In addition, the two sides also agreed to cooperate in upstream mineral resources, jointly look for high-quality mineral resources such as nickel, cobalt and manganese for cooperative development, obtain superior resources, and promote in-depth cooperation between upstream and downstream business and technology of the industrial chain. ensure supply stability and cost advantage.

What is worth paying attention to is that in the first half of this year, the revenue of the three main industries of Xiamen tungsten industry increased significantly.
