Today, public hearings were held in the Almalyk municipal Khokimiyat aimed at informing the public about the construction work of the new metallurgical complex.

The event was attended by Kobil Khamdamov, khokim of Almalyk, senior officials of AMMC, representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, as well as public activists of the city.

During the event, Obid Zhonsaidov, Deputy Head of the Investment Department made a presentation, talking about the new metallurgical complex: “The new metallurgical complex is being built as part of the implementation of the investment project “Development of the Yoshlik I deposit” based on the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PP-4731 dated May 26, 2020. As a result of the project’s implementation, copper production at AMMC will increase by 2 times, gold by 1.7 times, and silver by 1.3 times.”

It is worth noting that as a result of the new complex launch, the level of gas emissions purification will increase by 30%. The relevance of the implementation of this project lies in the fact that the cathode copper produced by the plant is the main raw material for enterprises in the electrical industry of Uzbekistan. An increase in copper cathode production capacity will also contribute to an increase in production volumes of finished copper products (cables, pipes, foil, fittings) with added value.

It is also important to emphasize that because of the implementation of this project, new jobs will be created.

During the event, the plant’s specialists presented detailed information about the significance of the project in the development of the city and the region as a whole.

Dear Almalyk residents, if you have suggestions and objections regarding the project, we ask you to call (+998 70) 619-23-33 or write to info@agmk.uz.
