Recently, the highly anticipated Xinjiang Huoshao Yun lead-zinc mine has added reserves of over 2 million tons, equivalent to the discovery of four large ore deposits. Since the acquisition of the exploration rights for the Huoshao Yun lead-zinc mine with a reserve of tens of millions of tons in Xinjiang for 25 billion RMB in early 2023, setting a record for the national exploration rights auction, Xinjiang Geological Investment (Group) Co., Ltd. ("Xinjiang Geological Group") has invested over 180 million RMB in geological exploration funds, completed drilling of 5680.45 meters, and trenching of 6436.36 cubic meters, with the addition of over 2 million tons of zinc and lead metal. "This new reserve is equivalent to the discovery of three large zinc ore deposits and one large lead ore deposit," said Wan Jianling, head of the exploration department of Xinjiang Huoshao Yun lead-zinc mine. Currently, the zinc and lead metal content within the three exploration rights of the Huoshao Yun lead-zinc mine has exceeded 21 million tons, making it the sixth largest lead-zinc mine in the world.
