Deposit THIS PLANT HAS BEEN PROPOSED BUT HAS NOT BEEN BUILT. THE PLANT REQUIRES FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND TECHNOLOGY. FEED WOULD COME FROM THE PAVLODAR-BOSHCHEKUL MINE (4590000143). PLANNING BEGAN IN 1981. MATERIAL WOULD FEED THE BALKHASH COMPLEX(4590000141),1,200KM DISTANT.THIS WOULD SEEM UNECONOMIC.
