Private company Success Minerals Kazakhstan Ltd plans to carry out a resource assessment of solid minerals at a 9.35 sq km site in Kazakhstan’s Aktogay district, according to a planned activity notice published on the country’s Unified Environmental Portal.
The subsoil user intends to evaluate reserves and resources at the Akkuduk East and Akkuduk West deposits, as well as conduct geological exploration at known mineralisation points, geophysical anomalies, and ore occurrences identified within the licence area. The work is aimed at defining targets suitable for potential industrial development. Detailed prospecting across halo fields is also planned.
Exploration activities are scheduled to begin in spring or early summer 2026 and continue through the end of 2030. The programme includes geophysical surveys, trenching over an area of 10,800 sq m, and the drilling of 140 exploration boreholes with a combined length of 35,000 metres. Collected samples will undergo laboratory testing, including chemical and geological analyses with a focus on copper content.
As a result of the exploration campaign, the company plans to prepare geological maps of the deposits and ore occurrences, delineate ore zones and ore bodies, and calculate reserves and resources within the licensed area.
The exploration licence was granted to Success Minerals Kazakhstan Ltd in January 2025. According to data from Kazakhstan’s eGov system cited by qazba.kz, the company is registered at the Astana International Financial Centre and is owned by Jinyu Sheng.
