Altynken Revenue at Taldy-Bulak Up 43% as Production Rises 6%

Kyrgyz-Chinese gold mining company Altynken, which operates the Taldy-Bulak Levoberezhny deposit in Chuy Region, boosted operating revenue by 43.2% to 1.779 billion yuan for the first half of 2026. The data comes from Zijin Mining Group's financial statements published on September 25.

Physical gold production, meanwhile, grew far more modestly — by 6%: from 1.7 tonnes in the first six months of 2025 to approximately 1.8 tonnes in the same period of 2026. The gap between financial and production indicators is explained by price conditions: according to Zijin Gold International, the average gold sales price across the entire group for the same period rose by 51% — from $3,085 to $4,643 per troy ounce.

Over six months at Taldy-Bulak Levoberezhny, 1,712 meters of exploration and development drilling was completed. The company also refined its ore processing technology, focusing on reducing metal losses, improving extraction of residual gold, and enhancing the copper precipitation process.

The Taldy-Bulak Levoberezhny deposit is located in Kemin District of Chuy Region.
