Located in the Kushrabat district of Samarkand, Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company’s (NMMC) Zarmitan underground mine continues to push production boundaries.

🔹 In 2024, the mine produced 1.17 million tons of gold-bearing ore.
🔹 That’s 13x more than in 2002, when Zarmitan mine first became part of NMMC.
🔹 What took 365 days in 2002 is now done in just 28 days.

This growth is the result of sustained investment in modernization, re-equipment and the adoption of new mining technologies.

“Driven by production modernization, cutting-edge technologies and innovative approaches, we are steadily increasing ore mining capacity at the Zarmitan mine. In the last three months alone, we extracted 370.5 thousand tons of ore. With the current momentum and resources in place, we are fully on track to meet and potentially exceed our targets for the year” said Ilkhom Usarov, head of the Zarmitan mine.

The mine’s workforce of 1,600+ professionals including 370 young specialists and 75 women continue to drive performance with consistency and skill. With reserves projected through 2050, Zarmitan mine is positioned not just for output, but for long-term resilience.
