Purpose of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessments
The EBRD is considering providing long-term debt financing to AltaiPolimetally LLP and Terekty Ken Baitu LLP in order to support development of the Koktaszhal copper-gold deposit located in the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan and to build a processing plant with 4 million tons annual capacity.
The project is expected to have positive transition impact through:
(i) the support of an independent private player in the Kazakh copper sector, helping strengthen its market position;
(ii) setting high standards of corporate governance and business conduct by requiring consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and regular auditing, as well as introducing best practices in EHS;
(iii) demonstration effect and replication potential of new mining and processing techniques which would have a positive impact on EHS and on the profitability of the project.
There is a project summary document available for this project.
