Centerra Gold Inc. saved $250-300 million a year based on the law we passed: MP

AKIPRESS.COM - "Centerra Gold Inc. saved $250-300 million a year based on the law we passed," MP Omurbek Tekebayev said on November 12 at a parliamentary session.
Underground mine would cost them $250-300 million more, he noted.
"But we allowed cutting the glacier and digging on surface. We didn't get any savings from this. If we'd receive at least $100-150 million, we wouldn't have a headache how to get rid of debt to China," Tekebaev said.
The MPs are considering draft amendments to some laws on investment support initiated by MPs Abdyvahap Nurbaev, Janar Akayev, Asylbek Jeenbekov, Torobai Zulpukarov, Kanat Kerezbekov, Altynbek Sulaimanov, and Isa Omurkulov.
