The ramping up to two new openpit copper mines in the Pavlodar and East regions of Kazakhstan has helped KAZ Minerals to more than double its first-half production, revenue and profit.
The London-, Kazakhstan- and Hong Kong-listed miner on Thursday reported production of 118 000 t of copper in the six months ended June 30, comprising 52 000 t from the new Bozshakol mine and 33 t from the new Aktogay mine.
