Olmaliq, Mining center in Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan.

The city extends along the northern slopes of the Qurama Mountains and the Ohangaron River at an altitude of 585 meters.

Established in 1951, Olmaliq emerged from settlements that developed around mineral deposits, including copper, lead, zinc, gold, and silver.

The name derives from Uzbek language, meaning Apple Grove, due to numerous wild apple trees that previously populated the valley.

The metallurgical complex JSC Almalyk MMC employs 25,000 residents and processes nonferrous metals, making it central to the local economy.

The city contains one of the largest mining facilities in Central Asia, processing multiple minerals including copper, molybdenum, lead, and zinc.
