Green Nickel

Green Nickel. Zero Emissions. Scalable Future.

Sary Arka Mining Company is pioneering a technological and industrial transformation in the global nickel market.

Founded and led by Mukhtar Dzhakishev, former CEO of Kazatomprom (1997–2008), who transformed Kazakhstan into the world’s largest uranium producer through advanced leaching technologies and modular industrial scaling. Today, that scaling philosophy is being applied to nickel through Sary Arka Mining Company.

“We are bringing Kazatomprom-level scalability to the green-nickel era.”

Our first production facility will be established at the Bugetkol deposit in Kazakhstan, demonstrating the commercial viability of this breakthrough and setting the foundation for a new era of clean nickel production.

Proven leadership

Built on more than two decades of hydrometallurgical excellence in Kazakhstan and a track record of transforming uranium into a globally competitive industry.

Breakthrough technology

Direct production of battery-grade NiSO₄ and CoSO₄ from lateritic ores at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, with water and reagent recycling.

Scalable platform

A modular process designed for rapid international deployment, unlocking low-grade laterites and legacy stockpiles across multiple regions.
