Industry: Mining | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)


Synopsis
The 'Base Metals Mining in Kazakhstan to 2020' report comprehensively covers the country's historical and forecast data on base metals (copper and zinc) mine production, consumption and trade to 2020 and reserves by geographical region. The report also includes drivers and restraints affecting the industry, profiles of major base metals mining companies, information on the major active, exploration and development projects and regulations governing the industry. 

Summary
Kazakhstan's estimated copper and zinc mine production in 2013 was 426,500 metric tons (hereafter't') and 324,000t respectively, with the majority originating from East Kazakhstan and Karagandy. Copper mine production is projected to increase over the forecast period, owing to the expansions and mine life extensions at the country's existing mines. 
Scope
The report contains an overview of Kazakhstan's base metals mining industry together with the key growth factors and restraints affecting the industry. Further, it provides information about reserves, production, prices, consumption, trade, competitive landscape and major active, exploration and development projects. Also included is the country's fiscal regime, which includes governing bodies and relevant laws, mining rights and obligations as well as key fiscal terms. 
Reason To Buy
Gain an understanding of Kazakhstan's base metals mining industry, the relevant drivers and restraining factors, reserves, historical and forecast production, consumption, trade and the fiscal regime. 
Key Highlights
 Kazakhstan's estimated copper and zinc mine production in 2013 was 426,500 metric tons and 324,000t respectively, with the majority originating from East Kazakhstan and Karagandy.  
Kazakhstan's base metal mining industry is mostly export-oriented, leaving a substantial amount for export and consuming very little.  
The country's projected copper and zinc metal consumption in 2013 was 55,600t and 32,800t respectively, compared to the country's projected copper and zinc ores and concentrates exports in the same year, which were 504,800t and 449,100t respectively. 
Kazakhstan's two upcoming copper projects - Bozshakol and Aktogay, located in Northern and Eastern Kazakhstan respectively - are scheduled for commencement of operations.
