Almaty, July 22 (Xinhua) — Kazakhstan plans to double copper production by 2030 by launching new large deposits – Aidarly, Koksay and Benkala, the Kazinform news agency reported on Tuesday, citing the country's Vice Minister of Industry and Construction Olzhas Saparbekov.
According to him, due to the launch of three new deposits, copper ore production will increase to 300 million tons.
Iron ore production will grow by 40 percent /to 52 million tons/ due to increased domestic processing and the launch of projects to produce hot briquetted iron.
This, in turn, will contribute to the growth of copper production from 500 thousand tons to 1.2 million tons; hot briquetted iron to 5 million tons; steel from 4.1 to 13 million tons.
"According to our calculations, by 2030 a significant volume of produced metals will be processed within the country, bringing them to high-value products. Thus, copper processing will reach 91 thousand tons, aluminum – 163 thousand tons and lead – 81 thousand tons," noted O. Saparbekov.
The vice minister also added that in 2025, Kazakhstan plans to increase copper processing by 2 times, aluminum by 1.5 times, lead by 2.3 times, and zinc by 11 percent. –0–
