00:04Global demand for critical minerals is rising, placing research-rich regions at the center of industrial growth and new economic
00:13opportunities.
00:15This is Business Line Uzbekistan. Hello and welcome!
00:20The country, with its rich geological regions, is actively developing rare and strategic metals.
00:26By 2030, the country plans to increase its annual production to 500,000 tons of copper, 155 tons of gold,
00:37500 tons of silver and 10,000 tons of uranium.
00:41Uzbekistan aims to launch 76 projects, targeting 28 rare minerals, with a total investment of more than 2 billion euros.
00:50International cooperation plays a crucial role in Uzbekistan's strategy.
00:56The European Union has signed memorandums of understanding on critical minerals with Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan,
01:04aims to attract private investment into the region's mining and processing industries.
01:09Here is more!
01:11The Almalik Mining and Metallurgical Complex is one of Uzbekistan's and Central Asia's leading producers of copper,
01:18molybdenum, polymetallic and gold-bearing ores.
01:22It also ranks among the world's top 30 copper producers.
01:25We are in the Kalmakar open-pit mine, one of the largest copper deposits in the world.
01:31This massive site supplies millions of tons of copper ore each year, playing a key role in Uzbekistan's mining and
01:38metallurgical industry.
01:41The Almalik Mining and the Almalik Mining and the Almalik Mining in the World.
01:46Today, our annual production costs over 38 million tons per year.
01:53We are constantly mining, mining, mining, mining and mining, and mining.
02:02We are also mining, mining and mining and mining.
02:02We are in total 13 metals.
02:03At the Oschlichmann deposit, key metals include copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, and sulfur,
02:10rare elements such as rhenium, selenium, and tellurium are also extracted here.
02:21The mine stretches 4 kilometers inland, 2.3 kilometers in width, and reaches a depth of 250 meters.
02:39Another key component of the Almalak complex is the zinc plant.
02:44It produces zinc, cadmium, sulfuric acid, zinc oxide, copper clinker, and zinc sulfate,
02:50with annual zinc output reaching up to 120,000 tons.
03:09To reduce environmental impact, a new sulfuric acid production unit is being launched.
03:16It will capture and process industrial gases that would otherwise be related into the atmosphere.
03:22This company has been produced by 20,000-79,000 m3 of the technology gas.
03:29It has been produced by 180,000 tons.
03:32It has been produced by 540 tons of zinc sulfate, and it will be produced by 540 tons.
03:37With rising production and major investments, the mining sector is set to play a growing role
03:43in the global critical minerals supply chain.
03:48Joining us love is Oral Yusupov, Deputy Minister of Mining Industry and Geology.
03:53Mr. Yusupov, thank you for being here.
