Japanese JOGMEC enters Kazakhstan.

By bne IntelliNews July 21, 2010
Japanese state-backed Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp (JOGMEC) agreed with Tau-Ken Samruk National Mining Company to explore and develop minerals resources in Kazakhstan. The companies signed a memorandum of understanding for comprehensive cooperation which will focus on exploration, development and production of nonferrous metals. The Japanese company signed a similar agreement with Kazakhstan's Committee of Geology and Subsoil Usage in 2007. JOGMEC was established in 2004 to help secure stable supplies of oil, gas and minerals for Japan, including the conducting of field surveys to assist Japanese oil companies.
