The Unkurtash mine is one of the largest gold mines in the Kyrgyzstan and in the world.[1] The mine is located in the west of the country in the Jalal-Abad Province.[1] The mine has estimated reserves of 3 million oz of gold.[1] In 2012 Highland Gold announced that they had been awarded mining permits in these prospects. They aim to further increase their current resource base in hopes of developing a large scale open-pit operation.
