A delegation led by Kurbonzoda Isojun, First Deputy Minister of Industry and New Technologies of Tajikistan, visited the smelter of Tazhong Mining Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tazhong Mining"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tibet Everest Resources Co., Ltd. They toured the electrolysis workshop and learned in detail about the production operation and product output. Xiao Qingsong, General Manager of Tazhong Mining, and other leaders accompanied the delegation throughout the visit.

Beijing Huaxia Jianlong Mining Technology Co., Ltd., one of China's top ten metallurgical and mining companies, announced that it will invest US$150 million to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tianlong Kazakhstan Mining Co., Ltd., in the Astana International Financial Centre in Kazakhstan, to fully take over the group's mineral resource layout in Central Asia.

Against the backdrop of increasingly fierce global competition for mineral resources, Central Asia is gradually becoming an important destination for the repositioning of international mining capital. As a leading mining company in Kazakhstan, Kazakh Copper Corporation is actively introducing international resources and technology to accelerate a new round of geological exploration.

According to Avesta News Agency, the Tajik Presidential Press Center reported that on March 31, President Emomali Rahmon launched the commissioning of the No. 8 coal mine project of the Angisht Joint Stock Company during a working visit to Isfara.

Recently, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Combine and officially launched the project for the third copper processing plant. Simultaneously, a massive mining plan is underway. Over the next few years, Uzbekistan will implement mining investment projects totaling $22 billion.

The Saritag mining area is located in a steep valley in western Tajikistan. Miners are working tirelessly to extract antimony ore from the crisscrossing tunnels beneath peaks 4,000 meters above sea level. This silvery-gray metal, once known as a cosmetic ingredient, has now become a key resource for strategic industries, used in the manufacture of solar panels and to reinforce the armor of military vehicles.

Canadian mining company Silvercrown Metals will develop two of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the western Tian Shan gold belt of Kyrgyzstan. The company has signed a share purchase agreement with Chaarat Gold Holding Ltd. and a cooperation agreement with the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic.

The development of copper mines in Central Asia is entering a period of rapid growth. The construction of a super concentrator in Zetsu, Kazakhstan, with an annual processing capacity of 50 million tons of copper ore has begun. The first production line of the third concentrator in Almarek, Uzbekistan, has been put into operation. The intelligent transformation of the Kuruk-Tegelek copper-gold mine in Kyrgyzstan is accelerating. The rise of these "super concentrators" signifies that this important global copper resource reserve is rapidly moving towards becoming a "world-class copper industry hub."
