Mr. Mikhail Slipenchuk delivered a report at the Forum of Industrialists and Businessmen of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member states on June 15.
The forum held in Shanghai was timed to the meeting of heads of
SCO member states.
In his speech, Mr. Mikhail Slipenchuk addressed his colleagues –
businessmen from SCO countries, proposing to ‘take an active part
in developing polymetal deposits in Buryatia’, and in particular
zinc deposits. He pointed out that joint implementation of these
projects is credible assurance of obtaining by its participants of
fixed zinc concentrate volumes in the future. Nowadays, we are
considering proposals of several well-known zinc producers;
however, we are fully open for dialogue with other interested
companies, noted Mr. Mikhail V. Slipenchuk. In addition, he called
upon foreign colleagues, first of all from Kazakhstan and China, to
view the option of establishing beryllium oxide production
facilities and later, copper and beryllium ligature production
facilities on the basis of the Yermak field.
Directly addressing top management of Kazatomprom National Nuclear
Company, the Ulbin metallurgical works, the Chinese Nuclear
Industry Ministry, Shui Kou Shan and Sinzang Non-Ferrous Metals
Industry, and other stakeholders, Mr. Mikhail Slipenchuk stated
that joint implementation of these projects could become tangible
content for the economic cooperation program as part of SCO and to
promote increase in trade turnover between our countries.
