Sodium Cyanide Production

Kazakhstan Chemical industry overview October 2013 1 Cooperation Offer One of the main assets of Kazakhstan is its mineral resources. Out of 105 chemical elements in the Mendeleev's Periodic Table, 99 elements have been identified in the soil of Kazakhstan, reserves of 70 elements have been explored, 60 chemical elements are used in manufacture. Out of 11 billion tonnes of minerals recovered worldwide, 250 million tonnes are recovered in Kazakhstan, which makes Kazakhstan the 11th place in the world rating. Kazakhstan ranks from 1st to 19th in production of 37 types of raw materials. Kazakhstan has large resources of phosphorites, sulphur, potash salts and other mineral raw materials, on which the chemical industry can be based. Approximately, deposits of 4 potash salt-dome structures presented for exploration are generally assessed as more than 1 bln.tonnes of ore. Desired investment for exploration is assessed as $15-20 mln. for each structure. 2 Benefits We consider that the investment project has significant benefits: 1. Access to mineral raw materials The salt-dome structures presented for exploration are located in one of large potash fields in the world – the Caspian Depression. Its halogenous formation is defined by most complete series of sedimentations and represented by carbonates, terrigenous-carbonaceous, carbonate- sulphate, sulphate, chloride-sulphate and chloride sediments. 2.Creating favorable conditions for direct investments Along with creation of general favorable environment, special conditions will be created for large and transnational companies implementing projects within the Republic of Kazakhstan. For investment projects in the priority sectors –investment preferences provided by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On investments” and special procedures for issuing entry visas for foreign experts on an immediate and gratis basis. For large and priority investment projects in partnership with acknowledged foreign investors and transnational companies, separate investment agreements stipulating special measures of government support will be made: tax benefits and preferences; Конфиденциально providing minimum long-term government order and order of national companies; other financial and nonfinancial incentives. Decisions on these support measures in the context of investment agreements will be made at the Government level. 3 3. Strategic location Geographically, Kazakhstan is located favorably for sales of products due to close vicinity of such markets as China, Russia, and has access to large ports in the world. The Republic of Kazakhstan is a member state of the Customs Union along with the Russian Federation and Belarus, which ensures free movement of goods between the Union countries, where the integrated customs area with internal market of approximately 165 mln. people will be created. Moreover, the unique geographical location of Kazakhstan makes it possible to reach a position of powerful global stakeholder in Asia and CIS region (Russia, Central Asia, China, Iran, India). 4. Strategic partnership • The United Chemical Company was established on 21 January 2009 to execute instructions of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan in development of the chemical industry. • Its sole shareholder is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan via the “Samruk-Kazyna” Sovereign Wealth Fund. • One of the main objectives of the Partnership is to assist in development of the chemical industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan as a priority sector and increase its share in GDP. According to the government program on accelerated industrial and innovative development, placement of the chemical industry businesses with initial distribution is connected to sources of raw materials (Zhambyl, Aktobe, Atyrau and South Kazakhstan regions - nitrogen, phosphoric, potash, complex mineral fertilizers). 4 Kruglyi Lebyajenskoye Inderskoye Shugul Infrastructure: • The salt-dome structures are located in the West Kazakhstan and Atyrau regions •Within a radius of 20 - 100 kilometers, there is Inderbor town and within a radius of 165 – 250 kilometers, there is Atyrau city; • in close vicinity to the district, there is the Ural River; • there is railway going to Atyrau port in the Caspian sea, to the Russian railways and to the south of Kazakhstan, further reaching Uzbekistan; • the district is electrified with the possibility of power supply expansion. 5 Summary Geological Description of the Fields К О Geographical 2 Potash salt occurrence Field Knowledge Mineral resources compoun Resources Notes location depth ds Inderskoye(Belaya At 18 km to the Inclosing structure- Salts of mixed 26,98% Occurs at the depth of SRC as of 01.01.2009 Detailed Rostosh) east from salt table of chloride-sulphate approx. 50-65 meters Category С2 – ore exploration Inderborsky town Indersky structure composition 29517 thou. t, К2О - (saline dome). 7963 thou. t Kruglyi At 100 km to the Mineral resources Boron-potash salts 12-25% Lens-shaped masses, Approximate resources Preliminary north-west from masses were capacity -1-9m, of boron-potash ore - exploration Inderborsky town opened by 13 wells occurrence depth - 394- 187 mln.t, forecast protecting the (West Kazakhstan from 36. 562 meters. resources –more than resources of Chapayev district) 300 mln.t. category С1.
