Kazakhstan-Mining-Power-Chemicals KAZAKHSTAN MINING, POWER & CHEMICALS 2016 & CHEMICALS POWER MINING, KAZAKHSTAN KAZAKHSTAN MINING, POWER & CHEMICALS 2016 Power - Mining - Mining Code - Mono-Cities - Exploration Production - Equipment - Services - Chemicals Dear Readers, Our team at Global Business Reports is delighted to present the following cross-industry analysis of Kazakhstan’s mining, power, and chemical sectors. After months on the ground in Almaty, Astana, Karaganda and Ust Kamenogorsk, we have heard from the country’s most prominent executives, officials and thought leaders across three distinct but interlinked value chains. The Central Asian state is endowed with a rich store of natural resources, including oil and a host of metals and minerals. Strategically located at the frontiers of Russia and China, and bearing healthy relations with trade partners across the world including the United States and Western Europe, Kazakhstan has relied on raw material exports to fuel its economy for decades. Yet a fall in oil prices coupled with slowing global growth and geopolitical uncertainty has prompted the state to invest in alternative sources of income and pursue economic diversification. According to the World Bank, the country is likely to grow at an estimated 1.3% this year, down from 4.3% in 2014, highlighting the need for strong policy directives. The state has articulated its commitment to reform, outlining steps to achieve large- scale development and modernization through two programs of accelerated industrial and innovative development. Furthermore, the Kazakh economic policy, known as Nurly Zhol, outlines plans to stimulate the economy through targeted investments in domestic transport, energy, and industrial and social infrastructure. Following through on these objectives will be key in overcoming the downturn in oil prices and increasing the country’s visibility in the global arena. The upcoming Expo 2017, to be hosted in Kazakhstan’s capital city of Astana, will be a timely test of the country’s commitment to change, as well as an opportunity to showcase the country’s non-oil sectorial potential. Kazakhstan Mining, Power & Chemicals 2016 Industry Explorations strives to provide insights into Kazakhstan’s largely undiscovered potential, specifically within the mining, power, and chemical sectors. We hope that investors and policymakers alike will gain insights from our research on the country’s ongoing exploration, its commitment to the adoption of renewable energy, and its burgeoning chemical production within newly established special economic zones. Kazakhstan’s primary goal to rank among the world’s 30 most developed nations by the year 2050 hinges on the success of all three of these key sectors. We would like to heartily thank all of our interviewees, as well as the companies, associations and individuals that we have met with for their support and insights. Sincerely, Katya Koryakovtseva, Project Director Lubo Novak, Journalist Neha Ghanshamdas, Journalist KK LN NG CONTENT Exclusive Interviews Introducing Kazakhstan and its Mining, Kazakhstan's Equipment and Service Government officials, association heads, and Power & Chemical Industries Supply Chain industry executives discuss their organizations’ strategies and provide insight into the Kazakhstani 8.

  • First Mining Works in Zhezkazgan Opening of The
    HISTORY 1913 FIRST MINING WORKS IN ZHEZKAZGAN The first large-scale mining works started on the Zhezkazgan copper deposit. Processing of copper ore into finished products was performed at Sarysuiskaia Enrichment Factory by Spasskoe JSC, which was headed by the Englishman Leslie Urkart. The company was nationalized after the October Revolution in the 1920s. 1928 OPENING OF THE KONYRAT COPPER DEPOSIT Academician Mikhail Petrovich Rusakov discovered the Konyrat copper deposit, which became the basis of the Balkhash complex. LAUNCH OF KARSAKPAI COPPER SMELTER First non-ferrous metallurgy of Kazakhstan. On October 18, the first coarse copper from Zhezkazgan ores was issued. 1929 GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION OF ZHEZKAZGAN In 1927 the work of K.I. Satpaev “Karsakpaiskii raion i ego perspektivy” [Karsakpaiskii region and its prospects] was published. There the scientist proves the fundamentality and importance of the study and exploration of the Zhezkazgan deposit. In 1929, the geological exploration was entirely entrusted to the scientist. By the end of 1931, a team of geologists led by K.I. Satpayev had proved the presence of large deposits of copper in Zhezkazgan, many times greater than the predictions of the Geological Committee. 1934 Launch of the Konyrat mine. 1937 Balkhash heat and power plant (BTETS) was put in operation. 1938 OPENING OF BALKHASH COPPER SMELTER In April 1931, the board of Tsvetmetzoloto of the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the USSR decided on the construction of a pyrometallurgical plant in the area of Lake Balkhash. On April 23, 1938, the first copper concentrate at Balkhash Enrichment Factory was issued. On November 24, 1938, the first coarse copper from the Pribalkhash’e Ores was received in Balkhash, and the anode copper was poured in the same year.

These new virus-infected flagellates were isolated in the same region of Uzbekistan and the viral sequences differed by only nineteen SNPs, all except one being silent mutations. Therefore, we concluded that they belong to a single LRV2 species. New viruses are closely related to the LRV2-Lmj-ASKH documented in Turkmenistan in 1995, which is congruent with their shared host (L.
