In early 2018 Chinese TBEA received the license to start developing the Verkhniy Kumarg deposits.
In 2013 the company obtained a license to work at the Duoba deposits.
Both deposits are situated in Sogdiy region.
According to sources, the company has the right to develop the deposits until it reimburses all the funds spent to construct the Dushanbe-2 power plant.
“After that another agreement will be concluded with the company, but on different terms”, sources noted.
Gold contents at the Verkhniy Kumarg and Duoba are estimated at over 2 g per ton. (Ukrainian metal)
