Project Pipeline Development

The project pipeline of the AIFC Junior Mining Platform is formed based on applications submitted by holders of valid licensed mining projects.

At the initial stage, applicants provide basic project information, including the stage of development, license details, ownership structure, key geological data, as well as a set of supporting documents in accordance with the platform’s requirements.

Submitted applications undergo preliminary screening based on established criteria, which vary depending on the project stage. For early-stage projects, the assessment focuses on the availability of a valid license, basic geological data, and an exploration plan, while for more advanced projects a broader package of technical, environmental, infrastructure, and economic information is considered. Detailed information on project stages and selection criteria is available in a separate document for download.

Following the review, projects are categorized by development stage and commodity type, ensuring comparability and facilitating analysis by investors.

The resulting pipeline includes projects that have passed the preliminary assessment and are prepared for presentation to investors at the Junior Mining Investment Day within Astana Finance Days, as well as for further interaction in a B2B format.
