Karatau Mining and Processing Complex

The Karatau Mining and Processing Complex, a branch of LLP "Kazphosphate", is a mining enterprise engaged in the extraction and processing of phosphorite ore.

The complex focuses on the extraction and processing of phosphate rock, sourced from the Kok-john and Zhanatas deposits.

Located in the Karatau basin, it enjoys several advantages due to its rich phosphate rock reserves:

- The region boasts immense reserves, primarily concentrated in a number of the largest deposits, totaling hundreds of millions of tonnes of ore. Geological estimates indicate reserves amounting to 1.41 billion tonnes of phosphate rock.

- The original ore exhibits a relatively high concentration (21-25%) of the beneficial component P₂O₅.

- Its territorial location lies within an industrially advanced and well-developed region, in close proximity to the primary cotton and beet-growing regions of Kazakhstan and Central Asian countries. These regions are major consumers of phosphate fertilisers.

Products manufactured:

- Finely ground phosphate rock (phosphate rock) for extraction purposes (feedstock for MAP, DAP).

In addition, block stone is extracted for finishing works at the Toguzbay and Dongulek deposits.
