Deccan Gold Mines has commissioned the gravity plant at its Altyn Tor Gold Project in Kyrgyz Republic and expects the leaching circuit in June, with full commercial operations targeted for August 2026, employing 130 Indian technical staff and a large local workforce.
Deccan Gold Mines Limited, India-based gold and critical minerals mining company, has reported significant progress at the Altyn Tor Gold Project in the Kyrgyz Republic, with commercial operations targeted for August 2026, according to official disclosures. Following improving weather conditions, nearly 130 Indian technical professionals are working alongside a large local workforce to accelerate commissioning. The gravity plant has been successfully commissioned, and the first-phase leaching circuit is expected online in June, enabling production of gold doré bars. Full-scale commercial operations are targeted for August 2026, with an inauguration planned to coincide with the Independence Day celebrations of both India and Kyrgyzstan.
This development matters because the Altyn Tor deposit is located within the highly mineralized Soltan Sary gold belt, part of the major Tien Shan Shear Zone, a 300-kilometer gold mineralization system. Deccan Gold’s investment in Avelum Partners, the project developer and operator, marks the first investment by an Indian mining and exploration company in the Kyrgyz Republic, positioning the company at the forefront of India’s expanding global mining footprint. Industries impacted include gold mining, mineral exploration, and cross-border investment.
Regional stakeholders include the Kyrgyz Republic’s mining authorities, local workforce, and Indian mining sector participants.
For investors, the August 2026 target suggests near-term cash flow generation if commissioning proceeds without delays. The symbolic co-timing with national holidays may facilitate regulatory and community relations. However, operational risks remain in leaching efficiency, ore grade consistency, and geopolitical factors affecting foreign mining investments.
Deccan Gold Mines Limited is an Indian gold and critical minerals mining company headquartered in Bangalore, focused on exploration and production.
The Altyn Tor Gold Project is a gold development project in the Kyrgyz Republic operated by Avelum Partners, a developer backed by Deccan Gold.
