Sunrise Mining is planning to develop the Udar chrome ore deposit. The region of presence is the Kargaly district of the Aktobe region. The subsoil user published project documentation on the Unified Environmental Portal of Kazakhstan.
The site belongs to the chromite-bearing Kempirsay massif. They will master “Udar” in an open way. Preparatory work at the quarry will begin in 2024. It is estimated that the subsoil contains over 491 thousand tons of chrome ores and about 172 tons of chromium with an average metal content in the ores of 34.9%.
It is planned to complete “Udar” in four years. If the project receives approval from environmentalists and the public, the subsoil user will begin work in 2025. The annual capacity of the enterprise will be about 100 thousand tons of ore.
Sunrise Mining’s mine plan states that the deposit is located in an area with developed infrastructure. The closest to the mining site are the operating mining enterprise Voskhod-Oriel (developing the Vostok chrome ore deposit) and the Voskhod Chrome concentration plant. Most likely, the ore from Udar will be sent there for processing.
Previously, we wrote about the plans of the subsoil user Sunrise Mining to begin development of the Karaobinskoye nickel-cobalt deposit (the same region of presence).
