· We now segregate waste rock and ice and avoid codisposal. Ice reloed by Kumtor as part of its mining process is deposited back on other ice fields. The volumes of ice removed by Kumtor are small compared to the ice loss due to natural retreat (attributed to climate change), representing approximately 6 percent of natural ice loss from these same glaciers.
