NAC Kazatomprom JSC announces that its subsidiary, Ulba Metallurgical Plant JSC (\u201cUMP\u201d), has received a license for exploration of solid minerals at the Karadzhal deposit in the Abay region.<\/p>\n

The project will allow Kazatomprom to rely on its own mineral resource base for the existing rare metals production, increase economic efficiency, and expand the geography of its presence. Aiming to assess and confirm the reserves of rare metals (tantalum, niobium, beryllium), the Company will conduct geological exploration at the site.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cRare and rare earth metals and their compounds play a critical role in a wide range of economic sectors, from aviation and space technology to medicine and electronics. \u00a0These metals are critical materials that define the modern world. We are proud to announce that Kazatomprom continues its strategic development in this direction. The discovery and development of new deposits will strengthen our position in the global market and contribute to the creation of new jobs. In 2023, UMP has obtained a license for exploration of solid minerals at the Verkhny Irgiz deposit in the Aktobe region,\u201d said Kuanysh Omarbekov, Kazatomprom\u2019s Chief Operating Officer.<\/p>\n

UMP is the unique company and one of the largest in the world with a full production cycle from processing tantalum, niobium and beryllium to the production of high-quality finished products. Today, the plant ranks 2nd<\/sup> in the world for the production of beryllium products, and 4th<\/sup> for the production of tantalum products.<\/p>\n

This activity is carried out as part of Kazatomprom\u2019s scientific and technological development program for 2022-2029 in the field of RM and REM, aimed at creating new product types, improving technologies of extraction valuable components at enterprises, and organizing R&D clusters.<\/p>\n
