Project Description
The Sarykum project involves the development of an anthracite coal deposit in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan, near Lake Balkhash. The project aims to exploit high-quality anthracite, which is rare in Kazakhstan, suitable for use in metallurgical processes, electrodes, absorbents, and electrocorrundum production. Lower-grade coal will supply local residential and municipal energy needs. Total geological reserves are estimated at 170.63 million tonnes, while the current development phase plans to extract 20.01 million tonnes. The project is distinctive for employing an open-pit mining method, unusual for anthracite, which is typically mined underground. Coal processing will be required due to an average ash content exceeding 42%. Production is expected to gradually increase from 10,000 tonnes/year at start-up to 1 million tonnes/year by 2035, maintaining this level until 2048 before declining. The project could provide one of the few domestic sources of anthracite in Kazakhstan.
