ThePribrezhniy Copper Project is strategicallylocated in the Karaganda Oblast of Kazakhstan, positioned within one of Central Asia’s most prolific copper belts. Located370km south of Karaganda and35km southeast of Balkhash, the project benefits from its position in an established miningjurisdiction.

Project Highlights.

742km² license area in the Balkhash-Tokrau region
Year-round access via established infrastructure
35km from Balkhash processing facilities
Direct rail access to Chinese and European markets =
Connection to Kazakhstan’s national power grid
Established water infrastructure

Regional Advantages

The project lies within the Balkhash-Junggar system, a proven copper-producing region with a mining history dating back to the 1940s. The nearby Kounrad Mine, which produced approximately 800Mt of copper ore grading 0.62% Cu until 1996, demonstrates the region’s mineral endowment and operational viability.

Location of Pribrezhniy and other deposit areas of interest. P1 = Pribrezhniy; P2 = Prikounradskiy II; S1 = South Kounrad, NE1 & NE2 = Pribrezhniy Northeast & Northwest. Shabigon is an exclave located 120km west of the main area.
