Lisakovsk is an open pit operation. The mine was acquired by ArcelorMittal and treats oolite iron ore to produce concentrate, which is supplied to ArcelorMittal Temirtau steel plant. The phosphorous content in the iron mineralization at Lisakovsk limits its utilization in the steelmaking process. |

Summary:
The Lisakovsk deposit is located within the western side of the Turgai trough, in the Eltaisko-Kurzhunkul ore region. It was formed by sedimentation processes and the filling of the Lisakovskaya river valley. It is a shallow sheet-like deposit, elongated along strike for 100 kilometers with a width that varies from several hundred meters to 6 kilometers. The iron mineralization at Lisakovsk occurs as an oolite deposit containing mainly hydro-goethite and goethite. The deposit has relatively high phosphorous content which can limit its utilization in the steel-making process.
The iron ore deposit at Lisakovsk, North Kazakhstan, is a limonitic one of oolitic type and the major iron minerals are goethite and about 0.5 % magnetite. The gangue minerals are predominantly quartz and clay like minerals such as carbonates, chlorite and other aluminosilicates as reported in a comparative study by Kosava et all. The phosphorus content in the iron concentrate is about 0.6 – 0.8 % and the studies has shown that it is not represented as separable from iron minerals species.
The iron mineralization at Lisakovsk occurs as oolite containing mainly hygogoethite and goethite. The phosphorous content in the mineralization limits its utilization in the steel-making process.
The main ore mineral is hydrogelite, nonmetallic is quartz. According to texture-structural genetic
characteristics and physical properties, oolithic ores are divided into two types: loose ........
Summary:
Lisakovsk (or Lisakovsky) is a production stage open pit mine located in northwest Kazakhstan.
Ore is excavated at the mine by traditional truck and shovel methods before being transported by rail to the processing facility located at the site.
Lisakovskiy ore lies at a shallow depth, extraction requires stripping 5-15 m. Mining is conducted
without the production of explosions by excavators. The ore mainly consists of oolithes of 0.2-0.6 mm in size bound by clayey constituents.
In the ore base of Lisakovskiy MPP there are 4 groups of deposits: Main, South, Steppe and East. The main reserves (75%) are concentrated in the Main Deposit, which is being processed.
The existing mining license was extended through a new subsoil use agreement granted in 2020 for 25 years and is due to expire in 2044.
