Date of foundation

Sodium cyanide plays an essential role in gold and silver mining, as well as in metallurgy. Sodium cyanide is widely used in the cyanidation process, the main method of extracting gold and silver from ores. The advantage of this method is the high efficiency of metal extraction, as well as cost-effectiveness and reliability.


Sodium cyanide is used to purify metals from impurities, for example, to separate gold from other metals. Sodium cyanide is also included in the composition of electrolytes used for galvanization of metals, such as gold, silver and copper, which plays an important role in the jewelry and electronics industries. It is used for heat treatment of steel.


In the chemical industry, sodium cyanide is used as a raw material for the production of organic compounds, such as nitriles, which are used in the pharmaceutical and textile industries, as well as in the production of plastics. The advantages of using sodium cyanide are high chemical reactivity and versatility of use. Ammonium sulfate is in demand among tanneries and agricultural producers in Kazakhstan.

The plant’s capacity is 15 000 tons of sodium cyanide and 5 000 tons of ammonium sulfate per year. To this date, the company has achieved stable performance and produces about 1 250 tons of sodium cyanide per month. The plant's products are in high demand due to their quality and compliance with modern standards.

Development prospects

The launch of the second line will become an important stage in the company's development, strengthening its market position and making a significant contribution to the development of the chemical industry and the economy of the region.

Taking into account the growing demand for sodium cyanide, the management has initiated the construction of the second plant line

The plant employs 650 people. More than 80% of the employees are local residents who live in Karatau and the nearby settlements. Subject matter specialists are engaged from other cities of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Increase in the production of sodium cyanide will reduce the cost of production and provide the market of Kazakhstan with 20 thousand tons of domestic sodium cyanide.

This is in line with the national policy of import substitution and will allow increasing the export potential to 10 thousand tons per year.

As a result of the project implementation, 300 new jobs will be created

The second line will increase the production capacity to 30 000 tons of sodium cyanide and 10 000 tons of ammonium sulfate per year. The total cost of the project will amount to 25.8 billion tenge.

The development and implementation of the new line will take into account the latest achievements in automation and process control, which will increase production performance and ensure compliance of the products with international standards.
