Kazakhmys Corporation has officially denied media reports alleging the illegal export of copper ores and concentrates without proper analysis and the concealment of rare earth metal content. The company stated that all its products undergo strict quality control, and in cases where copper concentrates are exported, independent chemical analyses are conducted in world-class laboratories such as SGS Kazakhstan.
Kazakhmys also emphasized that it does not engage in the targeted extraction of rare earth metals. Small amounts of rare metals are recovered from production waste and processed at state-owned and private enterprises within the country, in full compliance with legal regulations.
The company assured that its operations are entirely transparent and are closely monitored by the relevant authorities. Kazakhmys supports enhanced government oversight of raw material exports and is open to cooperation with authorities for any necessary inspections.
