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 environmental and safety standards. Advanced technologies are applied to minimize emissions and waste, and land reclamation measures include slope reduction, soil restoration, and creation of new green areas. The mine contains significant gold and copper resources with long-term reserves, providing stable production for decades. Infrastructure is already in place, including roads, power, and water supply, which supports rapid project development. The expansion will create significant employment opportunities for local communities, including both direct and indirect jobs. The project contributes to Kazakhstan's industrial development strategy and strengthens local economic growth. Environmental management plans align with international best practices and sustainable mining principles. The project also includes modernization of processing equipment to improve recovery rates and efficiency. Collaboration with regional authorities ensures administrative support and alignment with regional development plans. The overall investment includes construction of new facilities and upgrading existing infrastructure. The Raygorodok project positions Kazakhstan as a strategic player in global gold and copper markets. It also fosters international collaboration between Kazakhstan and China in the mining sector.

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.
