NMMC expands use of desalinated technical water for sustainable gold production Gold production, especially the extraction of precious metals from ore, relies heavily on water. For NMMC, efficient water use and conservation are essential pillars of our ESG strategy. To meet the growing needs of Hydrometallurgical Plant No. 3 (HMP-3), NMMC established the Beshbulak pumping station in 2016, along with a 20-kilometer salt-resistant pipeline. This infrastructure currently supplies an average of 6 million cubic meters of technical water annually, with plans to increase this figure to 8 million cubic meters by 2025. The Desalination Complex at HMP-3, developed by the German company Eurowater AB, purifies water from the Beshbulak station to supply the BIOX plant. Using highly mineralized groundwater extracted from a depth of 200 meters, the facility produces over 2.6 million cubic meters of desalinated water annually, reducing dependency on water from the Amu Darya-Zarafshan pipeline. Geological studies have confirmed a 25-year reserve of this underground saline water. NMMC is committed to achieving 40% water reuse by 2030, in line with global best practices for sustainable resource management. By utilizing advanced desalination technology and optimizing resource usage, NMMC remains at the forefront of sustainable development while supporting Uzbekistan’s economic growth. #NMMC #GoldMining #WaterManagement #Desalination #Sustainability #ResourceEfficiency #Uzbekistan

NMMC Plans to Expand Processing Capacity at HMP-7 to 25 Million Tonnes! Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Company is undertaking a significant expansion at Hydrometallurgical Plant No. 7 (HMP-7), the largest facility dedicated to processing technogenic waste. The ongoing project includes the construction of four new #mills, adding 10 million tonnes of annual processing capacity. Once completed, the plant will house a total of ten mills, increasing annual throughput to 25 million tonnes. In 2023, HMP-7 processed 15.8 million tonnes of waste, with plans to increase this figure to 16 million tonnes in 2024. By eliminating costs associated with #mining, sorting, and transporting ore, the HMP-7 process significantly reduces production costs while boosting efficiency. This project also plays a crucial role in NMMC’s #ESG agenda, addressing the critical task of processing technogenic waste to minimize the negative environmental impact of production and promote sustainability. The expansion project is driven entirely by NMMC’s in-house expertise and resources: - Equipment and spare parts are manufactured at the Navoi Machine-Building Plant and Zarafshan Repair-Mechanical Plant. - Construction is managed by the Zarafshan Construction Directorate. NMMC remains committed to innovation and operational excellence as it continues to enhance its production capabilities. #NMMC #GoldMining #Uzbekistan #Sustainability #Efficiency
