Chinese Firms Plan Copper Projects in Uzbekistan’s Namangan Region

China’s Boi Yi Da company is planning to construct a copper processing plant in Uzbekistan’s Namangan region, with the project expected to unfold in two stages. The first stage alone is estimated to require an investment of around $40 million. Once operational, the plant’s output will be entirely sold for export.

Simultaneously, China Mining Energy Group is set to invest $200 million in a copper ore extraction and processing project in the Chust district of the same region. The facility is projected to produce 30,000 tons of copper annually upon completion.

Chinese entrepreneurs are currently assessing the feasibility of building these copper-related facilities in Uzbekistan, marking a significant investment in the country’s industrial and mining sectors.
