On March 28, 2017, during the visit of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Navoi region, the construction of Hydrometallurgical Plant-5 was launched on the basis of the Auminzo-Amantoy mine. In 2021, the plant with a processing capacity of 5 million tons of sulphide and oxide ore per year was put into operation.
The uniqueness of the plant is that it uses a completely new technology that has no analogues in the world, namely the technology of gold extraction based on oxygen-lime oxidation. The production processes at the plant are fully automated, a digital production system has been created.
