What are your key goals for the next 12 months?
Korea Zinc plans to build an integrated smelter in the United States, in partnership with the U.S. government, to diversify global supply chain risks, respond to growing demand for non-ferrous metals and critical metals, and secure sustainable mid-to long-term growth. U.S. smelter will involve a total investment of approx. $7.4 billion, including capital from the U.S. government and investors, and is targeting trial operations in 2029 to produce 13 non-ferrous metals, including 11 critical metals, as well as semiconductor-grade sulfuric acid
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
Founded in 1974, Korea Zinc has evolved from a 50,000-ton-per-year zinc smelter into an integrated non-ferrous refining complex producing over 20 metals with annual output of approximately 1.2 million tons, underpinned by strong operational execution and a record of profitability for 103 consecutive quarters since quarterly reporting became mandatory.
