Chairman Ke Xiangjin Returns to Dodoma as Local Smelting Partnership Accelerates

On May 13 local time, Ke Xiangjin, Chairman of Jin'ang Holding, led the Tanzania team on another field visit to Zhongzhou Mining's Dodoma smelter and held in-depth discussions on local smelting cooperation. The two sides reached a high degree of strategic alignment on core issues including current production operations, process flows, product quality control, follow-up capacity expansion planning, resource security, feedstock organization, capacity matching, product standards, delivery mechanisms and trade cooperation, marking that Jin'ang Holding's integrated strategy of “mine — beneficiation — smelting — trade — finance” in Tanzania has fully entered a new stage of implementation.

｜On-site inspection of the smelter to fully understand capacity and product quality

Zhongzhou Mining is located in Dodoma, Tanzania, and is an important local nickel intermediate processing base. The Phase I plant has been completed, with a building area of about 10,000 square meters, and its supporting production line is ready for stable operation, with a designed capacity of 600 metal tonnes of high-grade nickel matte per month; once the Phase II plant is completed and fully operational, overall capacity will jump to 1,000 metal tonnes of high-grade nickel matte per month.

During the on-site inspection, Ke Xiangjin focused on understanding the smelter's equipment configuration, production processes, quality inspection system and feedstock adaptability, and set specific requirements for quality control of the finished high-grade nickel matte. Zhongzhou Mining said that the smelter has established a relatively complete production organization and quality management mechanism, capable of ensuring stable product quality, controllable processes and timely delivery, laying a solid foundation for long-term cooperation between the two sides.

Ke Xiangjin said that he had personally visited the site several times in order to understand the smelter's actual operating conditions more comprehensively and intuitively, to further verify its capacity delivery capability, product quality standards and specific cooperation plans, and to ensure that Jin'ang Holding's cooperation layout in Tanzania is more robust, pragmatic and implementable.

｜Clear highlights in the negotiations, with a clear path to implementation

·The first batch of feedstock is expected to start trial production in May and shift to regular production in June;

·After beneficiation, feedstock grade increases more than tenfold, with furnace feed quality at industry-leading levels;

·Finished high-grade nickel matte will be delivered directly to Jin'ang's designated warehouse, ensuring delivery, sales and payment collection efficiency;

·Trade and supply-chain finance will advance in parallel, improving the company's overall operating efficiency and capital turnover capability;

·Jin'ang Holding's strategic layout in Tanzania will be further improved, achieving coordinated development of mines and smelting.

These results not only mean that the cooperation between the two sides has entered a stage of substantive progress, but also that Jin'ang Holding's industrial layout in Tanzania has entered a new stage of development.

｜Jin'ang Holding: the launch of trade and supply-chain finance further highlights strategic significance

With the implementation of this smelting cooperation, Jin'ang Holding's trading business and supply-chain finance business will also be launched simultaneously. For the company, this is not only an extension of its business model, but an important part of its strategic upgrade.

As a core intermediate product in the nickel industry chain, high-grade nickel matte has strong market circulation attributes and financial attributes. Through the linkage of local smelting, warehousing and delivery, trade settlement and supply-chain finance, Jin'ang Holding can connect the various links of the industry chain more efficiently, achieve rapid conversion of resource value, and enhance cash flow capacity and capital operation efficiency.

At the same time, the generation of import and export trade data will also become an important foundation for the company's continued business expansion in Tanzania and international markets. A stable import and export scale can not only enhance the company's supply influence in the domestic nickel resource market, but also help further broaden financing channels, strengthen supply-chain credit and optimize the structure of domestic downstream customers, which is of important strategic significance for the company's future development.

｜Nickel: Jin'ang Holding's strategic engine product

Jin'ang Holding has always regarded nickel as the company's strategic engine product. As the global new energy industry continues to expand, the importance of nickel in power batteries, energy storage materials and high-end manufacturing continues to rise, and a stable, high-quality and controllable supply of nickel resources has become one of the core capabilities of corporate competition.

This local smelting cooperation with Zhongzhou Mining not only strengthens Jin'ang Holding's ability to secure nickel resources, but also further improves the company's industrial synergy layout in Africa. By beneficiating and smelting nickel ore locally in Tanzania, Jin'ang Holding will continue to increase product added value, compress overall costs and accelerate its penetration into key links of the domestic new energy materials supply chain.

Ke Xiangjin, Chairman of Jin'ang Holding, said that in the future the company will continue to adhere to the development path of “resources as the foundation, processing as the core, trade as the bridge and finance as the enabler”, continue to deepen its presence in the Tanzanian market, promote the coordinated development of nickel resource development, smelting and processing and international trade, and continuously enhance the resilience of the industry chain and its ability to serve China's domestic circulation.
