Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex  is actively developing mutually beneficial cooperation with leading universities in both Uzbekistan and foreign countries. In particular, this year a memorandum of cooperation was signed between AMMC and Yangi Uzbekistan University. As part of the agreement, an industrial tour to the Complex  was organized for students and teachers of the university on April 17.

The tour began with a visit to the observation platform of the Kalmakyr mine. Chairman of the Board of “Almalyk MMC” JSC Abdulla Khursanov introduced the students in detail to the ore mining process and the Complex  activities:

“At present, in addition to fulfillment of production forecasts, we are actively implementing investment projects,” noted A. Khursanov. - As part of the Yoshlik I deposit development project, the mine itself, copper concentrator-3 and all its necessary infrastructure are being built. Today, leading global companies are demonstrating interest in the implementation of our projects. We receive proposals for cooperation. In implementation of these large-scale initiatives, we, of course, count on young professionals like you.

The guests then got acquainted with the progress of work at the Yoshlik I deposit, as well as with the processes of repair, digitalization and training of personnel at the utility vehicles department.

In the afternoon, a seminar was organized with the participation of students and teachers of the New Uzbekistan University, the Almalyk branch of National Research Technological University “Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys”, specialists of the Complex  and students of the branch of Tashkent State Technical University in Almalyk.

At the seminar, Professor Bugra Chashkurlu of Yangi Uzbekistan University gave a lecture on the advantages of artificial intelligence technologies and their application in industry. In turn, the acting director of the digitalization department of AMMC, Aziz Rozikulov, presented information on the digital transformation projects being implemented at the Complex .

The next site during the tour was Copper Concentrator No. 3, which is capable of processing up to 60 million tons of ore per year. The specialists detailed the students and teachers the technologies used and the production capacities of this enterprise.

The students were particularly impressed by the engineering school, which operates on the model of the training center of the German company "Aurubis" and uses modern educational technologies. They got acquainted with the conditions created for the students and even offered to organize special training courses for them at the school.

As part of the industrial excursion, students and faculty of the University "Yangi Uzbekistan" received a comprehensive understanding of the activities of AMMC.
