Kazakhstan’s national atomic company is strengthening its international partnerships by signing new agreements with Swiss and Jordanian enterprises. These contracts will allow Kazatomprom to expand its global market presence, according to official reports.
The first agreement was signed with Axpo Power AG and Kernkraftwerk Leibstadt AG, a nuclear power plant in Switzerland. Under this deal, Kazatomprom will supply uranium to Western Europe’s nuclear reactors. Additionally, another Swiss nuclear power plant will start purchasing Kazakh uranium fuel.
The second contract was signed with JUMCO, a Jordanian uranium mining company. The two sides plan to conduct joint geological exploration in Jordan, leveraging Kazakhstan’s expertise as a global uranium industry leader.
Beyond exploration, the partners may collaborate on metal extraction, resource assessment, and optimizing the in-situ leaching technology. JUMCO emphasizes the need to prioritize environmental protection and industrial safety in their operations.
Earlier this year, Kazatomprom expanded its exploration portfolio within Kazakhstan, securing a new license for a uranium deposit at the Inkai site.
