BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 2. Kazakhstan’s copper production and reserves are laid out in the Eni World Energy Review 2025, painting a picture of steady resource availability while the output levels dance to a different tune.
Data obtained by Trend from the review indicates production and reserve figures for the period from 2010 to 2024, with some years missing production data.
| Year | Production (thousand metric tons) | Reserves (thousand metric tons) |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 | 380 | 18,000 |
| 2015 | — | — |
| 2019 | 562 | 20,000 |
| 2020 | 552 | 20,000 |
| 2021 | 510 | 20,000 |
| 2022 | 593 | 20,000 |
| 2023 | 740 | 20,000 |
| 2024 | 740 | 20,000 |
Kazakhstan’s copper production has shown variability over recent years, with a notable increase between 2021 and 2023, reaching 740,000 metric tons in both 2023 and 2024. This rise may be linked to expanded mining capacity or improved operational efficiencies.
Reserves have remained consistently reported at 20,000 metric tons since 2019, indicating a stable resource base capable of supporting sustained production. The data reflects Kazakhstan’s important role as a copper supplier in global mineral markets, especially as demand for copper grows due to its use in electrical wiring, renewable energy technologies, and electric vehicles.
Over the decades subsequent to its inception in 1953, Eni has engaged in a multitude of sectors encompassing contracting, nuclear energy, power generation, mineral extraction, chemical processing, polymer production, refining and distribution apparatus, the hospitality domain, as well as the textile sector and media dissemination.
