Taking into consideration the price increase for non- ferrous metals, gold, uranium and growing demand for coal, Kazakhstan’s mining industry is developing rapidly.
American companies can provide needed products and services to the Kazakhstani mining companies, such as bulldozers, drilling equipment, explosives, trucks, drill rigs, trams, cranes, crushing and pulverizing machinery, dredges, hydraulic excavators, quarrying machinery and equipment, elevators, compressors, hammer mills, special trucks, etc.
Among the best sales prospects and services are diamond drilling contractors and people that perform geological, geochemical and geophysical surveying, equipment involved in bulk sampling such as a processing plant, small aircraft, fuel supplies and geological supplies like sample bags.
More than half of Kazakhstan’s mining, processing, and smelting enterprises use outdated equipment that is often in need of repair. Almost all lack environmentally friendly technologies. Kazakhstan does not have its own mining machinery industry and relies heavily on Russian imports. U.S. mining equipment firms should explore trade opportunities in used and refurbished equipment, as well as turnkey project management.
