The Kumtor Gold Mine, which opened in 1997, is based on one of the largest gold deposits in the world, and new gold mines are planned at Jerooy and Taldy–Bulak, and a major gold discovery was announced at Tokhtonysay in late 2006 making this small but resource rich country again another key market for CISEG as a provider of specialised mining equipment. CISEG runs a small but effective and efficient operation and also services its customers from the construction industry as the exclusive dealer of JCB.
