Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Industry and Construction has announced an upcoming electronic auction for 39 solid mineral deposits, scheduled for September 19, according to Kazinform. The auction will be conducted through the country’s unified digital platform, which currently provides 22 public services in geology and subsoil use.
Applications for participation will be accepted until September 2, giving prospective investors and companies time to assess the geological potential and prepare bids.
Among the listed sites are around ten deposits rich in precious metals, including Chandy-Bulak, Sever-Leonidovskoye, Senym, and alluvial gold at Chandy-Bulak. The auction also features high-potential areas for polymetallic, manganese, iron ore, and coal exploration.
In parallel with the auction, the ministry plans to roll out an AI-powered system to process geological reports and build a comprehensive geological knowledge base by the end of the year. This marks a digital transformation push aimed at increasing efficiency and transparency in Kazakhstan’s subsoil sector.
