Amount of ore mined in 2022 — 4 million 828 thousands tonnes

Highest quality product in the world

The main raw material base for the production of Kazakhstan's ferroalloys is at the Aktobe and Aksu smelters, also part of ERG. At the end of 2024, a milestone in the history of Kazakhstan's modern mining industry took place here - the new Bolashak mine (the second phase of the 10th Anniversary of Kazakhstan mine) was launched. As a result of the new facility, Kazakhstan will not only be able to increase production volumes up to 2 million tonnes of ferroalloys per year, but also improve the quality of its products, securing its leading position in the global market.

Capacity — 1.1 million tonnes of ferroalloys

One of the largest ferroalloy producers in the world. It annually produces more than 1 million tonnes of products, most of which are exported to non-CIS countries. The unique feature of the enterprise is the combination of large-scale production of chromium, silicon and manganese alloys necessary for smelting various steel grades. The enterprise, which has set itself the goal of becoming a leader in the industry and gradually increasing its capacity, is carrying out large-scale modernisation of production. Among the industry know-how is the renovation of the most powerful unit of the plant - melting shop No.6. The first result of the renovation is ferroalloy furnace No. 64, which is fully hermetically sealed. Insulation of the vault made it possible to capture and utilise all ferroalloy gas and use part of it for preheating of raw materials and ladles. This innovation reduces electricity consumption during melting and facilitates metal extraction from the process vessels.
