Our Strategy & Mission:

The Group's Mission is to achieve growth as a leading natural resources group and to enhance overall value for its shareholders. The key elements of this strategy are:

• Maintain low cost operations
• Continue expansion and development of the existing reserves and capacity
• Add value and customer diversity by expanding the production portfolio
• Expand the asset portfolio and footprint in the natural resources sector, both within the region and worldwide, and
• Commitment to high standards of corporate responsibility, with particular reference to health and safety 

Our Vision

With our production centred in Kazakhstan, and our structure and processes amoung the most developed and efficient, we are perfectly positioned - geographically and as a business - to extend our strong regional presence as the market for natural resources shifts eastwards towards Russia, China and India.

Utilising our proven expertise and experience in exploration, our approach is to acquire further long-term, cost-competitive operations and transform them into world-class businesses through entrepreneurial management and sustained investment.

We believe that solid growth, achieved through constant acquisition and development, is the best way to create maximum value for all.

Operating efficiency - underpinned by tight financial control, judicious use of capital and strong balance sheets - remains key to the group's long-term security.

At the same time, we are a very customer-focused organisation, constantly adapting ourselves and what we produce to the changing needs of our customers.

We aim to recruit the best managers in the business and empower them to take the bold, decisive action required in such a competitive market.
