Zhaksykylysh (Kazakh: Жақсықылыш; Russian: Жаксыкылыш) is a salt lake in Aral District, Kyzylorda Region, Kazakhstan.[1]
Table salt is being mined in Zhaksykylysh since 1925. Nowadays the Kyzylorda-based Araltuz company carries out the salt-mining operations.[2] Over 99% of the refined table salt produced in Kazakhstan is extracted at the Zhaksykylysh salt lakes, of which about 66% is exported.[3][4]
