Dastan Kosherbayev

Dastan Kosherbayev is the Chief Strategy and International Development Officer at NAC Kazatomprom JSC, the world's largest uranium producer, accounting for roughly 25% of global mine output. For resource investors, he is a regular corporate voice explaining uranium market fundamentals, production guidance, and the operating constraints that shape Kazakh supply.

Kosherbayev joined Kazatomprom in 2016 as a manager in the Corporate Governance Department and rose through the company on the commercial side. He ran the M&A section in Business Development from 2017 to 2019, then led the Sales Department from mid-2021 before being appointed Chief Commercial Officer and Management Board member in June 2023. In April 2024 he moved into his current strategy role, broadening his remit to international development and government-level engagement. He is an economics graduate of Middle East Technical University (class of 2001).

His work sits at the intersection of commercial discipline and supply-chain reality. Kazatomprom's mines are predominantly ISR operations — in-situ recovery, a method that leaches uranium from sandstone using injected solutions rather than conventional open-pit mining. That technical profile means sulphuric acid availability, wellfield development, and contractor capacity are the binding constraints investors need to understand, and Kosherbayev has become a regular explainer of those levers in investor interviews and on stages like PDAC, the World Nuclear Symposium, and an IAEA "Digging Deeper" briefing.

For investors building a view on the uranium tape, his commentary is useful precisely because it comes from the largest physical supplier in the market: production guidance, cost discipline, and project economics are framed from the seat where the actual tonnes are produced.
