Ground water sample collection Interception trench

15. FUTURE PERSPECTIVE • Completion of boiler house expansion is scheduled for September 2014, with a view to increasing current annual production plan up to 11,000tpy. The aim is to smooth the production dips seen during the winter period by doubling the amount of solution that can be heated. • The Company, working with BGRIMM, is looking at several plant extension options, and a decision to implement one of them is expected shortly. • Kazatomprom’s Institute of High Technologies (“IHT”) is developing the relevant mining design documentation for exploitation of western dumps. • Western dumps exploitation is scheduled for start-up in Q2 2017.
