The exhibition was visited by more than 17,000 people from all over the world, including investors, scientists and technical specialists, heads of large mining and exploration companies, government officials.
Aurora Minerals Group was represented at the exhibition by two pavilions of promising Kazakhstani exploration projects. In addition to highlighting the investment attractiveness of our country's mineral resources industry, Aurora placed special emphasis on the exchange of international experience with leading service companies and developers of technological know-how in the field of geological exploration. Our company has offered insight for foreign representatives of the industry into the positive dynamics of mineral exploration in the country, as well as the peculiarities of entering the Kazakh market.
As part of PDAC 2022, Aurora held a number of important meetings with companies such as Barrick, BHP, K92 Mining Inc., etc., where discussion topics were prospects for cooperation in such areas as the attraction of investments into mineral exploration, development of joint exploration projects, technology transfer, the creation of modern production bases, interpretation using machine learning algorithms for the mineral exploration purposes.
Another significant event during the convention was the signing of an agreement on the establishment of a joint venture in Kazakhstan between the world's largest airborne geophysics company Xcalibur Multiphysics and Aurora Minerals Group. The joint venture will be registered in the AIFC, and will fully localize the airborne geophysics using the latest technologies such as AGG Falcon, MIDAS, HeliTEM, Tempest, etc. Kazakhstani specialists will be trained in modern geophysical technologies and data processing methods, which in turn will allow to take this type of service to a new level in our country.
The key priority areas of the joint venture’s development will be the implementation of regional airborne geophysics on the territory of Kazakhstan, followed by the provision of high-quality and modern datasets for mapping, interpretation and selection of promising areas for mineral exploration.
