[Tsumeb Smelter Polymetallic Comprehensive Recycling Project Phase I Commences Trial Operation] According to an announcement by Sinomine Resource Group Co., Ltd., on December 15, 2025, local time in Namibia, the pyrometallurgy process engineering for Phase I of the company's Tsumeb Smelter Polymetallic Comprehensive Recycling Project has been completed and successfully started trial production. The germanium-bearing zinc slag processing capacity is 80,000 mt/year. The Phase I pyrometallurgy process is expected to produce semi-finished products in the form of germanium-bearing zinc oxide fumes. Upon full project completion, the main products will include germanium ingots, industrial gallium, and zinc ingots, with a designed capacity of germanium ingots (33 mt/year), industrial gallium (11 mt/year), and zinc ingots (10,900 mt/year), and a designed production period of 15 years. In 2026, the company is expected to proceed as planned with the production operation of Phase I of the project, while also advancing the construction of the Phase II pyrometallurgy process engineering and the hydrometallurgy process engineering.
