en.Wedoany.com Reported - Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev recently heard a report on the progress of major investment projects in the copper industry, focusing on the first phase of the Third Copper Concentrator at the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Combine (Алмалыкский горно-металлургический комбинат). The project, which commenced operations in March this year, is part of the "Yoshlik-1" deposit development plan, covering an area of 196 hectares with a total investment of $2.7 billion. Upon reaching full capacity, it will process up to 60 million tons of ore annually, producing approximately 900,000 tons of copper concentrate.

The current task requires increasing the ore processing capacity of the Third Copper Concentrator by the end of this year, fully activating all major process flows to ensure stable production. After the Third Copper Concentrator is fully operational, the combine's daily copper concentrate output is expected to increase from 2,400 tons to 5,000 tons. The meeting also reviewed the acceleration of the Fourth Copper Concentrator project development. According to the plan as of October 2025, the plant was originally scheduled to be fully operational in March 2026.
