Kazakhstan Potash Corporation Limited announced that a letter has been received from the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development (MIID) in relation to KPC's Zhilyanskoye project in Kazakhstan. The MIID has informed KPC that the transition to mining under the Subsoil Use Contract (SSUC) has not proceeded and as such the government has requested a return of the contractual area. In response to that letter, KPC wrote to the MIID and has advised them that, after completion of the exploration stage, a dispute with the Aktobe regional government had arisen regarding the boundaries of the SSUC in relation to the location of the Aktobe city boundary and the start of the Zhilyanskoye tenement which has not yet been resolved. That dispute must be resolved before there can be any transition to mining under the SUCC. At present, KPC has advised the MIID that it will submit the requisite materials required for a transition to mining shortly. The Company had originally intended the materials to be lodged earlier in the year however the Covid-19 situation caused a delay in the process. While KPC believes that the above approach will result in the MIID withdrawing its request, there can be no guarantee that will occur. KPC will update the market on further developments accordingly.
