Bishkek, June 15, 2026. /Kabar/. For the first time in the history of Kyrgyzstan, the country has begun to develop a large Togolok gold deposit using its own resources and resources. The project is being implemented by Kumtor Gold Company's subsidiary, Kumtor Operating Company.
According to the company, the deposit is located at an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level, in the difficult-to-reach Ak-Shyirak mountain range, and has not been developed for half a century since its discovery.
"Currently, excavation work is in full swing at the quarry. It is planned to reach the first gold reserves in the next 1-1.5 months," the report says.
As noted, narrow roads were widened and a new bridge was built in a short time. The modern modular dormitory for 85 miners was built, and large dump trucks, excavators, and special equipment were purchased for the quarry.
International competition was held to build a gold mill, a workers' village, and a tailings storage facility from scratch. As a result, the Chinese company Nerin Engineering, which has global experience, was selected, and the contract was signed in April 2026.
"The Togolok mine, which operates entirely on the basis of domestic financing, will soon become one of the main sources of finance for the Kyrgyz economy," the company noted.
