Investment starts with trust: The Chamber’s participation in the opening day of MINEX Kazakhstan 2026

The first day of MINEX Kazakhstan 2026 proved to be truly substantive for the Kazakhstan Chamber of Mines. At the strategic session “Dialogue with Regulators: Balancing Control and Investment,” the industry’s key question was discussed: how to maintain a balance between national interests and the country’s attractiveness to capital. Chamber President Ruslan Baimishev was among the keynote speakers and put forward a simple yet important point: investors always “vote” with the volume of their investments, and if confidence in a jurisdiction declines, it immediately affects investment activity.

Later, Ruslan Baimishev moderated the investment session titled “Scaling Up Discoveries in Kazakhstan’s New Mineral Era”, organized in collaboration with the Chamber. Chamber members spoke at the event, and projects from 10 companies were presented, including Arras Minerals, Aurora Minerals Group, FQM, and others that are currently driving a new wave of geological exploration in the country. The discussion of real-world case studies on scaling discoveries proved to be very practical.

For the Chamber, participating in such forums provides an opportunity to directly influence the quality of industry dialogue, promote the interests of its members, and strengthen international confidence in Kazakhstan as a mining jurisdiction. I would also like to highlight the high level of organization of the forum: MINEX once again brought together the market’s leading players and set the right tone for an honest, professional discussion about the industry’s future.
