What Kyrgyzaltyn JSC does

Kyrgyzaltyn JSC is a state-owned open joint stock company headquartered in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, and the country's largest domestic enterprise specializing in the development of gold deposits. Founded on October 15, 1992 as the State Concern "Kyrgyzaltyn" to consolidate the republic's mining enterprises, the company operates a vertically integrated gold value chain spanning mining at multiple deposits (including Makmal, Solton-Sary, Karabaltynskaya, Karakala-Terek, Shiber-Too, and Chekchey), refining at the Affinage Plant in Kara-Balta to 999.9 purity, and retail distribution of LBMA Good Delivery-certified bullion bars in eleven weight denominations (1g to 1000g) through two flagship Bishkek stores and an official e-commerce channel.

The company holds LBMA Good Delivery accreditation and operates the Central Scientific Research Laboratory Complex (CNIL) for precious metals analysis, enabling direct trading with central banks, commercial banks, and major precious metals traders on global markets at international spot prices. Beyond gold, Kyrgyzaltyn has expanded into adjacent verticals: the Altyn Logistik international logistics center in Balykchy (5.5 hectares, 200 trucks/day capacity on the Great Silk Road), the Kyrgyzaltyn Resort health center in Issyk-Kul, and construction subsidiaries. Revenue derives from gold mining, processing of gold-containing raw materials for foreign counterparties (notably the Central Bank of Mongolia Doré alloy project generating over $12 million), retail bullion sales with published buyback/sale spreads, international trading, and logistics services. The company is governed by a Board of Directors and Management Board chaired by Kubat Abdraimov, and contributed over 18.7 billion KGS to the Kyrgyz state budget in 2025.
