contract No. 486) commenced June 2000 and runs to December 31, 2040.
