RSE "Zhezkazganredmet"

In 1973, a pilot plant for the production of ammonium perrenate from washing sulfuric acid was installed at one of the sections of the sulfuric acid workshop of the Zhezkazgan copper smelter. At the same time, the building of the rare metal workshop was being built, which was put into operation in 1976.

The Republican State Enterprise Zhezkazganredmet was established in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated September 28, 1995 No. 1292 and the Resolution of the State Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan on State Property Management dated October 4, 1995 No. 278.

Zhezkazganredmet RSE is the only state-owned enterprise in Kazakhstan producing ammonium perrenate, rhenium acid, metallic rhenium in the form of powder, beads, tableting and osmium – 187 isotope.

All the company's products are exported to the CIS countries and far abroad.

Kazakhstan is the only country in the world that has a unique raw material containing rhenium and an almost pure isotope of osmium-187, the formation of which is due to the radioactive half-life of rhenium (the half-life is about 45 billion years).

The presence of elevated concentrations of rhenium and osmium in the ores of Zhezkazgan (99% represented by the isotope Os - 187), forming an independent finely dispersed mineral - zhezkazganite, is one of the most important features of the deposit.

The purpose of the enterprise is the activity aimed at obtaining and applying new knowledge to achieve practical goals, solving specific tasks and carrying out production and economic activities in the field of science on the processing of materials containing osmium, rhenium, rare earth metals and the production of these metals

In cooperation with scientific institutes of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Zhezkazganredmet RSE is a center for the research and extraction of rare metals.

All the company's products are exported. Consumers of our products are firms from near and far abroad.

In general, the company is modern, knowledge-intensive, dynamic and has further prospects in the development of the production of rare metals.
