Highlights
- In H1 2025, KAZ Minerals achieved its highest ever half yearly ore throughput of 50.6 Mt in H1 2025 as the
Group continues to focus on maximising operational efficiency. - Copper production in H1 2025 decreased by 4% to 184 kt (H1 2024: 191 kt) due to an expected reduction
in the average copper grades processed and temporarily lower recovery rates at Bozshakol due to the
complex mineralogy of the ore. - By–product output declined compared with the prior year as mining took place in areas with lower by–
product content. - Copper sales of 176 kt in H1 2025 were 4% below production, as higher volumes of copper concentrate
were dispatched for toll processing at the Balkhash smelter. However, in the second quarter, sales volumes
of 96 kt exceeded production volumes as the Group was reduced goods in transit.
Andrew Southam, Chief Executive Officer, said: “KAZ Minerals achieved its highest ever half yearly ore throughput of
50.6 Mt, with both Aktogay and Bozshakol achieving ore processing records in the year so far. These excellent results
reflect the Group’s focus on enhancing operational capacity which has resulted in copper output of 184 kt in H1 2025.”
