This agreement was signed during President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s official visit to Uzbekistan, formalizing both companies’ commitment to exploring and designing the project.
The agreement facilitates the initiation of the design phase along with the necessary technical and economic evaluations. The proposed complex is set to achieve a production capacity of up to 50,000 tons per year of LAB. A final investment decision will be made once the design work is finalized.
