Centerra Gold to launch arbitration against Kyrgyzstan over Kumtor mine
Kumtor mine.
Centerra Gold (TSX: CG) has initiated binding arbitration against the government of the Kyrgyz Republic in a legal skirmish over the company’s Kumtor mine.
In early May, lawmakers in Kyrgyzstan passed a bill allowing the state to seize Kumtor for up to three months. The decision was made based on the argument that the mine the largest gold operation in the Central Asian nation may pose danger to locals and the environment.
A few days later, on May 9, a district court imposed a US$3.1 billion fine on Kumtor Gold Company, Centerra’s local unit in charge of running its namesake operation, which was found to have breached environmental laws by placing waste rock on glaciers, according to private civil environmental claims.

A new law, rushed through the Kyrgyz parliament, could pose new threats to the business activity of the country’s largest gold mine operator, the latest of an endless series of disputes around Kyrgyzstan’s most profitable enterprise. Now, the company is seeking arbitration to resolve the ongoing dispute.
Under the guidance of the new bill, approved by parliament on May 8, the government could take over operations at the Kumtor gold mine for a period of three months in case of documented threats to the environment or human health.
While the law, signed by President Sadyr Japarov on May 14, does not explicitly target the Kumtor gold mine, it is directed toward companies that operate under concession agreements in Kyrgyzstan.
