Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Navoi Mining and Metallurgy Combine (NGMK) started to mine gold an new open mine “Bessopantau” in Central Kyzylkums.
RIA Novosti reported quoting source in NGMK that it is planned that the mining will reach its designed capacity – about 15 million cubic meters of ore a year – in 2015. The investments will make up US$60 million.
According to NGMK, existence of gold in ore at Bessopantau points to opportunity to process additional reserves due to increasing the volume of open mining works at the outlines of Muruntau mine, which is main gold ore base of the combine.
