In 1971 smelting operations commenced at the Zhezkazgan Complex. The Government of Kazakhstan forms the company, entitled OJSC Zhezgazgantsvetmet in 1992. From 1992 to 2002, a series of privatisations reduce the Government's holding from 100% to 0%. Samsung Corporation of Korea took over management of the company in June 1995. In 1996, Samsung acquired a 40% stake and subsequently sold it.

This was originally set out at the time of purchase in May 2008. On 11 November 2013 the Company announced the sale of its stake in ENRC. Following the transaction, which included the offer of certain Kazakhmys shares to ENRC shareholders, Kazakhmys becomes a majority free float company for the first time.
