Chinese Slurry‑Pump Supplier Secures $10.6‑Million Mining‑Equipment Contract with Kazakhstan Aidarly Copper‑Mine, July 03,2026
One well‑known Chinese mineral‑processing machinery manufacturer officially inked a formal supply contract on July 3, 2026, with Aidarly Mining LLP, the operator of Kazakhstan's landmark Aidarly copper deposit located within the Abay Region of Central Asia. The total contract value hits around 10.6 million US dollars (76‑million‑CNY). This big‑ticket deal covers full‑spec heavy‑duty AH‑type horizontal slurry pumps, hydrocyclone separators, high‑chrome wearable wet‑end spare‑parts, on‑site installation guidance, commissioning service and long‑term after‑sales technical‑support for the upcoming mineral‑processing concentrator plant.
About The Giant Aidarly Copper‑Mine Project
Aidarly copper deposit ranks among Kazakhstan's most valuable porphyry copper resources. Verified ore reserves reach 1.529‑billion‑ton raw ore, with an average copper grade of 0.38%. The mineral reserve also contains valuable by‑products including molybdenum, gold and silver metals. The whole mining‑processing plant kicked‑off foundation‑laying construction ceremony on July 22,2026, with Kazakhstan senior‑rank government officials attending the launching‑event. After reaching full operational capacity, this open‑pit mine will process 75‑million tons of ore every single year, outputting 226,000 tons of copper concentrate and 3,550 tons of molybdenum concentrate annually. The total investment budget of the mine project exceeds 4.5‑billion USD, and formal ore‑processing operation is scheduled to start in 2029.
The mine owner Aidarly Mining LLP belongs to one of Central‑Asia's top‑tier copper‑producing conglomerate. Its annual copper‑concentrate output hit 243,000 tons in 2025, owning abundant capital strength and rich large‑scale open‑pit mine‑operation experience.
Why Large‑Scale Copper‑Mines Prefer AH Horizontal Centrifugal Slurry‑Pumps
All mineral‑processing workflows demand stable slurry transportation: ore‑pulp delivery from grinding mills, flotation‑cell feeding, tailings pipeline‑transport and waste‑slurry circulation. Abrasive copper‑ore slurry carries sharp hard mineral particles, which creates extreme abrasion damage for pump impellers, liners and casing components. For this reason, the Aidarly project requires mass‑produced heavy‑duty AH horizontal slurry pumps. Our AH‑series slurry‑pump adopts high‑chromium alloy wearable wet‑end components, can bear high‑solid‑content abrasive slurry, adapt long‑time non‑stop operation under harsh Central‑Asia high‑temperature and dusty mine‑site environment. It cuts frequent spare‑part replacement downtime and lowers the mine's overall operation‑maintenance expense.
Market Insight: Booming Slurry‑Pump Demand Across Central‑Asia Mining Belt
2026 turns out to be a prosperous year for China‑origin mining‑pump exports to Central‑Asian countries. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Russia keep accelerating the exploitation of copper, iron‑ore, rare‑earth and molybdenum mineral‑resources. Massive newly‑built concentrator plants, tailings‑disposal pipelines and mine‑dewatering projects continuously generate huge procurement demand for vertical sump pumps, AH horizontal slurry pumps and heavy‑duty tailing‑transport pumps. Compared with expensive European‑American well‑known pump brands, Chinese slurry‑pump manufacturers deliver competitive pricing, customizable flow‑rate & head parameters, fast spare‑part delivery and local‑oriented after‑sales service. More and more Central‑Asian mine operators are switching to reliable Chinese‑manufactured slurry‑handling machinery in 2026.
