The city was built in the Uzbek SSR in the late 1960s to serve gold mining enterprises. Gold production at the Muruntau deposit accounted for approximately 30% of the total gold production in the USSR. The official founding date of the city is 1965.
Entrance to the city
In 1958, a geological exploration party from Samarkand began exploring the region of the Bukantau, Tamdytau and Muruntau mountains. After the discovery of gold and uranium deposits in this region, the USSR Ministry of Medium Machine Building urgently issued an order to develop the region in Kyzylkum. From this moment the history of the city began. The first facilities of the GMZ-2 hydrometallurgical plant were erected in the shortest possible time. A unique gold deposit was being developed non-stop. Workers were recruited from all over the Soviet Union. Few went back; the enthusiasm for creation in extreme conditions took precedence over human affections, climate, nature, living conditions, etc.
