Kazakhgold is a gold mining company based in Kazakhstan. It has gold mines at Aksu, Bestobe and Zholymbet and is one of Kazakhstan's largest mining companies.[2]
Polyus
Kazakhgold had originally been founded by the Assaubayev family. In 2009 they sold a 50.1% stake to Polyus Gold, a Russian mining company.[3] The stake subsequently increased to 65% and a reverse takeover was planned.[4] Polyus subsequently alleged that the Assaubayevs had misled Polyus or tried to siphon off money from Kazakhgold. Kazahkgold's offices were raided by the Kazakh authorities.[5] In December 2010, Polyus agreed to sell its stake back to the Assaubayev family and dropped its legal action;[6] Polyus' share price soared.[7]
