With its subsoil rich in raw materials and minerals, Kazakhstan represents a remarkable potential for mining. Second-largest mining market in Central Asia, behind only Russia, Kazakhstan is the world's largest producer of uranium and contains the world's fifth-largest reserves of zinc. The country also holds large reserves of coal, copper, nickel, gold, silver and iron. It is not without good reason that the mining sector is linked to 30% of the country’s export revenues and 19% of its industrial workforce.

Through its partnership with Nomad Geoservices (NGS), Abitibi Geophysics is active in the Kazakh mining market. As a leader in ground and borehole geophysical services, our company’s expertise is valued in this country, whose subsoils contain over 60 of the 105 elements in Mendeleev’s periodic table.
With its full range of geophysical services in the areas of acquisition, processing, modeling, inversion and interpretation of mining exploration data, Abitibi Geophysics is an active participant in the Kazakh mining sector.
