Rancher complains about impacts of Karamurun uranium in situ leach project on cattle
: In 2008,
Kazatomprom's subsidiary No. 6 Mining Company started drilling on the pasture lands owned by Elibay Dzhikibaev,
without obtaining his consent. The company drilled bore holes, began to work with acid, and laid a road. As a result,
the land became unsuitable for pasture. The cows and calves fell into the funnels, their hooves were injured from the
contact with acid. The rancher lost a large part of his cattle and asked the company for compensation. The company
promised to compensate the damage, but never paid. (Caravan Jan. 15, 2010)

The start of production at the West Mynkuduk in-situ leach uranium mine was announced at a press conference on June
4, 2008. First uranium concentrate is to be delivered in 2008; full production of 1000 t U/a is expected in 2010. During
a 22-year lifetime, the mine is expected to produce a total of 18,000 t U. (Kazatomprom June 4, 2008)
Sumitomo Corp
said its West Mynkuduk uranium project in Kazakhstan, in which the trading house has a 25% stake,

Kazatomprom launched the PV-19 uranium mine at the East Mynkuduk field in the South Kazakhstan region on May
12, 2006, the Kazakh national nuclear corporation's press office said. The mine will produce uranium by the in-situ
leach (ISL) method. It should achieve full capacity of 1,000 tonnes of uranium concentrate annually in 2007. The East
