The Kumtor deposit is located at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters above sea level. Mining here requires the use of special technologies due to the harsh climate, permafrost, and complex mountainous terrain.
Gold of Kumtor
One of the highest‑altitude gold deposits in the world, located at an elevation of more than 4 km.
The Zholymbet deposit is one of the key lead deposits in Kyrgyzstan. It is located in mountainous areas that are difficult to develop, where geological exploration and mining require special approaches.
Zholymbet Lead
Lead ore deposits in hard‑to‑reach areas of the Tien Shan.
Glaciers and mountain rivers in Kyrgyzstan have been eroding the bedrock for millions of years and carrying valuable minerals down the slopes. This natural concentration process has created unique placer deposits that are promising for exploration.
Glacial placers
Millions of years of erosion have created rich mineral deposits in the mountain valleys.
THE MINERAL WEALTH OF KYRGYZSTAN
A land of high mountains, where the glaciers of the Tien-Shan have been forming unique mineral deposits for millions of years
The grand opening of the project in Bishkek
Trains geologists and develops cooperation with Russian companies for production modernization and scientific research.
