Kazakhstan is actively implementing a large-scale project to digitalize primary geological data, creating new opportunities for efficient subsoil use, data analytics, and investment attraction.

As of the end of 2024, a total of 1,905,976 units of geological data—including paper documents, graphics, magnetic tapes, and cartridges—had been successfully converted into digital format. This represents 42% of the total data earmarked for digitalization, more than doubling the previous year’s result.

Over the period of 2023–2024, a total of 2.7 million units of geological information were digitalized, including:

• Over 2.47 million paper and graphic records,

• More than 75,000 magnetic tapes,

• 50,000 cartridges.

In 2025, an additional 1.2 million units are planned to be digitalized, which is expected to bring the overall progress to 86% of the total volume designated for conversion.

This initiative is of strategic importance, as the creation of a digital geological database enhances the transparency, accessibility, and timeliness of geological exploration data. It supports the development of advanced analytics and simplifies operations for subsoil users.

Kazakhstan is confidently moving toward the establishment of a modern digital ecosystem in the geological sector that meets international standards.
