Kazakh gold mining company Kazakhaltyn Technology, part of Altynalmas, has announced plans to launch a new production facility for processing gold-bearing ores in the Akmola Region. According to reports, the crushing and screening complex will be located in the village of Aksu, just 18 km from Stepnogorsk, on an 0.8-hectare land plot.
The facility will feature six conveyor belts with a total length of approximately 210 meters and a two-tier vibrating screen, capable of sieving ore with a double-layer mesh. Additionally, the complex will be equipped with three crushers and a vibrating feeder, necessary for feeding material into the technological equipment. The feeder will have a capacity of 360-500 tons of ore per hour.
Raw materials will be delivered using dump trucks. The ore reserves will accumulate on a ramp with a turnaround area, from where loaders will transport it into the loading hopper.
Construction of the complex is set to be completed by November 2024, with operations scheduled to begin in December. The enterprise aims to process around 1 million tons of ore annually. To achieve this volume, 500 tons of sodium cyanide, used in leaching, will be required.
The facility is expected to operate until the end of 2032, after which decommissioning works will be organized.
