Copper Concentrator No. 3 (MOF-3) of the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex (AGMK) processed 10 million tons of ore from its launch on March 16 to November 4, 2026. During this period, more than 160,000 tons of copper concentrate were also shipped to the copper smelting plant. Factory representatives reported the achievement of the production milestone to the management of the complex.
The enterprise is part of the project to develop the “Yoshlik I” deposit. Its design capacity provides for processing up to 60 million tons of ore annually, producing about 900,000 tons of copper concentrate. Production volumes are gradually increasing: while 661,500 tons of raw materials were processed in March, the figure exceeded 1.6 million tons in October.
A total of 12 mills are installed at the concentrator, ten of which are already operational, while commissioning and testing continue on the remaining two. Moving forward, AGMK plans to bring the enterprise to its design capacity, stabilize technological processes, and ensure the required quality of the concentrate produced.
