21 July 1969: the first gold bar
HMP-2 produced its first gold bar of 11 kg 820 g from Muruntau ore. That date is the starting point of Zarafshan’s production memory.
21 July 1969 is the anchor date in HMP-2 history. That day the plant produced its first gold bar, weighing 11 kilograms 820 grams, from ore mined at Muruntau. It was not only a process milestone: it was the start of Zarafshan as an industrial city.
The first bar recorded, in dense metal, the work of operators, builders and technologists. Capacity grew in later decades and the chain widened, but the memory of 21 July did not move: every shift still counts from that day.
This press portal keeps the date as production memory, not as anniversary rhetoric. The date, the weight and the deposit name are confirmed facts. They are the foundation of the brand story.
The plant workforce marks the day each year with professional respect. For new specialists, 1969 is not a textbook line — it is the root of shift work on the floor.
