AMMC Achieves Remarkable Production Growth in January
The Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Combine (AMMC) has reported a significant increase in its production outputs for January, surpassing its initial forecasts. The Kalmakyr mine, a key operation within AMMC's portfolio, achieved 102.0% of its production target, marking a year-over-year growth of 127.3%.
This uptick in production was led by a 105.5% increase in the processing of copper raw materials. The team at the copper concentration plant-2 (MOF-2) played a pivotal role in this achievement, reaching a 113.5% completion rate, thereby contributing to the fulfillment of copper cathode production goals. Additionally, AMMC successfully met its production targets for both copper and zinc from its raw materials.
The Khandiza mine administration also reported success, exceeding its extraction and processing targets for polymetallic ore with rates of 103.9% and 101.3%, respectively. Notably, the zinc content in the zinc concentrate achieved was 105.8%.
Further contributions came from other mining sites, including the Angren and Chadak mine administrations and the Kauldy mine, which met their targets in the extraction and processing of gold ore and the production of concentrates.
AMMC also reached its forecast indicators for the production of other valuable materials, including copper sulphate, technical selenium and tellurium, ammonium perrhenate, palladium powder, and molybdenum trioxide.
In terms of exports, January saw AMMC exporting products valued at $31.1 million, achieving 103.2% of its forecasted figure. This included significant quantities of copper products (24,054 tonnes), zinc products (964 tonnes), copper sulfate (381 tonnes), and molybdenum products (72 tonnes).
