As of September 2025, 2005 licenses for subsoil use have been issued in the country, of which 103 belong to state enterprises with full state participation.
According to the state balance of reserves, over 1020 deposits and occurrences of mineral resources have been registered in Kyrgyzstan, covering 51 types of mineral raw materials, including gold, silver, copper, antimony, tungsten, and rare earth elements. A list of 22 critical minerals with confirmed or estimated resources has also been compiled.
The investment dynamics in the mining sector have also been highlighted as an important aspect. From January to September 2025, the inflow of foreign investments in mineral extraction amounted to $190.3 million, which is 21.5% of the total volume of foreign direct investments in the country's economy. This clearly demonstrates a more than twofold increase compared to the same period last year (203.5%).
