Group overview

A gold developer rooted in Central Asia

From regional geological mapping to the delivery of refined gold, a fully integrated value chain, a sound capital structure and a long-term approach turn Kazakhstan's subsoil resources into sustainable value.

Group profile

Managing the full mine life cycle with expertise and compliance

Kazakhstan Mining Group was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in Almaty. It is an integrated company engaged in the exploration, mining, processing and trading of gold and associated metals. Its operations are concentrated in south-eastern and central Kazakhstan, where placer gold is the primary commodity alongside polymetal and lode gold blocks. The group has built a complete front-end exploration capability spanning regional geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys, drill testing and resource estimation.

Development follows a simple rule: the feasibility study sets the investment and the grade sets the flowsheet. Construction begins only after the study, state registration of reserves and environmental permitting are complete. All tailings are dry-stacked and linked to online monitoring.

The Group's long-term strategy advances on three fronts, licences, capacity and capital: sustained exploration spending extends resource replacement; technical upgrades and expansion lift the cash margin on every tonne of ore; and a sound capital structure supports M&A and cross-border trade. We do not pursue short-cycle arbitrage on resources. Every mine is planned over a life of fifteen years or more, including the closure and reclamation plan drawn up on the first day of construction.

Resource endowment and operating base

  • 7 licence blocks totalling approximately 813 km² across the Almaty, Jetisu, Karaganda, Turkistan and Zhambyl regions; placer gold is the primary commodity, alongside polymetals and lode gold
  • Combined gravity–flotation–CIL flowsheet; tailings dry-stacked and linked to online safety monitoring
  • Group-owned site roads and haulage fleet; refined gold enters regional precious metals channels after treatment at licensed refineries
  • More than 25 employees, of whom over 30% are technical staff in geology, mining and processing; the local employment rate is 10%

Mission · Vision · Value proposition

Why we mine, and how we intend to do it

Mining is a business measured in decades. Where the direction is unclear, capital, resources and trust are all eroded slowly.

01

Mission

Turning resources below ground into value above it

To develop Central Asia's gold resources safely and efficiently on the strength of sound geology and engineering, creating returns for shareholders and leaving the mining regions with employment, tax revenue and an environment that can be restored.

02

Vision

To become Central Asia's most trusted mid-tier gold producer

To sustain a stable annual gold output, maintain a resource life of more than fifteen years, and report to internationally comparable disclosure standards open to scrutiny by capital markets, regulators and communities alike.

03

Value proposition

We own the whole chain and do not outsource responsibility

Exploration, mining, processing and trading are managed and measured by the Group as one, and accountability for safety and the environment is never passed to contractors; the origin, grade and destination of every tonne of ore remains traceable.

Milestones

From a single exploration licence to fully integrated operations

In ten years the Group has moved from a pure exploration team to a producing miner with steady cash flow.

  1. 2016

    Group founded and first exploration licence granted

    In progress

    Incorporated in Almaty with geological and legal teams in place; the first gold exploration licence was granted in Karaganda Region, where 1:10,000 geological mapping and initial geochemical and geophysical surveys were completed.

Credentials and compliance

Compliance built as a system that can be verified

In mining, compliance is not a stack of certificates in a filing cabinet. It is a set of processes executed, recorded and inspected every day.

Licences and permits

Every operating and development project holds a valid exploration or mining licence; licence boundaries, validity periods and minimum annual expenditure commitments are reviewed quarterly, and work is strictly confined to the approved area.

HSE management system

The system is built to international occupational health, safety and environmental management standards, covers our own working faces and all contractors, and is subject to annual third-party audit and government inspection.

Reserves and technical reporting

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are prepared to Kazakhstan national standards and registered with the State Reserves Committee; technical reports are compiled in parallel to international frameworks for independent review by investors and financial institutions.

Audit and disclosure

Financial statements are audited annually by an independent accounting firm; related-party transactions, licence changes and major investments follow internal approval and disclosure procedures, and a whistleblowing channel accepts both named and anonymous reports.

Licences and Certification

Licensed to operate, compliant end to end

The Group and its project companies hold the subsoil use licences, operating permits and international management system certifications required across the full chain — from exploration and mining through processing to the export of precious metals.
