Mining Methods

  • Truck & Shovel / Loader


Summary:

Aktogay is a large scale, open pit mine with a remaining mine life of around 25 years (including the expansion project) at an average copper grade of 0.35% (oxide) and 0.33% (sulphide).

Summary:

The Aktogay open pit, sulphide concentrator and oxide plant located in the east of Kazakhstan. The sulphide concentrator was commissioned in the final quarter of 2016. The smaller oxide plant was commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2015 and produces copper cathode. The oxide plant is included in the Aktogay operating segment due to the sharing of infrastructure, its relatively small size and to reflect the Group’s management structure. An expansion of the sulphide processing facilities at Aktogay was announced in December 2017, which is expected to double its sulphide ore processing capacity by the end of 2021.
