Kumtor paid processing companies 19.1 million KGS for waste disposal

In the first ten months of 2025, the Kumtor gold mining company spent approximately 75 million KGS on the processing and disposal of production waste. These figures were provided by the company's environmental service.

Part of the waste — 1,299.9 tons — was transferred to third-party processors. The cost of this work amounted to 19.1 million KGS. This refers to various types of production waste that cannot be safely stored at the deposit.

The main burden fell on the company's own thermal disposal facility, the Brener-350U incinerator. Here, 557.86 tons of waste were disposed of, including household waste, rags, filters, and oily materials. At an average price of about 100 KGS per kilogram, the costs exceeded 55.7 million KGS.
