The joint Tajik-Chinese precious metals manufacturer Zeravshan is undergoing a reconstruction.
“At present we are renewing the production line, thus mining has been suspended”, the company reported.
Zeravshan is the largest precious metals miner in Tajikistan with the share of 70%. It was founded in 1994 on the basis of the gold-extracting factory, which began operating in 1990.
The first output of the new enterprise was 2 tons of Dore gold in 1996.
In 2007 Zi Jin Mining Group Co., Ltd. purchased 75% of the company shares. The rest belongs to the government. The company employs over 2 thousand people. (Ukrainian metal)
