Kazakhstan plans to create a national system for managing reserves of critical minerals before the end of 2026, Kazakh media reported, citing Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin.

For 2027, authorities plan to improve the coverage of the Unified Subsoil Use Platform and make geological data more transparent.

Exploration will place greater emphasis on modern technology and digital mapping. The announcement does not specify reserve targets for individual metals or the system's budget.
