Ferrochrome producer Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) has started mining a new chrome deposit with mineable reserves of more than three-million tonnes.
Located within the site of Kazakhstan’s 10th Anniversary of Independence mine, in Khromtau, the deposit is expected to produce 300 000 t/y of ore. ERG-owned Donskoy Ore Mining and Processing Plant has already extracted the first 3 500 t of ore.
