Almaty, November 27 (Xinhua) — A capsule-laying ceremony was held in the Zhambyl region of southern Kazakhstan to lay the foundation stone for a sodium cyanide plant with a capacity of 25,000 tons per year, the Kazinform news agency reported on Thursday.

The investment amount in the project is approximately 60 billion tenge (approximately 116.25 million US dollars).

The plant is reported to be the first enterprise of this scale in Kazakhstan and will allow the country to significantly reduce its dependence on sodium cyanide imports, meeting the needs of the gold mining industry and creating its own export potential for Kazakhstan.

In addition, up to 400 jobs will be created during the construction period, and approximately 250 permanent jobs will appear after the plant is commissioned. –0–
