Bengaluru-based mining company strikes gold in Kyrgyzstan - The Times of India

AI desk brief

Bengaluru-based Deccan Gold Mines has started production at its Kyrgyzstan Altyn Tor project, marking the first Indian company to reach production stage in a gold project in the Central Asian country. The company said it produced first gold doré in August and is now working toward full-scale output, including leach circuit and tailings facility commissioning, revised mine planning and additional drilling.

The project sits in Kyrgyzstan’s Naryn region within the gold-rich Soltan Sary zone of the Tien Shan Shear Zone. While the article does not quantify output, the development is directionally supply-positive for gold as a new mine moves into production; however, the market impact is likely modest given the absence of tonnage guidance.
