Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company is carrying out a range of initiatives to enhance its railway infrastructure, including the construction of new railway lines and the modernization of existing ones.

At the Muruntau mine, the Railway Transport Department of the Central Mining Administration has, within a short timeframe, constructed and commissioned a transshipment facility at the Severniy open pit. The commissioning of this facility is of significant importance for transporting gold-bearing ore extracted from the Muruntau mine to Hydrometallurgical Plant No. 2, as well as for increasing the plant’s ore processing capacity.

“As part of this project, the company’s railway specialists have laid more than 1.2 kilometers of railway track and installed three switch turnouts. The Severniy open pit transshipment facility enables the transportation of approximately 500,000 tonnes of ore per month to HMP-2.” said S. Nazarov, Chief Engineer of the Railway Transport Department.

These measures contribute to reducing time losses associated with organizing locomotive operations during rail transport, as well as to achieving savings in fuel and lubricants
