Tashkent—Partners Eldor Mannopov and Bobur Shamsiev from Dentons’ Tashkent office contributed a chapter to the tenth edition of The Mining Law Review, published by Law Business Research.

Uzbekistan has the world's fourth-largest gold reserves and is ranked twelfth in the world and second among the CIS countries in terms of mining. Metallurgy is one of the largest domestic industries, and the most mined minerals are copper, gold, silver and uranium. The long-term programs adopted in recent years aim to accelerate the development, modernization and expansion of production of the large enterprises in the mining and metallurgical industry.

The adoption and further implementation of the presidential and government decisions in the mining sector signal that mining and subsoil use will continue to be among the leading economic sectors and key areas for attracting foreign investment to Uzbekistan.
