Group profile
A geology-led, prudently managed gold developer in Central Asia
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Almaty. We regard mining as a long-cycle business: get the geology right, keep the costs honest, and the returns follow.
Kazakhstan Mining Group is an integrated mining company focused on gold and by-product metals, with operations across five regions of Kazakhstan. Through a combination of direct licence applications and acquisitions, the Group holds six mineral licences in the principal metallogenic belts of central, eastern and western Kazakhstan. Systematic geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys and drilling have defined gold resources of approximately 86 t at average grades of 1.9–4.6 g/t.
In development, the Group owns two processing plants with a combined annual throughput of 1.8 Mt, running a gravity–flotation–cyanidation flowsheet that holds gold recovery consistently above 93.5%. Doré produced on site is refined through accredited channels and sold into the spot and term contract markets. Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves for every project are reported under international reporting standards, while feasibility studies, environmental and social impact assessments and closure and reclamation plans advance in parallel, so that each investment decision rests on verifiable geological and engineering data.

Business lines
Five business lines, one complete value chain
Exploration sets the ceiling on the resource base; mining and processing determine cost and recovery; trading and investment realise the value and fund the next round of resource acquisition. The five lines interlock to form the Group's core capability.

Projects
Six licences across Kazakhstan's principal metallogenic belts
The licences sit in areas with proven metallogenic settings and access to power and roads: two are in production, two are in development and advanced feasibility work, and two are under systematic exploration, forming a staged pipeline that sustains resource replacement.

Sustainability
Making safety, environment and community performance verifiable, day by day
A social licence to operate is earned through sustained performance, not one-off commitments. The Group discloses its key indicators in an annual report and remains accountable to partners, regulators and neighbouring communities.

Local employment rate
Safety and occupational health
Permit-to-work controls and safety training for every employee keep the recordable injury rate consistently below the industry average.
Environment
Filtered dry stacking of tailings, water recycling and progressive reclamation mean rehabilitation advances alongside mining.
Communities and people
Local residents are hired first, supported by vocational training and investment in community infrastructure.
Governance and compliance
Compliant operations and transparent disclosure, underpinned by anti-bribery controls and supply chain due diligence.
Leadership team
Practitioners from geology, mining and international trade
The management team has long frontline experience in the Central Asian and Chinese mining markets, spanning exploration, mine construction, processing technology, HSE and cross-border trade.
Mining is a long-cycle business. Get the geology right, keep the costs honest, keep faith with communities and regulators, and leave the rest to time.
