    Construction of a mining, chemical and metallurgical complex for the production of titanium-magnetite ore processing products. The complex consists of two production facilities: a mining and processing plant at the Tymlay ore field and a chemical and metallurgical plant in the Pavlodar FEZ.

    Power:

    1. Titanium dioxide – 601 thousand tons per year;
    2. Special steel-1956 thousand tons per year;
    3. Silicon dioxide – 76 thousand tons per year.

    Product:

    1. titanium dioxide, pigmented;
    2. special grades of steel;
    3. silicon dioxide;

    Sales market:

    Kazakhstan, neighboring countries

    Market prerequisites:

    Stable demand – High indicators of historical production growth and the strategic importance of further development of industries using steel and titanium dioxide as raw materials create a steady demand for the products produced within the framework of the Project.

    Import substitution and export – The lack of titanium dioxide production in the Republic of Kazakhstan, and insignificant production in the CIS, creates sales prospects. Regarding alloyed types of steels, the volume of imports over the past 5 years has averaged 828 thousand tons in the Russian Federation and 2627 thousand tons per year in the PRC. Moreover, at the moment there are preliminary contracts for the supply of special types of steels.

    Construction of an industrial complex for the production of copper cathode with a capacity of 5,000 tons per year (the “Project”).

    Product:

    cathode copper (the content of pure metal is not less than 99.99%).

    Power:

    5000 tons of copper cathode per year.

    Production process:

    mining is open-pit; processing is heap leaching, selective extraction and electrolysis.

    Potential sales markets:

    Kazakhstan, China, Russia.

    Market prerequisites:

    Large reserves of copper.

    Kazakhstan ranks 6th in the world in terms of copper reserves with a share of 4.7% of world reserves (36.6 million tons).

    High demand.

    It is expected that the stable growth in demand for refined copper will continue in the coming years, since copper is the most important resource for the modern technological society. Demand for refined copper is projected to grow by 2.99% in 2018 and by 2.15% in 2019.

    Price growth.

    World prices for refined copper are showing an upward trend due to an increase in demand for this product as a result of the stabilization of the world economy. According to forecasts, a moderate increase in copper prices is expected: in 2020 − 6997 US dollars, in 2021-7250 US dollars per ton.

    Export potential.

    The shortage of products “plates, sheets and strips or strips of copper” indicates the presence of potential for import substitution. Kazakhstan also has the opportunity to increase exports to China and other countries.

    Extraction and processing of rare metal ores from the Yuzhny Zhaur deposit in the Karaganda region (the “Project”).

    Commercial products:

    • 57% tungsten trioxide concentrate
    • 50% molybdenum concentrate

    Production process:

    • open-pit mining is
    • a sulfide-scheelite flotation, which includes grinding in one stage, sulfide flotation and scheelite flotation.

    Maximum processing capacity:

    4000 thousand tons of commercial ore per year

    Project implementation period:

    35 years old

    Market prerequisites:

    Availability of raw materials – Kazakhstan is in the first place in the world in terms of tungsten reserves (2 million tons or 63% of world reserves). The presence of significant reserves of molybdenum (160 thousand tons) on the territory of Kazakhstan opens up the potential for reviving the production of this metal in the future.

    The increase in metal prices – The lack of easily accessible financing and the low metal content in the ores of the deposits are the reasons for the limited supply of metal on the market, which in the future may serve as an incentive for further growth in prices for tungsten and molybdenum.

    Growing demand – Over the next 10 years, global demand for tungsten is projected to increase from 72,552 tons to 121,679 tons (5.3% CAGR). The development of the steel industry affects the growing demand for molybdenum. In the long term, until 2024, it is expected that the growth rate of demand for this metal will be 3.6% per year.

    extraction and processing of cobalt-nickel ores from the Shevchenkovskoye deposit

    Products

    ferronickel

    Stocks

    according to a 2005 estimate from Bateman Minerals and Metals Ltd., the reserves of the Shevchenko deposit amount to 104.4 million tons of ore containing an average of 0.79% nickel and 0.045% cobalt

    Potential sales markets

    Kazakhstan, China

    Market prerequisites:

    Rising metal prices – According to S&P Capital IQ forecasts, nickel prices will increase by 23.9% from $ 12,985 per ton in 2018 to $ 16,094 per ton in 2022. Cobalt prices will increase by 1.6% from $ 82,695 per ton in 2018 to $ 84,018 per ton in 2022.

    Growing demand for metal – The development of industries (production of electronic devices, medical equipment and electric vehicles) using nickel batteries will ensure long-term demand for metal. According to the WBMS, in 2017, the shortage of refined nickel on the world market amounted to about 96 thousand tons. According to Palisade and Macquarie, the demand for cobalt will grow by 5.1% annually over the next 5 years.

    Export potential – In 2015, China was a consumer of 65% of the world’s cobalt and nickel products. With the rapidly developing market of electronic devices and electric vehicles, China’s own reserves of cobalt and nickel are being depleted.

    Description of the deposit

    Proven reserves of categories C1 and C2

    Indicator Quantity, tons
    Ore 104,4 million
    Confirmed 21,4 million
    Possible 83 million
    Nickel 825 thousand (0,79%)
