During a recent working trip to the Issyk-Kul region, Akylbek Japarov, the Prime Minister and Head of the Administration of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, visited the operations of the closed joint-stock company “Kumtor Gold Company.” The Prime Minister toured the plant’s machinery workshop, where he inspected the assembly of new excavators and refueling stations. Currently, the mine utilizes over 800 various types of transportation vehicles, machinery, and equipment. Japarov also visited Kumtor’s main quarry, where a project for underground gold mining has been underway since February of this year. According to estimates, the project aims to extract approximately 115 tons of gold. As reported by the cabinet, gold extraction from the mine’s ore waste, located in the tailings facility, is planned to commence from 2026. Preliminary calculations suggest an additional yield of 120 tons of gold through this initiative.
