The project boasts a high-quality, large zinc-containing polymetallic mine, with a design throughput of 1 million tonnes per annum. It is commended as one of the exemplary projects of cooperation in the mining sector between China and Russia.

The project makes significant contributions to supporting local economic development, promoting employment, improving livelihoods, and driving the development of related industries. It collaborates with the Tuvan Republic Reindeer Herders Support Foundation, an indigenous organization at Todzhu, to support the preservation of traditional culture and improve the working conditions of reindeer herders. The project has also signed an agreement with the Tuvan Republic Development Foundation to support the economy of local communities. In addition, the project funded the design and renovation of the Kyzyl-Sareg-Shep Highway.

In 2006, Zijin Mining acquired a 70% interest in the Kyzyl-Tashtyg Zinc-Containing Polymetallic Mine in Russia.
