Mineral exploration and mining company China Nonferrous Gold (CNG) successfully completed construction of the mine site at its Pakrut gold project, in the Republic of Tajikistan at the end of 2018.
Following the successful completion of infrastructure and construction works at the mine site, the project entered full operation this year and is currently producing at levels of 2 000 t a day, CNG CEO Yu Lixian said on Monday.
“This marks a new chapter for the group as it becomes an important gold producer in Tajikistan and brings steady cash flows to support the sustainable development of the company,” he added.
While working to improve production at the mine, CNG is also focusing on perfecting and improving the smelting process by reducing production costs, increasing recovery rates and improving competitiveness.
CNG aims to become a significant gold producer in Central Asia and plans to participate in China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
