The company was formerly known as Mittal Steel Temirtau JSC and changed its name to JSC ArcelorMittal Temirtau in September 2007. The company was founded in 1960 and is based in Temirtau, Kazakhstan. JSC ArcelorMittal Temirtau operates as a subsidiary of Arcelor Mittal.
Summary:
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.
Summary:
Lisakovsk is an open pit operation located in northwest Kazakhstan about 1,100 kilometers from Temirtau, with production of 0.9 million tonnes of concentrate in 2015.
