Project Details

Sodium butyl xanthate is used as a collecting agent (collector) in mineral processing by flotation method of beneficiation. Beneficiation plants, processing ores of rare and precious metals have to purchase this flotation agent mostly from and abroad. In Kazakhstan, it is produced by the project owner in limited volumes (200 tons) of law quality and it doesn’t completely cover LLP “KSS”. Its demand increases in Kazakhstan every year due to the growth of the number of subsoil users, developing small and medium deposits. They suffer from certain difficulties, because xanthate producers sign supply contracts for consignment by carload only. This lead to appreciation of already expensive agent under ex-factory terms by truck loads. In addition, as monopolists, the xanthate producers under various pretexts raise prices for their products, which is often unreasonable.

Investment Environment

Kazakhstan is a landlocked country in Central Asia and the largest landlocked state in the world. Bordering on Russia, the People's Republic of China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, with Iran and Azerbaijan across the Caspian sea, the land area ranks ninth in the world. In recent years, Kazakhstan has strengthened the economic, political and military integration with Russia and other CIS countries, and January 1, 2015, will establish Eurasian Economic union with Russia, Belarus, Armenia and other countries. Historically, Kazakhstan was the first Central Asian country to be infiltrated by Russia and was deeply influenced by Russia. The industrial base is very good, especially the oil, the chemical left behind by the Soviet Union. In the five countries of Central Asia, social and political stability, so long-term economic development is very good. But the economy is about the same as Russia's, too dependent on the petrochemical industry, light industry and machine manufacturing lag behind, a large number of daily necessities rely on imports.
