Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fwqf5n/precious_metals) has announced the addition of the "Precious Metals Mining in Kazakhstan to 2020" report to their offering.

The 'Precious Metals Mining in Kazakhstan to 2020' report comprehensively covers the country's historical and forecast data on gold and silver mine production to 2020 and reserves (also by region). The report also includes drivers and restraints affecting the industry, profiles of major precious metals mining companies, information on the major active, development and exploration projects and regulations governing the industry.

Kazakhstan's gold production was estimated at 1.6 million ounces (Moz) in 2013, up by around 15% relative to 2012. This is due to the ramp up of Kazzinc Ltd's Vasilkovskoje mine - a satellite of the Altyntau Kokshetau mine - which produces the bulk of the country's gold.

The report contains an overview of the Kazakh precious metals (gold, silver) mining industry together with the key growth factors and restraints affecting the industry. Further, it provides information about reserves, production, prices, competitive landscape, major active, exploration and development projects and the mining fiscal regime of the country.
