history

The development of a cobalt ore deposit began in the 1950s about 3 km north of the Tuvan village of Sailyg . A new housing estate was built two kilometers to the northeast, and in 1956, combined with the village of Sailyg, was given urban-type settlement status as Chowu-Aksy . In 1970 the mine and an ore processing plant went into operation under the name Tuwakobalt .

At the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet Union in May and June 1990, Chowu-Aksy was the focus of ethnic tensions between Tuvinians and Russians , many of whom subsequently left the place. In 1991 mining was stopped.

After Chowu-Aksy had previously belonged to the Tandinski koschuun , based in the village of Bai-Chaak a good 50 km to the east, in 1993 it became the administrative seat of a new Koschuun that was spun off from this. At the same time, the village of Sailyg became independent again and the seat of a sumon . Since 2005, Chowu-Aksy has also had the status of a village and seat of a sumon administration.
