KATCO Achieves First Production at South Tortkuduk Project KATCO successfully extracted uranium concentrate from the South Tortkuduk project after initiating the acidification process. This on-schedule achievement marks a significant milestone and is a testament to the team's dedication. Need to highlight that South Tortkuduk will contribute 25% of KATCO's current output in 2024. Full production capacity of 4,000 tons of uranium expected by 2026. It is expected that the construction will reach 70% completion by year-end 2024 with focus on wellfield infrastructure and network expansion, as well as implementation of a digital wellfield system for optimization. Project prioritizes safety, collaboration, and sustainability. KATCO remains committed to responsible and efficient uranium production at South Tortkuduk. #KATCO #SouthTortkuduk #UraniumMining #Sustainability #Success #OranoMining #Orano #Kazatomprom
