Kazakhstan’s Major Rare Earth Elements Are Discovered:
Kazakhstan has uncovered its largest-ever reserve of rare earth metals at the Kuirektykol site in the Karaganda region, marking a transformative moment for the country’s mining industry and its position on the global resource map. With nearly one million tons of rare earth elements (REEs) and potential reserves exceeding 20 million tons in the broader Zhana Kazakhstan zone, this discovery could position Kazakhstan as a major player in the critical minerals sector. As the world races toward green technology and reduced dependence on dominant suppliers like China, Kazakhstan’s find could not be more timely.
