Abstract

According to the National Statistical Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic, the mining industry in 2014 had more than 53.9% of the value of all industrial products, while the share of the mining industry in GDP in the same year was more than 10%. Under the former Soviet Union, the mining industry was of great importance in the Kyrgyz Republic. In the last 20 years, discoveries of large gold deposits and other valuable minerals brought Canadian and other international corporations to exploit. These companies operate without clearly detailed land remediation law and regulations. Many unresolved and partially resolved issues on disposal, reclamation of disturbed lands after mining, including radioactive waste, have been dealt in a case-by-case manner.
